Hi; Coverity points out a problem with this code (CID 1490787):
Thanks for pointing out this bug.  I'm making a access request for
https://scan.coverity.com so that coverity problem can be found once new
series be posted. Hoping this bug doesn't appear anymore. :)

+static inline int64_t dirtylimit_dirty_ring_full_time(uint64_t dirtyrate)
+{
+    static uint64_t max_dirtyrate;
+    uint32_t dirty_ring_size = kvm_dirty_ring_size();
+    uint64_t dirty_ring_size_meory_MB =
+        dirty_ring_size * TARGET_PAGE_SIZE >> 20;

Because dirty_ring_size and TARGET_PAGE_SIZE are both 32 bits,
this multiplication will be done as a 32-bit operation,
which could overflow. You should cast one of the operands
to uint64_t to ensure that the operation is done as a 64 bit
multiplication.

To compute MB, you don't need multiplication:

   dirty_ring_size >> (20 - TARGET_PAGE_BITS)

In addition, why the mismatch in type?  dirty_ring_size_memory_MB can never be larger than dirty_ring_size.


r~

I'll post bugfix patch later as your suggestion, please review, thanks.

Side note: typo in the variable name: should be 'memory'.


+    if (max_dirtyrate < dirtyrate) {
+        max_dirtyrate = dirtyrate;
+    }
+
+    return dirty_ring_size_meory_MB * 1000000 / max_dirtyrate;
+}

thanks
