ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
OSX 11.6 on Apple M1 MacBook Pro
Fails on both the Arm64 and x86 version of JDK 17

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
FileChannel.write(ByteBuffer[] ..) with 3x 1Gb direct ByteBuffers fails with IOException
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Invalid argument
        at java.base/sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.writev0(Native Method)
        at java.base/sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.writev(FileDispatcherImpl.java:74)
        at java.base/sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.java:182)
        at java.base/sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.write(FileChannelImpl.java:314)
        at java.base/java.nio.channels.FileChannel.write(FileChannel.java:424)
        at jasperdb.FileChannel2GLimitTest.main(FileChannel2GLimitTest.java:23)
It fails on Mac but works on linux with the but only writes 2Gb of data filled in bug internal review ID : 9071589

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Example failing code attached. Basically just call FIleChannel.write(new ByteBuffer[] {
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB),
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB),
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB)
        })

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
File with 3GB of zero data
ACTUAL -
IOException

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption;

public class FileChannel2GLimitTest {
    static final int GB = 1024*1024*1024;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        ByteBuffer[] bigBuffers = new ByteBuffer[] {
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB),
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB),
                ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB)
        };
        for(ByteBuffer buf:bigBuffers) buf.clear();
        Path tempFile = Files.createTempFile("FileChannel2GLimitTest",".dat");
        try {
            System.out.println("Starting to write 3Gb of data...");
            FileChannel fc = FileChannel.open(tempFile, StandardOpenOption.CREATE,StandardOpenOption.WRITE);
            long bytesWritten = fc.write(bigBuffers);
            System.out.printf("Bytes written = %,d\n",bytesWritten);
            System.out.printf("Total bytes = %,d\n",GB*3L);
        } finally {
            Files.delete(tempFile);
        }
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Seems like calling write 3 times with 1Gb each works fine

 ByteBuffer bigBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(GB);
        bigBuffer.clear();
        Path tempFile = Files.createTempFile("FileChannel2GLimitTest",".dat");
        try {
            System.out.println("Starting to write 3Gb of data...");
            FileChannel fc = FileChannel.open(tempFile, StandardOpenOption.CREATE,StandardOpenOption.WRITE);
            long bytesWritten = fc.write(bigBuffer);
            System.out.printf("Bytes written = %,d\n",bytesWritten);
            bigBuffer.clear();
            bytesWritten = fc.write(bigBuffer);
            System.out.printf("Bytes written = %,d\n",bytesWritten);
            bigBuffer.clear();
            bytesWritten = fc.write(bigBuffer);
            System.out.printf("Bytes written = %,d\n",bytesWritten);
            System.out.printf("Total bytes = %,d\n",GB*3L);
            fc.close();
        } finally {
            Files.delete(tempFile);
        }
