O_DIRECT buglet

Hi,

Doing O_DIRECT I/O to a buffer which is not on an appropriate block boundary
seem to fail with return code 22 instead of -22 (EINVAL). This is on 2.4.2
with an XFS tree checkout from 20010329.


tia,

	int fd;
	char *p;

	p = (char *)((((unsigned long)buf) + 8191) & ~8191L);
	fd = open("blah", O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);

	printf("write returns %i\n", write(fd, buf, 8192));
	printf("write returns %i\n", write(fd, p, 1));

	return 0;
}

write returns 22
