I need help in understanding this alignment error. The error message is
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 14 (ID 24380: iscsi:idm:idm_pdu_rx_forward_ffp:nop-receive): invalid alignment (0xffffff03df31b06c) in action #1 at DIF offset 32

This is a new probe that has two arguments - conninfo_t and iscsiinfo_t
In my D script, I print out just the datalen field from argument 1.
iscsi:::
{
  printf("datalen[%d],", args[1]->ii_datalen);
}

I use a translator to translate from C struct iscsi_nop_out_hdr_t to D struct iscsiinfo_t

The D struct iscsiinfo_t is defined as
typedef struct iscsiinfo {
       string ii_target;       /* target iqn */
       string ii_initiator;    /* initiator iqn */
       string ii_isid;         /* initiator session identifier */
       string ii_tsih;         /* target session identifying handle */
string ii_transport; /* transport type ("iser-ib", "sockets") */

       uint64_t ii_lun;        /* target logical unit number */

       uint32_t ii_itt;        /* initiator task tag */
       uint32_t ii_ttt;        /* target transfer tag */

       uint32_t ii_cmdsn;      /* command sequence number */
       uint32_t ii_statsn;     /* status sequence number */
       uint32_t ii_datasn;     /* data sequence number */

       uint32_t ii_datalen;    /* length of data payload */
       uint32_t ii_flags;      /* probe-specific flags */
} iscsiinfo_t;

The native structure is defined as
/* NOP-Out Message */
typedef struct _iscsi_nop_out_hdr {
       uint8_t opcode;
       uint8_t flags;
       uint16_t rsvd2;
       uint8_t rsvd3;
       uint8_t dlength[3];
       uint8_t lun[8];
       uint32_t itt;   /* Initiator Task Tag */
       uint32_t ttt;   /* Target Transfer Tag */
       uint32_t cmdsn;
       uint32_t expstatsn;
       uint8_t rsvd4[16];
} iscsi_nop_out_hdr_t;

My translator looks like this

#pragma D binding "1.5" translator
translator iscsiinfo_t < iscsi_nop_out_hdr_t *P > {
       <snip>
       <snip>
ii_datalen = P->dlength[0] << 16 || P->dlength[1] << 8 || P->dlength[2];
};

Any hints on how I can debug this problem is appreciated
Hmm... nothing jumps out at me right off -- the address is 4-byte-aligned and you don't access any 8-byte values that I can see. Unless struct iscsiinfo somehow doesn't get 8-byte-aligned and you actually croak while initializing ii_lun? What happens if you move ii_lun to be the first member of the struct? Those strings are just char[256] (unless you've changed the size limit), and don't impose any alignment constraints. It shouldn't matter, but who knows... You could also try not initializing ii_lun at all to see if the error disappears, though that's obviously not a permanent solution.

BTW, you are using logical '||' instead bitwise '|' to reconstruct ii_datalen, which is probably not what you want.

Ryan
