Problems solved by technology

[0003] When the storage system encounters hard disk failure, disk removal, storage pool full and other lower-level offline situations, it is necessary to replace or expand the hard disk. For the metadata module, more complicated operations are required. If the operation is not done properly, the reliability of the data will be affected. sex and consistency

Abstract

The invention discloses a metadata module which comprises a metadata object module used for managing metadata objects including LUN information and a root Node of a B + tree, and achieving initialization, updating and recovery of a ROOT area data structure; a transaction module which is used for ensuring the atomicity of the request; a write cache module whichis used for caching the request of theI / O service in a memory; a B + tree module which is used for realizing a B + tree operation algorithm of the metadata module; a read cache module which is used for improving the read performance of the metadata module; and aquery module is used for performing query operation. The invention further discloses a metadata module processing method for processing the offline condition of the lower layer of the storage system, the atomicity of metadata requests during offline of the lower layer is ensured, the integrity and consistency of data are ensured, and the reliability of metadata module development is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage systems, in particular to a metadata module and a method for processing the metadata module. Background technique [0002] Under the cluster structure of the all-flash storage system, metadata is the most important part. The performance of the metadata module is improved through read cache and write cache, and the process is very complicated. For general I / O services, it is necessary to manage the mapping relationship between logical addresses and physical addresses; for the garbage collection function, it is necessary to manage the mapping relationship between physical addresses and logical addresses; for supported Chongshan functions, it is necessary to manage the I / O fingerprint value to The mapping relationship of physical addresses. It can be seen that for one I / O service, operations such as management of multiple mapping relationships are required. Therefore, the atomicity of the transaction must be ...
