qw app at its init stage reserve 2*sizeof(int) memory space for quota and low_watermark shared variables, but both apps (qw and qwctl) assign wrong address for low_watermark pointer (out of reserved memzone space) due to wrong pointer arithmetic.
CID 30709 : Extra sizeof expression (SIZEOF_MISMATCH) suspicious_pointer_arithmetic: Adding 4UL /* sizeof (int) */ to pointer (unsigned int *)(*qw_memzone).addr of type unsigned int * is suspicious because adding an integral value to this pointer automatically scales that value by the size, 4 bytes, of the pointed-to type, unsigned int. Most likely, sizeof (int) is extraneous and should be replaced with 1.
