Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram of the inventive method embodiment.As shown in Figure 1, may further comprise the steps:
Step 11: in disk, preserve an address search table; Preserve all source book addresses in this address search table and roll up the mapping relations between the address with corresponding resource; And, every N continuous mapping relations are divided into an extent_data, N is the positive integer greater than 1.
In this step; Utilize the address search table to preserve all source book addresses and roll up the corresponding relation between the address with corresponding resource; If a source book does not have corresponding resource volume; Promptly do not carry out operations such as Copy on Write, then corresponding resource volume address, this source book address will be illegal value in the address search table.
And, every N in the address search table continuous mapping relations are divided into an extent_data, the concrete value of N can be decided according to the actual requirements, and each extent_data is as a base unit that reads into memory; Distinguishingly, for last extent_data in the address search table, comprising the mapping relations number can be less than N.
Illustrate:
Suppose to comprise altogether in the look-up table of address 11 mapping relations; So, can the 1st~3 mapping relations be divided into an extent_data, the 4th~6 mapping relations are divided into an extent_data; The 7th~9 mapping relations are divided into an extent_data; Like this, will only be left 2 mapping relations, and these 2 mapping relations will be divided into an extent_data get final product.
Step 12: when needs are visited arbitrary mapping relations X (for ease of statement; Represent arbitrary mapping relations with mapping relations X) time; Confirm whether mapping relations X has been cached in the memory pool that is provided with in advance, if not, then the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory pool.
As a rule, each extent_data's is big or small identical, can in internal memory, mark off a memory pool in advance; The big I of memory pool is decided according to the actual requirements, and the size of memory block wherein is big or small identical with extent_data's, promptly distributes the memory block of extent_data size at every turn; Starting stage; Save as sky in the memory pool, follow-up, can be constantly the buffer memory extent_data that comes in.
Specifically, when the user need visit arbitrary mapping relations X, can confirm at first whether mapping relations X has been cached in the memory pool; If; Then carry out subsequent treatment according to existing mode, if not, then the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory pool; The extent_data that is mapping relations X place distributes a untapped memory block, and the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory block that is distributed then.
Because the space in the memory pool is limited, in a certain moment, its space may run out; Therefore, in this step, before the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory pool; Can at first confirm the remaining space extent_data whether enough buffer memory mapping relations X belong in the memory pool; If then the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory pool, if not; Then from memory pool, delete an extent_data of buffer memory, the extent_data with mapping relations X place is cached in the memory pool then.
In practical application; Can adopt least recently used (LRU; Least Recently Used) algorithm is selected an extent_data of buffer memory from memory pool, and deletion, as the last access time is deleted from memory pool apart from current time extent_data farthest.
