DHT layout computation uses a count of 1MB chunks to denote the size of a single brick. When totaling these chunks up the int32 value overflows, and causes incorrect chunk computation, giving rise to overflowing layout every few bricks (the above layout sort order would be slightly incorrect when viewed from DHT dev eyes, as it should be sorted based on subvolume name as it is a fresh layout).

The function being referred to where this overflow occurs is: dht_selfheal_layout_new_directory
 - total_size here overflows when adding chunks from each brick pair
 - hence chunk becomes a larger value, as a result we do not end up with disjoint layout ranges

To fix the issue, this computation needs to be fixed to handle total chunks beyond 32 bit integer. Looking at possible solutions here.

Won't using an unsigned 64 bit type for variables total_size, chunks (and relevant variables) fix the issue? With 64 bit, we can handle around 17179869184.0 PB, which should be sufficient.

Currently the max size is 0xffffffff. With the increase in the total size would be need to increase the maz size as well?

    dht : changing variable type to avoid overflow
    
    For layout computation we find total size of the cluster
    and store it in an unsigned 32 bit variable. For large
    clusters this value may overflow which leads to wrong
    computations and for some bricks the layout may overflow.
    Hence using unsigned 64 bit to handle large values.
