Therefore this should satisfy the following: blocks_in_image_max * sizeof(uint32_t) + BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE == INT_MAX + 1 (INT_MAX + 1 is the first value not representable as an int) This guarantees that any value below or equal to the constant will, when multiplied by sizeof(uint32_t) and rounded up to a BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE boundary, still be below or equal to INT_MAX.
