Ugh...  My patch wasn't needed at all.  I should have looked more
carefully.  pblk_get_secs() can only return up to UINT_MAX / 4096 so
it can't overflow to negative.

pblk_get_secs() should probably return sector_t instead of unsigned int?

I do get another static checker warning caused by the pblk-cache code.
drivers/lightnvm/pblk-rl.c:30 pblk_rl_user_may_insert() XXX: potential integer overflow from user 'rb_user_cnt + nr_entries'

It's seems like a true warning but harmless.

drivers/lightnvm/pblk-rb.c
   425  /*
   426   * Atomically check that (i) there is space on the write buffer for the
   427   * incoming I/O, and (ii) the current I/O type has enough budget in the write
   428   * buffer (rate-limiter).
   429   */
   430  int pblk_rb_may_write_user(struct pblk_rb *rb, struct bio *bio,
   431                             unsigned int nr_entries, unsigned int *pos)
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^
Assume this is very high.

   432  {
   433          struct pblk *pblk = container_of(rb, struct pblk, rwb);
   434          int flush_done;
   435  
   436          spin_lock(&rb->w_lock);
   437          if (!pblk_rl_user_may_insert(&pblk->rl, nr_entries)) {
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We can have an integer overflow in here so this passes.

   438                  spin_unlock(&rb->w_lock);
   439                  return NVM_IO_REQUEUE;
   440          }
   441  
   442          if (!pblk_rb_may_write_flush(rb, nr_entries, pos, bio, &flush_done)) {
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But this check won't pass, so it's harmless.

   443                  spin_unlock(&rb->w_lock);
   444                  return NVM_IO_REQUEUE;
   445          }
   446  
   447          pblk_rl_user_in(&pblk->rl, nr_entries);
   448          spin_unlock(&rb->w_lock);
   449  
   450          return flush_done;
   451  }
