Is this problem shown by the following job:

./fio --ioengine=null --write_bw_log=/dev/null --log_avg_msec=2000
--size=100M --runtime=10s --time_based --name=overflow

Among Clang's undefined behaviour sanitizer output was this for the above:
stat.c:2265:43: runtime error: unsigned integer overflow: 1999 - 2000
cannot be represented in type 'unsigned long'
stat.c:2265:28: runtime error: unsigned integer overflow: 3999 -
4294967295 cannot be represented in type 'unsigned long'

Is it still safe to use int if you're targeting a 32 bit platform?
