From 256024083ce2302c7dbd2e41c55c00eeb54a9c74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: naoNao89 <90588855+naoNao89@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:47:25 +0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(dd): optimize O_DIRECT buffer alignment to reduce syscall overhead Implement page-aligned buffer allocation and optimize O_DIRECT flag handling to match GNU dd behavior. Key changes: - Add allocate_aligned_buffer() for page-aligned memory allocation - Update buffer allocation to use aligned buffers - Modify handle_o_direct_write() to only remove O_DIRECT for partial blocks - Add Output::write_with_o_direct_handling() for proper O_DIRECT handling - Add comprehensive unit and integration tests Fixes #6078 --- src/uu/dd/src/dd.rs | 208 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- tests/by-util/test_dd.rs | 146 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 332 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/uu/dd/src/dd.rs b/src/uu/dd/src/dd.rs index 7cc4f73924d..020950ef2fa 100644 --- a/src/uu/dd/src/dd.rs +++ b/src/uu/dd/src/dd.rs @@ -65,6 +65,39 @@ use uucore::{format_usage, show_error}; const BUF_INIT_BYTE: u8 = 0xDD; +/// Helper function to allocate a page-aligned buffer on Linux/Android. +/// +/// O_DIRECT requires buffers to be aligned to page boundaries (typically 4096 bytes). +/// This function allocates a `Vec` with proper alignment to support O_DIRECT +/// without triggering EINVAL errors. +#[cfg(any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android"))] +fn allocate_aligned_buffer(size: usize) -> Vec { + let alignment = unsafe { libc::sysconf(libc::_SC_PAGESIZE) as usize }; + // cspell:disable-next-line + let ptr = unsafe { libc::memalign(alignment, size) as *mut u8 }; + + assert!( + !ptr.is_null(), + "Failed to allocate aligned buffer of size {size}" + ); + + // Initialize with BUF_INIT_BYTE + unsafe { + std::ptr::write_bytes(ptr, BUF_INIT_BYTE, size); + } + + // Convert raw pointer to Vec + // cspell:disable-next-line + // SAFETY: We just allocated this memory with memalign, so it's valid + unsafe { Vec::from_raw_parts(ptr, 0, size) } +} + +/// Fallback for non-Linux platforms - use regular Vec allocation +#[cfg(not(any(target_os = "linux", target_os = "android")))] +fn allocate_aligned_buffer(size: usize) -> Vec { + vec![BUF_INIT_BYTE; size] +} + /// Final settings after parsing #[derive(Default)] struct Settings { @@ -688,8 +721,17 @@ fn is_sparse(buf: &[u8]) -> bool { /// Handle O_DIRECT write errors by temporarily removing the flag and retrying. /// This follows GNU dd behavior for partial block writes with O_DIRECT. +/// +/// With proper buffer alignment (page-aligned), O_DIRECT should only fail for +/// partial blocks (size < output_blocksize).
