Description

LBA full caching method and system based on additional writing distributed storage

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computer storage, in particular to the technical field of distributed storage; and more particularly, to a LBA full cache method and system based on additional write distributed storage.

Background

The distributed shared storage refers to a large-scale shared storage system formed by connecting heterogeneous devices together by utilizing network communication based on a distributed algorithm. In distributed shared storage, a mass storage system is shared by multiple storage devices, each of which maintains its own LBA (Logical Block Address) in the mass storage system. Logical block addresses (Logical Block Address, LBAs) are a common mechanism for describing the blocks of data on a computer storage device, and are typically used in auxiliary memory devices such as hard disks. The LBA may mean an address of a certain data block or a data block to which a certain address points.

In a distributed shared memory system, each user's shared memory device has a separate addressing space for addressing the physical location of the shared device logical block data in the distributed memory, typically by dividing the shared device address space into fixed length units, each unit resembling a page in a kernel page table, called a virtual block. Accordingly, a physical hard disk can be considered as a fixed-length unit, each unit being a physical chunk. In order to record where virtual blocks map to physical chunk, the shared storage system needs to maintain an addressing data structure. The main purpose of the addressing data structure is to preserve virtual block to physical block address translations so that shared memory can find the actual physical storage location of the data. The addressing data structure is described in the distributed shared memory system as: lba value. lba is a number that describes logically contiguous, fixed-length blocks of data using monotonically increasing sequence numbers, value is the physical memory address of the logically contiguous, fixed-length blocks of data, typically: chunk_id, chunk_offset. In a distributed shared storage system, LBA logical addressing mappings are typically stored as KV in a database.

To improve the access performance of the LBA addressing mapping relationship, the following manner of organizing LBAs is generally adopted: LBA variable length storage, or LBA fixed length storage. In two storage modes, in order to improve LBA access performance, LBA information is typically cached in a memory, where a data structure of the cache memory generally adopts a linked list structure and a tree structure elimination algorithm, for example, LRU, LFU, and the like. The algorithm for caching LBAs specifically is generally as follows:

the cache content is as follows:

Key＝LBA,

Value＝{physical_chunk,physical_chunk_offset}

Left＝left_point

Right＝right_point

wherein value contains physical location information of LBA logical block, left/right contains left and right pointers of data structure.

The query writing algorithm is described as:

1. and using the LBA as a key, and finding out a corresponding value in the memory. The temporal complexity of the query is related to the choice of data structure.

2. And copying the value, and updating or further inquiring.

3. And performing trim operation of the cache data according to the overall occupation condition of the memory.

However, due to the selection of the data structure, the amount of data in the LBA memory cache may consume a portion of the memory space to maintain the data structure in addition to the valid data. Secondly, the storage space consumed by the physical location information of the LBA logic block in the memory is related to the cluster addressing space, which is usually quite large, so that the traditional LBA caching algorithm cannot cache all LBA information, and the cache elimination algorithm is usually adopted, thus being unfavorable for the integrity and reliability of data caching.

Therefore, there is a need to design a LBA full cache method, system and electronic device based on additional writing distributed storage, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems and pain problems in the prior art.

Embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below.

The embodiment of the invention provides an LBA full caching method based on additional writing distributed storage, which is shown in FIG. 6 and comprises the following steps:

s1, decomposing a shared block storage addressing space applied by a user into a plurality of blocks according to a fixed size, hashing the blocks into a storage cluster, and defining each block as a region; splitting the addressing space of each region into a plurality of logic blocks according to a fixed size;

s2, defining a data structure of the addressing space of the region in the full cache as a linear table of a kernel page table structure, wherein each sub-item of the linear table corresponds to the addressing structure of each logic block;

the linear table of region is created as a multi-level storage structure in which an upper level stores addresses of lower levels and state information.

The block number offset of the logic block is the subscript of the linear table, and the subscript of the linear table is utilized when addressing inquiry is initiated to the region, so that the block number offset of the logic block is not stored in the reign.

The structure of the region's linear table is described as:

region_x＝[lg1,lg2,lg3,……,lgn]

wherein region_x represents any one region after hashing, and lg represents an addressing structure of a logic block;

since region_x is a linear table structure that contains a plurality of logical blocks, the logical block addressing structure in a region need only be queried and accessed using the block number of a logical block as the index of the linear table, without storing the logical block number as the addressing key.

In this embodiment, the multi-level storage structure of the region linear table is 2 levels, and the lba_table includes a direction_table and a lower leaf linear table item_table;

each element in the directory_table points to a leaf linear table, and each element contains state information of the leaf linear table pointed by redundant bit field identifiers; when no element is written in the leaf linear table, the leaf linear table does not allocate memory.

The leaf linear table comprises a plurality of item elements, and each leaf linear table has a fixed length; the item_table contains information for addressing physical chunk; the chunk_table contains all chunk_ids referenced by this region; in the item_table, the index idx points to the chunk_id belonging to the LBA write in the chunk_table.

S3, storing an item of an addressing structure to address an index of a physical chunk in a chunk table, and reducing the range of an LBA addressing space by utilizing the physical address of a content addressing LBA identified by the item after the LBA is addressed to the item;

in the embodiment, the item of the addressing structure of the logic block is not directly stored in the chunk, but the index of the chunk in the chunk table is stored, and after the LBA is addressed to the item, the physical address of the content addressing LBA identified by the item is utilized to save the storage space and reduce the range of the LBA addressing space;

s4, when the LBA addressing is subjected to one-time overwriting, the original pointed position of the chunk is an idle position, and when the data of one physical chunk is overwritten by the LBA or is integrated and removed, the mark of the chunk in the chunk_table linear table is the idle position; the free location stores the new chunk address when writing the new chunk: chunk_id;

the LBA full cache chunk_table is a reusable linear table; when all the data of one chunk address is moved away, the chunk address is marked as an idle position in the chunk_table linear table, and the idle position is used for storing a new chunk_id when the new chunk address is written in;

s5, based on the characteristic of cluster additional writing, when one chunk is full, updating a new chunk to write, searching available free positions in a chunk_table linear table, and storing the new chunk_id;

when partial data in the chunk is covered to release free space, the chunk is integrated, so that a plurality of lba item items continuously point to one chunk_id in the chunk_table, and the total size of the chunk_table linear table does not exceed a threshold value.

In a region's linear table, unwritten portions will not reallocate memory storage space.

The embodiment of the invention also provides an LBA full cache system based on the additional write distributed storage, which executes the LBA full cache method based on the additional write distributed storage, and is characterized by being deployed in a distributed shared storage cluster.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an LBA full cache device based on the append write distributed storage, which carries the LBA full cache system based on the append write distributed storage as described above.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the system device with LBA full cache may also be a stand alone device. The device is responsible for caching the LBA address information which is already allocated by all system devices in the distributed shared storage cluster. When the shared device starts to use the distributed shared storage cluster, its LBA addressing information will be cached in the device cluster with LBA full cache. When the sharing device reads and writes, firstly, according to the written LBA range, calculating which device of the device cluster with the LBA full cache the LBA is cached in, reading the LBA physical position information from the device, and then interacting with the cluster system device through the physical position information. In a distributed shared storage cluster, all chunks in the cluster are allocated by a centralized chunk allocation manager.

Application example

First, the shared block storage addressing space applied by the user is hashed into the storage cluster according to a fixed size, and each hashed block is defined as a region. The addressing space of each region is divided into logic blocks according to a fixed size, the data structure of the addressing space of the region in the full cache is defined as a linear table, and each sub-item of the linear table is the addressing structure of the logic block. When addressing a region, the number of blocks (offset) of the logical block is the index of the linear table, so in a reign, the number of blocks (offset) of the logical block is not stored.

The structure of the region linear table is described as:

region_x＝[lg1,lg2,lg3,……,lgn]

where region_x represents any one region after hashing and lg represents the addressing structure of the logical block. Since region_x is a linear table structure that contains a plurality of logical blocks, the logical block addressing structure in a region need only be queried and accessed using the block number of a logical block as the index of the linear table, without storing the logical block number as the addressing key.

Second, like the kernel page table structure, the region linear table is a multi-level memory structure, and the sub-tables of each level are linear tables, so that the unwritten portions of the region linear table will not reallocate memory storage space.

The multi-level memory structure of the region linear table may be 2 levels, or more. In the multi-level memory structure, an upper level is used to store information such as addresses, states, and the like of lower levels.

For example, in a 2-level storage structure, the uppermost storage structure is defined as:

directory_table＝[dir_item_1,dir_item_2,……，dir_item_n]

wherein, each item of the directory_table is a directory entry, each item may be a structure dir_item, and dir_item may be defined as:

Struct{

item_table*item_table；

}

the item_table is a pointer of a segment consisting of logic blocks in the region, and when the item_table is written, the item_table is a null pointer, namely memory space allocation cannot occur.

lba is the size of the offset addressed in a region that is aligned to the left of the region logical block, i.e., the number of blocks the offset maps to the region logical block. When a region is addressed by a multi-level linear table, lba addresses the entry of the corresponding logical block, a recursive addressing process from the root node to the leaf node of the multi-level linear table.

An lba, region multi-level linear table addressing algorithm at each level of linear table is defined as:

idx＝(lba&mask)>>shift

item＝item_table[idx]

wherein mask is the mask of each stage in the region multi-stage linear table, shift is the number of bits of all the linear table masks of the lower stage. When the index address of a lba in a level linear table item_table is calculated, the index address idx can be used to directly fetch the next level of table information from the item_table (when the item_table is the last-last level, the fetched item is a leaf node, that is, the addressed item of a lba).

Again, after the lba addresses the item, the item addresses the physical address of the lba with the content identified by the item, in order to save storage space, the item does not directly store the physical chunk, but stores the index of the physical chunk in the chunk table, thereby reducing the scope of the lba addressing space.

The physical chunk is a storage space distributed on a certain physical machine and a certain physical disk in the distributed shared storage, and one chunk can be a continuous physical storage space on the physical disk or a logical continuous space. In a distributed shared storage system, as the cluster size increases, it can be appreciated that the number of chunks increases linearly. The addressing space for the cluster count is large, and the addressing space for the cluster_id is generally identified by the uint64.

An lba to physical chunk address is defined as:

key:lba

value:{chunk_id,chunk_offset}

in a region multi-level linear table, the number of chunk that can be referenced is limited, so another chunk_table is abstracted for reducing the addressing space of the region multi-level linear table lba.

The chunk_table of a region multi-level linear table is defined as:

chunk_table＝[chunk_id_1,chunk_id_70,chunk_id_500,……,chunk_id_N]

in the chunk_table, each item is a chunk_id number in the distributed shared storage, which is defined as the uint64.

A region multistage linear table comprises a chunk_table, and a lba leaf item of the region multistage linear table stores the following contents:

item:

{ck_idx；

chunk_lba；

}

wherein ck_idx is the index number of the address chunk_id in the chunk_table, and chunk_lba is the block of the physical chunk, and chunk_offset is not directly stored, so that the memory usage can be reduced.

The addressing algorithm to address the chunk is defined as:

chunk_id＝chunk_table[item.ck_idx]

chunk_offset＝item.chunk_lba*logical_block_size

the logical_block_size is the size of one logical block in the region.

Referring to fig. 1, a two-level region full memory cache structure is shown in the above figure, where the lba_table includes a directory_table, and lower leaf linear tables, where each element in the directory_table points to a leaf linear table. And there may be redundant bit fields to identify the state information of the leaf linear table to which it points, the leaf linear table not allocating memory when no element is written in the leaf linear table. One leaf linear table contains a plurality of item elements, each leaf linear table being fixed in length. The item_table contains information for addressing the physical chunk. The chunk_table contains all chunk ids referenced by this region. In the item_table, idx points to the chunkid belonging to the lba write in the chunktable.

The capacity of a chunk should be an integer multiple of the region minimum logical block (block size of lba), and when the capacity of a chunk is an integer multiple of the region minimum logical block, multiple item entries in the item_table point to one chunk in the chunk_table at the same time. Therefore, the capacity of the chunk_table can be significantly reduced. Based on the characteristic of cluster additional writing, when a region is full of a chunk, the chunk is replaced.

Finally, the lba full cache chunk_table is a reusable linear table. When the lba is subjected to one-time overwriting, the original pointed position of the chunk is an idle position. When all data of a chunk is moved, the chunk can be marked as an idle position in the chunk_table linear table, and the idle position is used for storing a new chunk_id when writing the new chunk.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the present application for reading and writing a region LBA full cache.

Based on the characteristic of cluster additional writing, when one chunk is full, a new chunk is replaced for writing, and when the new chunk is replaced, an available free position is searched in the chunk_table linear table, and a new chunk_id is stored. Or when there is partial data in the chunk, the system will integrate the chunk as there is an overwrite freeing free space, so that a considerable number of lba item continue to point to one chunk_id in the chunk_table. Thus, the total size of the chunk_table linear table can be ensured not to exceed a threshold value.

As shown in FIG. 2, the timer can find out which slots are free in the chunk_table linear table in advance, and can store a new chunk_id. the timer also has the function of garbage collection, and can clear the chunk_id without reference relation in the chunk_table, and the chunk_id is identified as an available slot.

When the update key is:

1. chunk_table update: the method is to search the writable slot (idx) of the chunk_table by updating the carried chunk_id, wherein the slot searching mode is as follows

a) Whether the chunk_id is equal to the active of the region or not, if so, the chunk_id is indicated as the additional write of chunk, and the chunk_table is returned directly without updating.

b) The chunk_id is not equal to the active of the region, which means that the region replaces chunk writing, a slot chunk_id_idx is fetched from the collection queue of the timer to update, the active of the region is modified to the current chunk, and the slot of the chunk: idx.

2. Addressing the lba table with lba, finding the location of the lba corresponding item, updating the chunk_lba, and the slot of chunk id: idx.

For example: when writing lba 3, { chunk_id:1, chunk_off:20 }:

(1) Whether the active chunk_id is 1 or not is determined, and if the active chunk_id is 1, whether chunk is not replaced or the chunk_id is additionally written to 1 is described, and the chunk_table does not need to be updated.

(2) Addressing in the lba table by using the lba addressing to find the item corresponding to the lba. And updating the chunk_lba and chunk_idx.
