mysql fails to start with innodb_track_changed_pages=1 and innodb_flush_method=ALL_O_DIRECT

[George Ormond Lorch III]

With a fresh build/install of PS 5.5 @ revno 506, mysqld fails to start with innodb_track_changed_pages=1 and innodb_flush_method=ALL_O_DIRECT:

innodb_file_format=barracuda
innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_flush_method=ALL_O_DIRECT
innodb_log_file_size=512M
innodb_track_changed_pages=1

Reproduced this on two different machines. Set innodb_track_changed_pages=0, delete datadir and re-create w/ mysql_install_db and server starts fine.

If I remove the innodb_flush_method but leave innodb_track_changed_pages=1, server will start fine so seems to be some interaction between the two.

Yup, a known issue...
