[vlc-devel] [PATCH] block: double the possible allocation size

[Alexandre Janniaux]

An 8k RGB image doesn't fit within the maximum allocation size
constraint installed in block_Alloc. Indeed, 2^27 is 134217728 while
the RGB 8k jpeg image sample in #19979 will allocate 201326592.

In general, 8k with 4 byte per pixel can go up to 132710400, without
taking into account additional padding, so doubling the allocation size
is enough to handle those pictures, while keeping a limit for the
maximum allocation size.

Fixes #19979
