Proposal for adding O_DIRECT support into JDK 9

[Lu, Yingqi]

Hi Alan,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. FileStore is a better home for the alignment value. We will use It in our next version of the patch and update here for review soon.

Thanks,
Lucy

Another approach might be use ioctl to get the block size and use that as the alignment value. I think ioctl is available on UNIX based OSes (please chime in if I miss any OS here) and has a similar call for Windows named DeviceIoControl. The request code of ioctl is different from OS to OS, but we could address that in the native code.

A possible approach (I think I mentioned this in one of the early mails) is to have FileStore expose the block size that can be use to align and size the buffer.
