Currently it is allowed to set innodb_io_capacity to very large value
up to unsigned 8 byte maximum value 18446744073709551615. While
calculating the number of pages to flush, we could sometime go beyond
innodb_io_capacity. Specifically, MDEV-24369 has introduced a logic
for aggressive flushing when dirty page percentage in buffer pool
exceeds innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct. So, when innodb_io_capacity is
set to very large value and dirty page percentage exceeds the
threshold, there is a multiplication overflow in Innodb page cleaner.
Fix: We should prevent setting io_capacity to unrealistic values and
define a practical limit to it. The patch introduces limits for
innodb_io_capacity_max and innodb_io_capacity to the maximum of 4 byte
unsigned integer i.e. 4294967295 (2^32-1). For 16k page size this limit
translates to 64 TiB/sec write IO speed which looks sufficient.
