Hi All, Thanks for you apply! If directioIO + async IO requirement that alignment, it shouldn't aligned by PAGE for each journal entry. For it may write many entries of journal once time So it should do alignment after [prepare_multi_write] rather than do it each in [prepare_single_write] ?

It is a direct-IO+async IO requirement (writing on page-size boundary which is incidentally also a multiply of sector size).
