[New-bugs-announce] [issue38167] O_DIRECT read fails with 4K mmap buffer

[Paul]

New submission from Paul <paul.carlisle at gmail.com>:

The following Python3 script fails.

import mmap
import os

fd = os.open(path_to_file, os.O_DIRECT | os.O_RDWR)
fo = os.fdopen(fd, 'rb+')
m = mmap.mmap(-1, 4096)
fo.readinto(m)

But it worked for Python2.  It also works for any other multiple of 4K. For example:

m = mmap.mmap(-1, 8192)
fo.readinto(m)

Is fine!
