A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions executable to:

• receive data and a header;
• determine a minimum number of buffers that are configured to collectively store the data and the header, wherein
• the minimum number is an integer greater than or equal to two;
• determine placement information for the data and the header within the buffers, wherein the placement information is determined based, at least in part, on
• a size of each of the buffers,
• a page-boundary-alignment of the data,
• a header alignment of the header, and
• the placement information identifies a second-to-last buffer;
• and
• write the data and the header to the buffers, wherein
• writing the data uses the placement information,
• the data is written on page boundaries, and
• the header is written on a header boundary of the second-to-last buffer.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the one or more processors to:
• receive data and a header;
• determine a minimum number of buffers that are configured to collectively store the data and the header, wherein
• the minimum number is an integer greater than or equal to two;
• determine placement information for the data and the header within the buffers, wherein
• the placement information is determined based, at least in part, on
• a size of each of the buffers,
• a page-boundary-alignment of the data, and
• a header alignment of the header, and
• the placement information identifies a second-to-last buffer;
• and
• write the data and the header to the buffers, wherein
• writing the data uses the placement information,
• the data is written on page boundaries, and
• the header is written on a header boundary of the second-to-last buffer.
