Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to a method and a device for writing data into a cache. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a writing IO request command, wherein the command comprises metadata of data to be written; acquiring a first metadata set, and judging whether remaining free blocks exist in the first metadata set or not; if so, writing the metadata of the data to be written into one of the remaining free blocks, and writing the metadata of the data to be written into metadata blocks which correspond to the first metadata set; otherwise, judging whether remaining free blocks exist in a second metadata set or not, acquiring the second metadata set if the remaining free blocks exist in the second metadata set, and writing the metadata of the data to be written into one of the remaining free blocks of the second metadata set; writing the metadata of the data to be written into metadata blocks which correspond to the second metadata set. By adopting the method and the device, the problem of influence on the service life of Flash due to frequent writing of the metadata into the Flash can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data storage, in particular to a method and device for writing data into a cache. Background technique [0002] In the existing read-write cache (Cache) in the industry, the storage media generally adopted are all based on non-volatile memory (A Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module, NVDIMM) or non-volatile random access memory ( Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, NVRAM), but based on the above-mentioned devices, the capacity of the write cache is usually relatively small, and it is difficult to cope with a large number of random write pressure scenarios. [0003] In the prior art, a flash memory (Flash) device is used as the Cache. To ensure data security, each write request requires two IOs, one for writing data IO and the other for writing metadata IO. The lifetime of Flash is directly related to the number of write times, for example, Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash memory is usually only about 5000-10000 time...
