Thanks for the patch and detailed comment.

could it be
ps.chunk_size = max(ps.chunk_size, 1U);
or can be merged with earlier max()
ps.chunk_size = max(ps.chunk_size, max(job->min_chunk, 1U));
ps.chunk_size = roundup(ps.chunk_size, job->align);
sits well with how entire file is written and compiler is optimizing
them to same level.
