Coverity is reporting issues with negative
returns. I think that is because

size_t page = GetPageSize();

will always result in page being positive even if GetPageSize fails and returns -1 since size_t cannot be negative. This then would result n the check right afterwards not catching the failure.

Fix by converting to size_t after we do the check.

I might be missing something but I don't see how this helps. GoogleTest's EXPECT_GE does not stop execution, it just logs an error. (I didn't know this at first, which is why I used EXPECT_GE in GetPageSize(), see #44795.)

That's kind of exactly what GetPageSize() does internally: assign to an int first, check that it is positive, then cast to size_t :)

@tniessen I can't remember what I was thinking at this point, but I see your point so closing.
