The gint freq could hold the value 2^31-1, that later used in the code as: ``` timespec_add_msec(&timer->expires, freq * 1000); ``` While the timespec_add_msec last argument is a glong that could hold 1000*2^31-1, the multiplication happens in the gint domain, which overflows yielding a negative number. Causing the timer imidiate trigger. Signed-off-by: Kokan <[email protected]>

The current
stats-freqoption could go as high as2^31-1(which of course kinda unrealistic), but the opposite happens, the stats reports start to spawn right away in an infinite loop manner.When timer is adjusted (
timespec_add_msec(&timer->expires, freq * 1000);) thefreq * 1000is used, where thefreqhas the typegint, and the function - correctly - waits aglong, but the multiplication happens before the parameter assignment and in the domain ofgintthat yieldsgintoverflow.
