Hi all,
Sorry for the noise! I didn't mean to send the version2.

Subject: [PATCH v2] raid6/test/test.c: bug fix: Specify aligned(alignment) attributes to the char arrays

Specifying the aligned attributes to the char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] and char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] arrays, so that all malloc memory is page boundary aligned.

Without these alignment attributes, the test causes a segfault in userspace when the NDISKS are changed to 4 from 16.
