Abot "truncate the size to UINT_MAX - 4096":
4096 refers to PAGE_SIZE (the standard memory page size in most systems)?
If so, wouldn't UINT_MAX & PAGE_MASK be more appropriate? 
like: `#define MAX_RW_COUNT (INT_MAX & PAGE_MASK)`
UINT_MAX & PAGE_MASK ensures the operation does not cross a page boundary.
