From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> This program fails on filesystems where the stat() block size isn't a strict power of two because it foolishly feeds that to posix_memalign to allocate an aligned memory buffer for directio. posix_memalign requires the alignment value to be a power of two, so generic/586 fails. The system page size generally works well for directio buffers, so use that instead. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
