Proposal for adding O_DIRECT support into JDK 9

[Lu, Yingqi]

Hi Brain,

I had that issue before. I solved it by provide the -nativepath: to jtreg (only test it on Linux). Are you already using the parameter?

I will have to look into the Windows code. Will let you know soon.

Thanks,
Lucy

Hi Lucy,

DirectIOTest fails for me on Linux, macOS, and Solaris with the message "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no DirectIO in java.library.path."

There is a compilation error on Windows which is fixed by the patch included below. With this patch applied however the four read/write direct tests fail with this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unit size not a power of two: -1
          at java.base/java.nio.ByteBuffer.alignmentOffset(ByteBuffer.java:1659)
          at java.base/java.nio.ByteBuffer.alignedSlice(ByteBuffer.java:1729)
          at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Util.getTemporaryAlignedDirectBuffer(Util.java:263)
          at java.base/sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.java:72)
          at java.base/sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.write(FileChannelImpl.java:277)

Thanks,

Brian
