Yes, you're right. This is the new patch. Please review. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] increasing buffer size for correct alignment
For align buffer address to the number specified by -a option in
aio-stress, it needs to add page_size_mask extra length to total_ram
before call allocation functions. Or it wouldn't be correct in this line
after the allocation:
p = (char *)((intptr_t) (p + page_size_mask) & ~page_size_mask);
