20130326150 | PROCESS FOR MAINTAINING DATA WRITE ORDERING THROUGH A CACHE - A cache is maintained with write order numbers that indicate orders of writes into the cache, so that periodic partial flushes of the cache can be executed while maintaining write order consistency. A method of storing data into the cache includes receiving a request to write data into the cache, identifying lines in the cache for storing the data, writing the data into the lines of the cache, storing a write order number, and associating the write order number with the lines of the cache. A method of flushing a cache having cache lines associated with write order numbers includes the steps of identifying lines in the cache that are associated with either a selected write order number or a write order number that is less than the selected write order number, and flushing data stored in the identified lines to a persistent storage. | 12-05-2013 |
20140032850 | Transparent Virtualization of Cloud Storage - Embodiments present a virtual disk image to applications such as virtual machines (VMs) executing on a computing device. The virtual disk image corresponds to one or more subparts of binary large objects (blobs) of data stored by a cloud service, and is implemented in a log structured format. Grains of the virtual disk image are cached by the computing device. The computing device caches only a subset of the grains and performs write operations without blocking the applications to reduce storage latency perceived by the applications. Some embodiments enable the applications that lack enterprise class storage to benefit from enterprise class cloud storage services. | 01-30-2014 |

20140244938 | Method and Apparatus for Returning Reads in the Presence of Partial Data Unavailability - Techniques are disclosed for reducing perceived read latency. Upon receiving a read request with a scatter-gather array from a guest operating system running on a virtual machine (VM), an early read return virtualization (ERRV) component of a virtual machine monitor fills the scatter-gather array with data from a cache and data retrieved via input-output requests (IOs) to media. The ERRV component is configured to return the read request before all IOs have completed based on a predefined policy. Prior to returning the read, the ERRV component may unmap unfilled pages of the scatter-gather array until data for the unmapped pages becomes available when IOs to the external media complete. Later accesses to unmapped pages will generate page faults, which are handled by stunning the VMs from which the access requests originated until, e.g., all elements of the SG array are filled and all pages of the SG array are mapped. | 08-28-2014 |
20140325141 | TRIM SUPPORT FOR A SOLID-STATE DRIVE IN A VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT - A computer system that employs a solid-state memory device as a physical storage resource includes a hypervisor that is capable of supporting TRIM commands issued by virtual machines running in the computer system. When a virtual machine issues a TRIM command to its corresponding virtual storage device to invalidate data stored therein, the TRIM command is received at an interface layer in the hypervisor that translates the TRIM command to a SCSI command known as UMMAP. A SCSI virtualization layer converts the UNMAP command to a file system command to delete portions of the virtual storage device that is maintained as a file in the hypervisor's file system. Upon receiving the delete commands, the hypervisor's file system driver generates a TRIM command to invalidate the data stored in the solid-state memory device at locations corresponding to the portions of the file that are to be deleted. | 10-30-2014 |
