[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] In the prior art, an IB card is used for data transmission between a client and a server. The IB card is related to the communication quality. For example, in a distributed storage system, the client communicates with the storage system through the IB card to complete data access and storage. However, in a high-performance scenario, a single IB card may not meet the performance requirements. How to ensure the reliability of communication and give full play to the performance of the IB card is an urgent problem to be solved currently. To overcome the above technical problems, this application proposes a communication method that can give full play to the performance of each IB card and ensure the reliability of the communication link between the client and the server.

[0038] An embodiment of this application discloses a communication method. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0039] Step S11: Create a link on each IB card for inter-process communication between the client and the server.

[0040] In this embodiment, first, a link is created on each IB card for inter-process communication between the client and the server. For example, if N IB cards are responsible for data transmission between the client and the server, a communication link is created on each of these N IB cards to obtain N communication links.

[0041] In this embodiment, creating a link on each IB card may include: enabling timed scanning during client mounting to collect IB card information; and creating a link for the inter-process communication on each IB card according to the collected IB card information. That is, during client mounting, the timed scanning function is enabled, relevant IB card information is collected through scanning, and then the client creates a link for supporting inter-process communication on each IB card respectively according to the collected IB card information.

[0042] Step S12: Select a target link from all the links corresponding to the inter-process communication, and set the link state of the target link to the available state, and set the link states of the remaining links to the standby state.

[0043] In this embodiment, after creating a link on each IB card for the inter-process communication, a target link is selected from all the links corresponding to the inter-process communication, and then through link state configuration, the link state of the target link is set to the available state, and the link states of the remaining links are set to the standby state. That is, although multiple communication links are created for the inter-process communication, only one link will be used for actual data transmission. In this embodiment, by configuring the link state, the link state includes the available state (active) and the standby state (standby), and the link with the available state will be automatically selected for data transmission during communication, while the link with the standby state set is considered unavailable to the client.

[0044] Step S13: Undertake the inter-process communication through the target link, and when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, re-select a link from the links in the standby state as the new target link to undertake the inter-process communication.

[0045] In this embodiment, the target link is used to support the above inter-process communication. When the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, that is, when the target link cannot be used normally, to ensure the reliability of communication, a link is re-selected from all the links in the standby state corresponding to the inter-process communication as the new target link, that is, link switching is performed, switching from the original target link to the new target link, and then the new target link is used to undertake the inter-process communication. At this time, the IB card where the selected new target link is located is normal. By creating multiple links, the reliability of communication is ensured, and during a failure, the data can be switched in time to ensure the real-time response of the application program.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, reselecting a link from the links in the standby state as a new target link to undertake the inter-process communication may include: when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, selecting a new target link from all the links in the standby state corresponding to the inter-process communication; modifying the link state of the new target link to the available state, and modifying the link state of the original target link to the standby state, so as to use the new target link to undertake the inter-process communication. That is, the link switching is realized by modifying the link state. Specifically, the link state of the new target link is modified from the standby state to the available state, and the link state of the original target link is modified from the available state to the standby state. Thus, based on the multi-link multi-IB card communication, by software processing, a communication link is created for each IB card to maintain multiple links. At the same time, one of the links is set to the available state, and the remaining links are set to the standby state, giving full play to the performance of the multi-IB card. In case of a failure, the link will be reallocated to a normal IB, improving the reliability of the communication link between the client and the storage server, ensuring the reliability of the client in a failure scenario, and enhancing the product competitiveness of the storage system.

[0047] In this embodiment, after reselecting a link from the links in the standby state as a new target link to undertake the inter-process communication when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, it may further include: periodically detecting the state of the IB card by a timer according to a preset period, and when the IB card failure is recovered, resetting the link state of the target link to the available state, and setting the link state of the new target link to the standby state. By the timer, the state of each IB card is scanned periodically. When the IB card failure is recovered, the corresponding link state is reset to the IB state, that is, the link state of the above target link is modified from the standby state to the available state, and the link state of the above new target link is modified from the available state to the standby state.

[0048] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, a link is created on each IB card for the inter-process communication between the client and the server; a target link is selected from all the links corresponding to the inter-process communication, and the link state of the target link is set to the available state, while the link states of the remaining links are set to the standby state; the inter-process communication is carried out through the target link, and when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, a new target link is re-selected from the links in the standby state to carry out the inter-process communication. It can be seen that a communication link is created on each IB card for the docking between the client and the server, giving full play to the performance of each IB card and realizing multi-IB card communication based on multiple links; by creating a link for the inter-process communication on each IB card and selecting one of the multiple links as the available state and the other links as the standby state, when a failure occurs, through link switching, it is ensured that at least one IB card between the client and the server is working, giving full play to the performance of each IB card while also ensuring the reliability of the communication link between the client and the server and improving the stability of the server.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application discloses a specific communication method. Refer to Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0050] Step S21: On each IB card, create a link for each inter-process communication between the client and the server respectively.

[0051] Step S22: Using a consistency algorithm, select a target link for each inter-process communication according to all the links corresponding to different inter-process communications respectively, and set the link state of the target link to the available state, while the link states of the remaining links are set to the standby state.

[0052] That is, when there are multiple processes between the client and the server that need to exchange data, each inter-process communication corresponds to a link in the available state. Taking M inter-process communications and N IB cards as an example, each IB card has created links corresponding to each inter-process communication, that is, M links are created on each IB card, and these M links are respectively the links corresponding to M inter-process communications. In order to prevent all the target links (i.e., the links in the available state) used by the inter-process communications from being on the same IB card or some IB cards, in this embodiment, a consistency algorithm is adopted to balance the target links corresponding to different inter-process communications on different IB cards, so that each inter-process communication corresponds to at least one link with the link state being the available state, and the links with the link state being the available state corresponding to different inter-process communications are evenly distributed on different IB cards.

[0053] That is to say, when there are multiple processes between the client and the server that need to exchange data, according to the consistency algorithm, one link is selected and set to the available state, and the other links are set to the standby state. During normal communication, the links in the available state are balanced to different IB cards, so that the communication of some processes is placed on one card, and the communication of some other data is placed on another card. Each IB card has data traffic and is basically balanced. In this way, the performance of each IB card can be fully utilized.

[0054] It can be seen that for each IB card used by the client, a link is created. In this way, for multiple IB cards, multiple links will be created, and one of the links is set to the available state, and the remaining links are set to the standby state. At the same time, using the consistency algorithm, all available links between the client and the server are balanced to different IB cards. Under normal circumstances, each IB card has data traffic and is basically balanced.

[0055] Step S23: Receive the inter-process communication through the target link, and when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, re-select a link from the links in the standby state as the new target link to receive the inter-process communication.

[0056] It can be understood that in actual operation, each link can communicate. Under normal circumstances, one of the links is selected for communication through the consistency algorithm, and the other links are in the standby state. In a failure scenario, some of the links in the standby state will become available. After the failure scenario is restored, the available links are re-balanced to different IB cards through the consistency algorithm. In this way, it not only ensures that all IB cards are used for communication under normal circumstances, but also ensures the reliability of the client communication link in a failure scenario.

[0057] In this embodiment, the step of re-selecting a link from the links in the standby state as the new target link to receive the inter-process communication may include: using the consistency algorithm to select a corresponding replacement link for each target link in the available state on the failed IB card from all the links in the standby state corresponding to the respective inter-process communications, and using the replacement link as the new target link to receive the corresponding inter-process communication. That is, when initially selecting the target link, the target link for data transmission is balanced on different IB cards according to the consistency algorithm. When an IB card fails and the link needs to be switched to ensure communication reliability, in order to still maintain the balance of the transmission pressure on different IB cards, the consistency algorithm is used again to select the replacement link.

[0058] Among them, the specific process of the above step S23 can refer to the corresponding content disclosed in the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0059] As can be seen from the above, in each IB card of this embodiment, a link is created for each inter-process communication between the client and the server; using a consistency algorithm, a target link is selected for each inter-process communication according to all the links corresponding to different inter-process communications, and the link state of the target link is set to the available state, and the link states of the remaining links are set to the standby state, so that each inter-process communication corresponds to at least one link with an available link state, and the links with an available link state corresponding to different inter-process communications are evenly distributed on different IB cards. Thus, by creating a communication link for each IB card and configuring the link state, the link with the available state is the one in use, and the link with the standby state is the standby link. At the same time, the available state links are balanced to different IB cards, ensuring that each IB card can exert its respective performance. In a failure scenario, the reliability of the communication link is also ensured through link state switching, improving the stability of the storage system.

[0060] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also discloses a communication device, as shown in Figure 3 shown, the device includes:

[0061] A link creation module 11, configured to create a link on each IB card for the inter-process communication between the client and the server;

[0064] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, a link is created on each IB card for the inter-process communication between the client and the server; a target link is selected from all the links corresponding to the inter-process communication, and the link state of the target link is set to the available state, while the link states of the remaining links are set to the standby state; the inter-process communication is carried by the target link, and when the IB card corresponding to the target link fails, a new target link is reselected from the links in the standby state to carry the inter-process communication. It can be seen that a communication link is created on each IB card for the docking between the client and the server, giving full play to the performance of each IB card and realizing multi-IB card communication based on multiple links; by creating a link for the inter-process communication on each IB card and selecting one of the multiple links as the available state and the other links as the standby state, and switching the links when a failure occurs, it is ensured that at least one IB card is working between the client and the server.
