Hi Andreas, In Ceph, buffers can be aligned if required using buffer::create_page_aligned
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/common/buffer.cc#L519 https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/common/buffer.cc#L230 and although the Jerasure plugin has alignment requirements https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/osd/ErasureCodePluginJerasure/ErasureCodeJerasure.cc#L79 it did not occur to me that aligning the buffers used to stored the encoded https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/osd/ErasureCodePluginJerasure/ErasureCodeJerasure.cc#L87 result would be needed. For decoding the caller is responsible for allocating the buffers. For encoding it also is, except for the padding. Do you think the API should recommend something regarding alignment ? https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/osd/ErasureCodeInterface.h#L20 Cheers -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre
