20090198885 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR HOST SOFTWARE STRIPE MANAGEMENT IN A STRIPED STORAGE SUBSYSTEM - Systems and methods for coalescing host generated write requests in a RAID software driver module to generate full stripe write I/O operations to storage devices. Where RAID management is implemented exclusively in software features and aspects hereof improve performance by using full stripe write operations instead of slower read-modify-write operations. The features and aspects may be implemented for example within a software RAID driver module coupled to a plurality of storage devices in a storage system devoid of RAID specific hardware and circuits. | 08-06-2009 |
20090235023 | Stripe Caching and Data Read Ahead - A method of improving a serial IO operation, where the serial IO operation includes at least one of a read operation of a data block and a write operation of a data block, and the serial IO operation is directed to a logical disk of a computerized data storage system. Only one stripe of data is read from the logical disk into a cache, and it is determined whether the data block for the IO operation is included within the cache. When the data block for the IO operation is included within the cache, then for a read operation, the IO operation is serviced from the cache. For a write operation, the cache is updated with the data block to be written, and only an updated parity block is written to the logical disk. When the data block for the IO operation is not included within the cache, then for a read operation, only one new stripe of data that includes the data block is read from the logical disk into the cache, and the IO operation is serviced from the cache. For a write operation, only one new stripe of data that excludes the data block is read from the logical disk into the cache, the cache is updated with the data block to be written, and only an updated parity block is written to the logical disk. | 09-17-2009 |
20090235259 | Synchronous Adaption of Asynchronous Modules - A program disposed on a computer readable medium, having a main program with a first routine for issuing commands in an asynchronous manner and a second routine for determining whether the commands have been completed in an asynchronous manner. An auxiliary program adapts the main program to behave in a synchronous manner, by receiving control from the first routine, waiting a specified period of time with a wait routine, passing control to the second routine to determine whether any of the commands have been completed during the specified period of time, receiving control back from the second routine, and determining whether all of the commands have been completed. When all of the commands have not been completed, then the auxiliary program passes control back to the wait routine. When all of the commands have been completed, then the auxiliary program ends. | 09-17-2009 |
20100218193 | RESOURCE ALLOCATION FAILURE RECOVERY MODULE OF A DISK DRIVER - A method of resource allocation failure recovery is disclosed. The method generally includes steps (A) to (E). Step (A) may generate a plurality of resource requests from a plurality of driver modules to a manager module executed by a processor. Step (B) may generate a plurality of first calls from the manager module to a plurality of allocation modules in response to the resource requests. Step (C) may allocate a plurality of resources to the driver modules using the allocation modules in response to the first calls. Step (D) may allocate a portion of a memory pool to a particular recovery packet using the manager module in response to the allocation modules signaling a failed allocation of a particular one of the resources. Step (E) may recover from the failed allocation using the particular recovery packet. | 08-26-2010 |
