downtime_limit is an int64_t while value is a double.

There is a diagnostic (-Wfloat-conversion, included by -Wconversion)

   warning: conversion from ‘double’ to ‘int64_t’ {aka ‘long int’} may change value [-Wfloat-conversion]

but it is not enabled by -Wall or -Wextra.

I am not familiar with qemu coding style, but I strongly feel it is a good
thing to add an explicit cast. If it does not fit the style, I hope a
maintainer can delete that for me.

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong patch file. Attaching the correct one now.

There's <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/qemu-devel/>.

Good, such versioning is essential to avoid confusion.  Next time, start
a new top-level thread for v2.  Our patch submission processing
(automated as well as human) expects that.

I just did it for you: "[PATCH v3 0/2] Fix incorrect integer->float
conversion caught by clang".

Many thanks for your fixes!

From d533585df39083e88adc50b881a4be74125c837e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Fix incorrect integer->float conversion caught by clang
 -Wimplicit-int-float-conversion
To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org

The warning will be enabled by default in clang 10. It is not available for clang <= 9.

...
