I am surprised none of the automated checking complained about that
assignment.

I can't remember, but I think that check for node < 0 was added to handle
overflow during the above assignment. Do you remember Zhenguo Yao?

Sorry for my late reply. This check for node < 0 was added
to handle node parameter overflow from the earliest version:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
Parameter of node allocation was: hugepages_node=xx hugepages=xx at this
version. With the changing of the code, this check has lost its effect.
