Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram that realization is protected cache contents in one embodiment of the invention.Referring to Fig. 2, this process specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step 201:, each veneer is divided into the data partition of one or more physical significances and the backup subregion of one or more physical significances according to the quantity of the shared veneer of Cache.
In the business realizing of reality, the fault such as may be damaged of a veneer in shared each veneer of Cache, all data that cause storing in this veneer can't be read.At this kind situation; in order to protect to all data of storing in each veneer; after making that data in the veneer can't be read; can from other veneers, obtain this data; in this step 201, go out the data partition of physical significance and the backup subregion of physical significance from the angular divisions of veneer.
Step 202:, the complete storage space of this veneer is divided into the data partition of one or more logical meanings and the backup subregion of one or more logical meanings for each shared veneer of Cache.
In the business realizing of reality, a part of Cache space in shared any one veneer of Cache fault such as may be damaged, the data that cause storing in this portion C ache space can't be read, and other partial C ache space is normal in this veneer, can reading of data.At this kind situation; in order to protect to each the portion C ache space in each veneer; after making that the data in a part of Cache space can't be read in the veneer; can from this veneer, obtain this data in other partial C ache space; in this step 202, can go out the data partition of logical meaning and the backup subregion of logical meaning from the angular divisions in veneer Cache space.
Step 203: the corresponding backup subregion of a data subregion is set.
Here, if divided the data partition of physical significance and the backup subregion of physical significance, so, in this step, it is the backup subregion that the corresponding physical significance of data partition of a physical significance is set, that is to say, corresponding one by one between the backup subregion of the data partition of physical significance and physical significance.Such as, referring to Fig. 3, the shared veneer of Cache is that veneer 1, veneer 2.... are up to veneer 6, so, processing by above-mentioned steps 201 and this step 203, then veneer 1, veneer 2 and veneer 3 wherein can be set to the data partition of a physical significance respectively, and, veneer 4, veneer 5 and veneer 6 are set to correspond respectively to the backup subregion of the physical significance of veneer 1, veneer 2 and veneer 3.
Equally, if divided the data partition of logical meaning and the backup subregion of logical meaning, so, in this step, it is the backup subregion that the corresponding logical meaning of data partition of a logical meaning is set, that is to say, corresponding one by one between the backup subregion of the data partition of logical meaning and logical meaning.Such as, referring to Fig. 4, the complete Cache space of the veneer that Cache is shared is 6KB, so, processing by above-mentioned steps 202 and this step 203, the storage unit that then the 6KB storage space of this veneer can be divided into 6 sizes be 1KB, wherein storage unit 1,2 and 3 Cache space are set to the data partition 1,2 and 3 of logical meaning respectively, and storage unit 4,5 and 6 Cache space are set to correspond respectively to the data partition 1,2 of logical meaning and the backup subregion of 3 logical meaning.
Need to prove that above-mentioned steps 201 is to the processing of step 203, can be after cache controller and Cache start, and is carried out by cache controller, i.e. the processing procedure that can be divided and be provided with to the step 203 by cache controller execution in step 201.Perhaps, also can before cache controller and Cache start, carry out in advance by office terminal or other equipment, promptly can by office terminal or other equipment execution in step 201 to the step 203 division and the processing procedure of setting.
Step 204: the data that needs are cached among the Cache are saved in each data partition.
