Description

Storage system and for realizing the method for storage system
Technical field
The present invention relates to computer realm, be specifically related to a kind of storage system and for realizing the method for storage system.
Background technology
Storage system is one of most important parts in computer system.People wish that storage system has at a high speed (high IOPS and high throughput), high reliability and low cost always.
Most of existing servers or personal computer are still used hard disk (HDD) as main storage system.Although the storage system based on HDD has lower cost, the improvement of HDD access latency in recent years lags far behind the improvement of its capacity.The high stand-by period will greatly affect IOPS (input/output operations number per second) value.Especially for the dominant working load of random I/O, data base workload for example, HDD will become performance bottleneck.And for the dominant working load of sequential access, the access performance of HDD is better, for example, current single HDD can obtain the transfer rate up to the continuation of 160MB/s.
Compare with HDD, the solid-state disk (SSD) occurring in recent years has lower random read waiting time (5ms of the 0.03ms of SSD to HDD), the higher IOPS (35000 couples of HDD of SSD 200) that reads.Although originally the capacity of SSD is less, also caught up with gradually in recent years the capacity of HDD.For example, have at present some SSD as the 2TB of high-end product.The energy consumption of SSD is also lower than HDD.Yet SSD has following several shortcoming: the cost of the one, SDD is far above HDD (take current market price as example, the $ 0.6/GB of the $ 10/GB of SSD to HDD).In SSD, controller is extremely expensive.Each unit of the 2nd, SSD only has limited write cycle time, and this can affect its reliability.Although introduced several technology, overcome this problem, they can increase the cost of controller, and reduce IOPS and throughput.The readwrite performance of the 3rd, SSD is asymmetrical.The write latency ratio of SDD is read large 10 times of stand-by period.This is because first write operation must wipe whole (each piece is approximately 0.5-1MB), then legacy data in piece is write to this piece together with new data, and this operation is very slow.
How making storage system have higher readwrite performance, reliability and low cost, is a kind of important problem.Exist at present following several solution.
The one, by HDD, form RAID (RAID array), random read-write is distributed in some HDD, to improve readwrite performance and reliability.But the energy consumption cost of this solution is higher, racks of data centers space hold is larger, and improvement in performance is limited.
The 2nd, utilize lower the reading the stand-by period of SSD, use the part realizing in controller firmware to take that piece merges and abrasion equilibrium algorithm (wear-leveling algorithm) alleviates the negative consequence of writing at random simultaneously, this comprises: with large continuous segment, write data, at backstage assembling section, take piece and free block is carried out to refuse collection, and avoid constantly writing some focus pieces.Yet frequent backstage file system scans identification division to take quite a lot of bandwidth that piece and free block can consume SSD controller.And firmware is difficult to realize complicated garbage collection algorithm, and cost is very high.In addition, single SSD cannot provide high availability, and SSD array is too expensive.
The 3rd, the high-speed cache by SSD for HDD.This scheme does not have high reliability feature, and has the negative consequence of writing, and as limited in write cycle time and write latency is long etc.
The 4th, combination S SD and HDD, and carry out manual data subregion.For example, in GPFS (general parallel file system), by manual assignment by metadata store on SSD, and store data on HDD.This scheme is not only brought very large administrative burden, and cannot realize higher reading and writing data performance and the high availability of data.
Summary of the invention

Memory control device 120, for receiving the storage operation request from upper layer application by file system, is processed storage operation request by disk array 110 is carried out to corresponding operating, and is returned to result to upper layer application.
According to an embodiment of the present, described memory control device 120 is also configured to: in response to entering reading mode, from described solid-state disk 111, read corresponding data; And in response to entering WriteMode, to described solid-state disk 111 and described non-solid-state disk 112, write corresponding data.When memory control device 120 receives and start to process the read request from upper layer application, enter reading mode.In reading mode, memory control device 120 will only read asked data from solid-state disk 111.Because the read access speed of solid-state disk 111 is higher, can meet quickly this read request like this.When memory control device 120 receives and process the write request from upper layer application, enter WriteMode.In WriteMode, the data that memory control device 120 is write request write respectively solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 both.Because memory control device 120 can write data the continuous free block that cleaning pattern produces on non-solid-state disk 112 and the free block producing on solid-state disk 111, so solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 can provide very high write performance.Owing to identical data being write to solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 these two positions, for example, when data that like this, can be in a dish are unavailable fault or the wearing and tearing of dish (, due to), data in another dish are provided, thereby have improved the reliabilty and availability of data.
According to an embodiment of the present, described memory control device 120 is also configured to: after described solid-state disk 111 reads corresponding data, verify the integrality of described corresponding data; In response to described, be verified, to upper layer application, return to described corresponding data; And do not pass through in response to described checking, from described non-solid-state disk 112, read corresponding data, this corresponding data is returned to described solid-state disk 111, and return to this corresponding data to upper layer application.
As known to persons skilled in the art, for example can be by using the check bit of storing together with data to carry out the integrality of verification msg.Reading corresponding data from described non-solid-state disk 112, also can first verify the integrality of these data, if the verification passes, these data are returned to solid-state disk 111, and return to this data to upper layer application; If checking is not passed through, return to mistake.In addition,, if checking is not passed through, also can further this event be charged to daily record, and can give notice, so that keeper adopts remedial measures.
In execution, data are returned to after the operation of solid-state disk 111, also can first judge whether data are successfully returned to solid-state disk 111.If data are successfully returned to solid-state disk 111, to upper layer application, return to this data; Otherwise, return to mistake.In addition, in data, fail return to solid-state disk 111 in the situation that, also can further this event be charged to daily record, and can send notice, so that keeper adopts remedial measures.
According to an embodiment of the present, to non-solid-state disk 112, write corresponding data and comprise: find continuous free block in non-solid-state disk 112, and write corresponding data to continuous free block in non-solid-state disk 112.As known to persons skilled in the art, when writing data in the non-solid-state disks 112 such as HDD, if continuous free block is write data wherein, can save seek time, thereby can improve writing speed, may reach and write to solid-state disk 111 speed that data are suitable, so just making storage system according to an embodiment of the invention not only there is the good performance of reading, and there is good write performance.
According to an embodiment of the present, if do not find enough continuous free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112, can write corresponding data to discontinuous free block in non-solid-state disk 112.Like this, write performance can decrease.Therefore, can be by corresponding event (for example, in non-solid-state disk 112, there is no enough continuous free blocks) charge to daily record or send notice, to adopted remedial measures by memory control device 120 or keeper, for example make memory control device 120 enter hereinafter described cleaning pattern, so that the data in non-solid-state disk 112 are cleared up to form how continuous free block, or shift the data in non-solid-state disk 112, or change non-solid-state disk 112 etc.
Can find in many ways continuous free block in non-solid-state disk 112.For example, can be safeguarded by memory control device 120 record of whole free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112.Whenever to non-solid-state disk 112 data writings or while deleting the data in non-solid-state disk 112, this record of corresponding renewal, makes this record record all the time the whole free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112; In addition, when as described below when non-solid-state disk 112 is cleared up in cleaning pattern, also this record of corresponding renewal.Like this, can record to find free block continuous in solid-state disk 111 by inquiring about this.Certainly, also can find by other means continuous free block in non-solid-state disk 112.For example, also can be by directly non-solid-state disk 112 being scanned to find wherein continuous free block.
As known to persons skilled in the art, when writing data in solid-state disk 111, can adopt abrasion equilibrium algorithm.This function normally realizes in the prior art in the controller firmware of solid-state disk 111.And in an embodiment of the present invention, this function is to realize, like this, just saved greatly the firmware cost of solid-state disk 111 in the driver of operating system.
As mentioned above, according to an embodiment of the present, in described cleaning pattern, the non-solid-state disk 112 of memory control device 120 scanning, and move data block wherein, to form how continuous free block.Like this, when writing new data, just more likely find continuous free block, and data are write to continuous free block, rather than data are write to discontinuous free block, thereby improve writing speed.After Mobile data piece, memory control device 120 can the above-mentioned whole free block records of corresponding renewal, to reflect in non-solid-state disk 112, through data block, move the new free block of formation.
According to an embodiment of the present, described memory control device 120 is also configured to: in described cleaning pattern, scan and merge the data block that in described disk array 110, the part in solid-state disk 111 takies, forming how complete free block.That is to say, by the data in the data block that a plurality of parts are taken, merge in one or more, make described one or more to become the data block taking completely, can save how complete free block (as known in the art, because solid-state disk is a kind of random access storage device, to the access time of data and data, the physical location on dish is irrelevant, so free block needs not to be continuous).Like this, when writing data in solid-state disk 111, just more likely directly in complete free block, write data.As known to persons skilled in the art, to complete free block in solid-state disk, write fashionablely, can save the work of reading this piece legacy data, erasable whole data block, thereby greatly improve the performance that solid-state disk writes.In current solid-state disk technology, the function of this assembling section free block realizes in controller firmware, and in one embodiment of this invention, this function is to realize in the driver of operating system, thereby has saved firmware cost.
Can come regulation memory control device 120 how to enter and exit cleaning pattern with multiple strategy.Each strategy has been stipulated the described particular event that enters cleaning pattern for triggering.Only, as example, the first strategy can be stipulated, when not receiving read request and write request in schedule time threshold value T, to enter cleaning pattern; When the ratio that continuous free block accounts for all free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112 surpasses predetermined ratio threshold value C, or when receiving read request or write request, can exit cleaning pattern.
The second strategy can be stipulated, when Disk bandwidth utilization rate is during lower than predetermined utilization rate threshold value BW, to enter cleaning pattern; And when Disk bandwidth utilization rate is during higher than predetermined utilization rate threshold value BW, or the ratio that continuous free block accounts for all free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112 is while surpassing predetermined ratio threshold value C, can exit cleaning pattern.
The third strategy can be stipulated in memory control device 120 when receiving length from the read request on upper strata and the request queue of write request and be less than predetermined length threshold value QL, to enter cleaning pattern; And when the length of request queue is during higher than predetermined threshold QL, or the ratio that continuous free block accounts for all free blocks in non-solid-state disk 112 is while surpassing predetermined ratio threshold value C, can exit cleaning pattern.
In addition, also can enter cleaning pattern by the manual order of keeper, or in non-solid-state disk 112, there is no the notice of enough continuous free blocks and enter cleaning pattern in response to receiving.Certainly, can in each strategy, further stipulate to only have and when non-solid-state disk 112, check and regulate the ratio that free block continuous in row 110 accounts for all free blocks and when (it can be less than or equal to above-mentioned predetermined ratio threshold value C), just enter cleaning pattern lower than a predetermined ratio threshold value D; And the ratio that continuous free block occupies institute's free block in non-solid-state disk 112 is while being equal to or greater than predetermined ratio threshold value D, does not enter and knows pattern.Or, memory control device 120 enters after the particular event of knowing pattern in the triggering that receives specified specific policy regulation, further judge that whether ratio that in non-solid-state disk 112, continuous free block accounts for all free blocks is lower than predetermined ratio threshold value D, and only have when this is judged as YES, just enter cleaning pattern, and when this is judged as NO, abandon entering cleaning pattern.Whether memory control device 120 can be by inquiring about ratio that the record of all free blocks in above-mentioned non-solid-state disk 112 judges that in non-solid-state disk 112, continuous free block accounts for all free blocks lower than predetermined ratio threshold value.In addition, can also set a priority scheduling strategy, regulation is less than the read request that produced by upper layer application and the priority Q of write request by the priority P of clearing up the I/O request of mode producing, and dispatched according to priority by memory control device 120, like this, just can guarantee that the I/O that cleaning pattern is produced asks can not disturb the operation of application.
Above strategy is only example, rather than limitation of the present invention.In some embodiments of the invention, can adopt other strategies to stipulate how to enter and exit cleaning pattern.
According to an embodiment of the present, this memory control device 120 can (for example file system or operating system) provide a policy definition interface to upper strata, keeper can specify for entering and exit the strategy of cleaning pattern by this interface, and sets the required parameters such as threshold value of this strategy.Can be for different upper layer application specific, specify different strategies, and set different parameters.
For example, access Web server frequently for one, its average read-write was spaced apart for 1 second, and CPU is 200MBPS to the bandwidth of disk, can specify above-mentioned the first strategy, and sets T=0.5 second.That is to say, if while there is no read and write access in 0.5 second, enter cleaning pattern.Or, can specify above-mentioned the second strategy, and set BW=50MBPS.That is to say, when Disk bandwidth is used lower than 50MBPS, enter cleaning pattern.If current bandwidth is used higher than 50MBPS, exit cleaning pattern.Or, can specify above-mentioned the third strategy, and set QL=100.That is to say, the queue length of only having the request being produced by upper layer application in driver lower than 100 time, just enters cleaning pattern.Once queue length surpasses 100, exits cleaning pattern.In addition, can also specify above-mentioned priority scheduling strategy, and the priority of setting the I/O request of cleaning mode producing is 5, the priority of the I/O request that upper layer application produces is 15.Like this, the scheduling feature in memory control device 120 just can guarantee that the request of clearing up mode producing can not disturb the operation of application.In addition, also can set above-mentioned for exiting the predetermined ratio threshold value C=25% of cleaning pattern.That is to say, the continuous space that can use when system surpass free space 25% time, just can exit cleaning pattern.By specifying and setting as mentioned above strategy, can optimize for the frequent access of Web server and for example, for the read-write of small documents (the various little picture on webpage).
Again for example, for the file server of Yi Ge enterprise, its average read-write is spaced apart 20 seconds, can specify above-mentioned the first strategy, and sets T=10 second.That is to say, if while there is no read and write access in 10 seconds, enter cleaning pattern.Or, can specify above-mentioned the second strategy 2, and set BW=20MBPS.That is to say to only have when Disk bandwidth is used lower than 20MBPS, enter cleaning pattern.If current utilized bandwidth, higher than 20MBPS, exits cleaning pattern.Or, can specify above-mentioned the third strategy, and set QL=200, that is to say, the queue length of only having the request being produced by upper layer application in driver lower than 200 time, just enters cleaning pattern, once queue length surpasses 200, exits cleaning pattern.In addition, can also set above-mentioned priority scheduling strategy, and appointment is 8 by the priority of clearing up the I/O request of mode producing, the priority of the I/O request that upper layer application produces is 15, like this, the scheduling feature in memory control device 120 just can guarantee that the I/O that clears up mode producing asks can not disturb the operation of application.In addition, can also set above-mentioned for exiting the predetermined ratio threshold value C=50% of cleaning pattern.That is to say, the continuous space that can use when system surpass free space 50% time, just can exit cleaning pattern; Lower than 50% time, will proceed disk scanning, calculating and data block and move, so that available space reaches the more than 50% of free space continuously.By specifying and setting strategy as mentioned above, can optimize for file server access frequency compared with low and each large numbers of read-writes (such as hundreds of million, or even the file of several GB sizes is uploaded).
According to an embodiment of the present, described memory control device 120 is also configured to: in described cleaning pattern, judge whether to receive the particular event that cleaning pattern is exited in triggering, this particular event can be the particular event that cleaning pattern is exited in above described various tactful triggering of stipulating, the ratio that for example in non-solid-state disk, continuous free block accounts for all free blocks surpasses predetermined ratio threshold value C, etc.; And if described in be judged as NO, continue the cleaning operation to non-solid-state disk 112 and solid-state disk 111 as mentioned above; And if this is judged as YES, exit cleaning pattern.
More than described storage system according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein, memory control device 120 is write data to solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 in both in WriteMode; And memory control device 120 in reading mode only from solid-state disk 111 reading out datas.Yet this is not limitation of the present invention.In other embodiments of the invention, can not that the data of all write requests are write to solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 in both, but only the data with the write request that high availability requires are write to solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 in both, and the data without the write request that high availability requires are only write in non-solid-state disk 112; In addition, though can also after this will not have high availability to require the data that are accessed frequently to transfer to solid-state disk 111 from non-solid-state disk 112 in cleaning pattern.By this way, not only guarantee discriminatively high reliability and the high availability of the data of application-specific, and guaranteed discriminatively the data access speed of application-specific.
Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, described memory control device 120 is configured to: in response to the read request that starts to process to a file, judge in solid-state disk 111, whether there is this document; In response to having this document in judgement solid-state disk 111, from solid-state disk 111, read this document; In response to not having this document in judgement solid-state disk 111, from non-solid-state disk 112, read this document; In response to starting, process the write request to a new file, judge whether this new file has high availability requirement; In response to this new file of judgement, there is high availability requirement, in solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112, write new this document; And do not there is high availability requirement in response to this new file of judgement, only in non-solid-state disk 112, write this new file.Certainly, according to further embodiment of the present invention, described memory control device 120 also can be configured to: in response to judgement solid-state disk 111, have described file, and from solid-state disk 111, read after described file, can verify the integrality of described file data; In response to described, be verified, to upper layer application, return to described corresponding data; And do not pass through in response to described checking, from described non-solid-state disk 112, read described file, and return to this corresponding data to upper layer application
According to a further embodiment of the invention, described memory control device 120 is also configured to: in response to read a file from solid-state disk 111 or non-solid-state disk 112, upgrade the access frequency of this document; In cleaning pattern, in response to the access frequency that judges a file, higher than predetermined threshold, this document exists only in non-solid-state disk 112, and in solid-state disk 111, has enough free spaces, and described file is transferred in solid-state disk 111 from non-solid-state disk 112; And in cleaning pattern, in response to the access frequency of judgement one file, lower than predetermined threshold, and this document exists only in solid-state disk 111, and described file is transferred to non-solid-state disk 112 from solid-state disk 111.
Certainly, in these embodiment of the present invention, memory control device 120 is also configured to the operations of the data block for the non-solid-state disk of integral body and solid-state disk in the cleaning pattern as described above of carrying out.
The storage array of take above comprises that a solid-state disk 111 and non-solid-state disk 112 described storage system according to an embodiment of the invention as example, but this is not limitation of the present invention.
