AI spotted something here

Error: rte_delay_us_sleep() takes unsigned int us. 
The call rte_delay_us_sleep(res->secs * 1E6) silently converts a double to unsigned int. 
If the user passes a negative value (which RTE_FLOAT_DOUBLE allows), 
this is undefined behavior per C standard (negative floating point to unsigned integer conversion). 
There should be a validation check that res->secs >= 0 (and ideally an upper bound) before the call.
