why?

Next patch does it correctly:

+    if (params->has_x_vcpu_dirty_limit_period &&
+        (params->x_vcpu_dirty_limit_period < 1 ||
+         params->x_vcpu_dirty_limit_period > 1000)) {
+        error_setg(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE,
+                   "x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period",
+                   "a value between 1 and 1000");
+        return false;
+    }
+
     return true;
 }

I hate to have to search several places to check for errors in values.
We get all errors in the functions that set the parameters.

Can you resend with just the monitor command removed?

Or there is any advantage of getting the error message from
qemu_set_vcpu_dirty_limit()?

Later, Juan.
