Hi Gustavo,

table_size never exceeds 8192, so there's really not an issue with
integer overflow here. However, I checked the codegen of before/after
this patch, and it looks like gcc realizes this too, and so elides
them to be basically the same. So I'll apply this to the
wireguard-linux tree. Thanks for the patch.

Jason
