Hi all. I am having some troubles with open() O_DIRECT. When trying to write out the contents of a mmap()'ed IO buffer using O_DIRECT, I get a "Bad Address" error. This happens on debian kernels above 2.6.8 and Fedora Core 4 kernels. Like wise with vanilla kernel.org kernels. However, with debian's provided 2.6.8 kernel, there was not such issue. Everything works fine if O_DIRECT is not used. The memery I am workign with is 512 byte aligned. I am unsure and am hoping someone can point me into the right direction. I have spent a fair amount of time on google and review vendor kernels and kernel.org changelogs, but have not seen anything that might help. Thanks in advance.
