Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a data processing method on a multi-control storage system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method is applied to a controller in the multi-control storage system, and the method includes:
step 101, receiving a disk refreshing instruction, and determining a target fingerprint corresponding to target cache data based on the disk refreshing instruction;
in this embodiment, each controller in the multi-control storage system is connected to the same hard disk, and can store data into the hard disk, and each controller is provided with a write cache, which can be used for caching the written data. However, since the space of the write cache is limited, the write cache of each controller needs to be flushed according to the flushing condition, and the data in the write cache is written into the hard disk, so that a part of the storage space in the write cache is released, and when a data write instruction is subsequently received, sufficient cache space in the write cache is used for data writing.
The multi-control storage system can divide write cache spaces of a plurality of controllers into a plurality of logical storage blocks LUN, each logical storage block can contain write cache spaces in a plurality of controllers, and the write cache space of one controller can also divide a plurality of logical storage blocks. When the system background determines that the write cache space of the logical storage block to which the controller belongs meets the condition of disk flushing, for example, the remaining storage space is lower than a threshold value, or the written data amount is greater than the remaining storage space, and the like, it may be determined that the controller flushes the write cache space of the logical storage block, so that the controller may receive a disk flushing instruction, where the disk flushing instruction may include a size of a storage space that indicates that the write cache of the logical storage block needs to be released. After receiving a disk-refreshing instruction sent by a background, the controller can release the size of the storage space based on the requirement in the disk-refreshing instruction, and then determine the address of the write cache to be refreshed from the local write cache according to a preset disk-refreshing strategy.
In an embodiment, after the controller acquires the write cache address of the disk to be flushed in the disk flushing instruction, the controller may acquire a fingerprint corresponding to the write cache address of the disk to be flushed based on a locally recorded correspondence between the storage controller, the write cache address of the storage controller, and the fingerprint, and determine the fingerprint as a target fingerprint corresponding to target cache data.
102, acquiring a target storage controller and a target write cache address corresponding to a target fingerprint based on a locally recorded storage controller, the write cache address of the storage controller and the corresponding relation of the fingerprint;
in one embodiment, the method for establishing the correspondence between the storage controller, the write cache address of the storage controller, and the fingerprint specifically includes:
firstly, when a controller receives a data writing instruction, data to be written in the data writing instruction is obtained, and fingerprints of the data to be written are calculated. The fingerprint of the cached data, i.e., the digest of the cached data, is used to uniquely identify the cached data. The fingerprint of the cached data can be calculated by algorithms such as HASH, MD5, etc., and other algorithms with similar functions can also be used, which is not limited herein.
Secondly, after calculating the fingerprint of the data to be written, the controller can determine a target mirror image controller corresponding to the fingerprint of the data to be written according to a preset data storage rule; and mirroring the data to be written into the target mirroring controller for caching.
The specific method for determining the target storage controller and the target mirror image controller by the controller according to the preset data storage rule comprises the following steps: the controller performs remainder on the fingerprints of the data to be written according to the number of the controllers in the multi-control storage system to obtain a remainder N, and the Nth controller is used as a target storage controller of the fingerprints of the data to be written; and according to the number of the controllers in the multi-control storage system, the fingerprints of the data to be written are subjected to remainder taking to obtain a remainder N, and the (N + 1) th controller is used as a target mirror image controller of the fingerprints of the data to be written.
Then, after the controller determines a target storage controller and a target mirror image controller corresponding to the fingerprint of the data to be written, the data to be written can be further sent to the target storage controller for caching; and then receiving a first write cache address fed back by the target storage controller aiming at the data to be written, and establishing a corresponding relation among the target storage controller, the first write cache address and the fingerprint of the data to be written. And mirroring the data to be written into the target mirroring controller for caching, then receiving a second write cache address fed back by the target mirroring controller for the data to be written, and establishing a corresponding relation among the target mirroring controller, the second write cache address and the fingerprint of the data to be written.
By way of example, assume that the multi-control storage system includes four controllers, controller 1, controller 2, controller 3, and controller 4. When the controller 1 receives a data write command, it calculates that the fingerprint of the data to be written is 2, and then divides the fingerprint by 4 to obtain the remainder 2, and the target storage controller should be the controller 2 and the target mirror controller should be the controller 3. The controller 1 can thus store the data to be written to the controller 2 and mirror the data to be written to the controller 3. The controller 2, the controller 3, and the controller 4 write the data into their own write buffers, and feed back corresponding write buffer addresses, address 2, address 3, and address 4, to the controller 1, respectively, so that the correspondence between the target memory controller, the target mirror controller, and the write buffer addresses and fingerprints generated in the controller 1 is as shown in table 1 below.

And 103, when the controller is not a target storage controller, sending control information carrying the target fingerprint and the target write cache address to the target storage controller, so that the target storage controller obtains corresponding target cache data in a local write cache according to the control information, and performing flash processing on the target cache data.
In this embodiment, after the controller determines the target storage controller through calculation, it may be further determined whether the controller is the target storage controller corresponding to the target fingerprint. When the controller is not a target storage controller, sending control information carrying the target fingerprint and the target write cache address to the target storage controller, so that the target storage controller obtains corresponding target cache data in a local write cache according to the control information, and performing flash processing on the target cache data.
In an embodiment, when the target storage controller receives the control information, it may determine whether the target fingerprint is recorded locally, and if so, perform data deduplication according to a set deduplication policy based on target cache data corresponding to the target write cache address; if not, storing the target cache data in a hard disk, and recording the target fingerprint in a deduplication fingerprint library.
The deduplication strategy may include lossy deduplication and lossless deduplication, and may be set according to actual application requirements. When the controller is a target storage controller, data deduplication can be performed according to a set deduplication strategy based on the target cache data, and a specific deduplication process is not a focus of the application and can be processed by referring to an existing deduplication process; if not, the target cache data is not stored in the hard disk, so that the target cache data can be stored in the hard disk, and the target fingerprint is recorded in the deduplication fingerprint library.
As an embodiment, when the controller is a target storage controller, determining whether the target fingerprint exists in a local deduplication fingerprint library; if so, acquiring target cache data corresponding to the target fingerprint, and performing data deduplication based on a set deduplication strategy; if not, acquiring target cache data corresponding to the target fingerprint, storing the target cache data in a hard disk, and recording the target fingerprint in the re-deleted fingerprint library.
According to the method and the device, the target storage controller and the target mirror image controller corresponding to the data can be determined according to the fingerprint of the data, and the corresponding relation of the writing cache addresses of the data in the fingerprint, the target storage controller, the target mirror image controller and the data in the fingerprint and the target storage controller can be recorded, so that the target fingerprint and the target writing cache address corresponding to the disk refreshing instruction can be determined based on the target fingerprint corresponding to the disk refreshing instruction, the target storage controller corresponding to the target cache data is sent to the target storage controller to which the fingerprint belongs, the target storage controller obtains the target cache data of the local cache according to the target writing cache address so as to execute disk refreshing operation, the target cache data does not need to be transmitted between the controllers, and bandwidth resource competition with the mirror image data is avoided.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of another data processing method applied to a controller in a multi-control storage system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method includes:
step 201, receiving control information which is sent to a controller and comprises a target fingerprint corresponding to a disk refreshing instruction and a target write cache address when other controllers connected with the same hard disk in the multi-control storage system are determining that the controller is a target storage controller where the target fingerprint corresponding to the disk refreshing instruction is located;
in this embodiment, the controller may receive control information including the target fingerprint and the target write cache address, where the control information is sent to the controller by another controller in the multi-control storage system that is connected to the same hard disk as the controller when the controller is determined not to be the target storage controller.
Step 202, obtaining corresponding target cache data in a local write cache according to the control information, and performing flash processing on the target cache data.
In this embodiment, the controller may obtain corresponding target data in a local write cache according to the control information, and perform a disk-flushing process on the target data. Specifically, the controller may obtain target cache data in a write cache of the controller according to the target write cache address; judging whether the target fingerprint is in a local duplicate fingerprint database; if so, performing data deduplication processing according to a set deduplication strategy based on the target cache data; if not, storing the target cache data in a hard disk, and recording the target fingerprint in the re-deleted fingerprint database.
Because the controller of this application only sends control information to the target storage controller to make the target storage controller obtain corresponding target data according to control information, and prior art need transmit the required target data of brush dish between the controller, compare in prior art, need not to transmit the data that are used for brushing the dish between the controller of this application, thereby transmission bandwidth when this application can avoid occupying mirror image data improves the treatment effeciency of write-in data.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to fig. 3 and 4.
Referring to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a system structure in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, for example, the multi-control storage system 30 includes 4 controllers, i.e., a controller 1, a controller 2, a controller 3, and a controller 4, where the structure of each controller is the same, and the system structure includes: the system comprises a front-end IO receiving module, a write cache (cache) module and a rear-end IO sending module. Each controller is connected with the same hard disk, and can access all resources of the hard disk, and the hard disk can be a single hard disk or a hard disk set consisting of a plurality of hard disks, such as a hard disk cabinet. The interaction flow of the controller in the multi-control storage system 30 is shown in fig. 4, which includes:
step 401, the controller 1 receives a data writing instruction, and acquires data to be written in the data writing instruction;
step 402, the controller 1 calculates the fingerprint of the data to be written, and determines a target storage controller and a target mirror image controller according to the fingerprint;
in this embodiment, assuming that the calculated fingerprint is 2, the calculated fingerprint is divided by the total number of the controllers to obtain a remainder 2, and the calculated fingerprint is divided by 2 and 4 to obtain a remainder 2, the target storage controller corresponding to the data to be written is controller 2, and the target mirror image controller is the next controller adjacent to the target storage controller, and the target mirror image controller is determined to be controller 3.
Step 403, sending the data to be written to the controller 2 and the controller 3 for storage;
step 404, the controller 2 and the controller 3 feed back a write cache address corresponding to the data to be written to the controller 1;
step 405, the controller 1 receives the write cache address fed back by the controller, records the fingerprint of the data to be written and the write cache address fed back by the other controller and the corresponding relation between the controller 2 and the controller 3;
if the write cache address of the data to be written in the controller 3 is address 3 and the write cache address of the data to be written in the controller 2 is address 3, the correspondence between the fingerprint established in the controller 1 and the two write cache addresses and the correspondence between the target storage controller and the target mirror controller are shown in table 1.
Step 406, if the controller 1 receives a background disk-brushing instruction;
step 407, determining a target fingerprint corresponding to target cache data based on the disk refreshing instruction;
step 408, the controller 1 obtains a target storage controller and a target write cache address corresponding to the target fingerprint based on the locally recorded storage controller, the write cache address of the storage controller and the corresponding relationship of the fingerprint;
step 409, the controller 1 sends control information including the target fingerprint and the target write cache address to the controller 3;
step 410, the controller 3 may obtain target cache data in the write cache of the controller according to the target write cache address;
step 411, the controller 3 determines whether the target fingerprint in the control information is locally recorded; if yes, go to step 412; if not, go to step 413;
the controller 3 judges whether the target fingerprint is stored or not, if so, the target cache data of the disk brushing is possibly stored in the hard disk, and if not, the target cache data of the disk brushing is not stored in the hard disk.
Step 412, performing data deduplication processing according to a set deduplication strategy based on the target cache data, and ending;
if the target fingerprint exists, it indicates that the target cache data of the disk-brushing may already be stored in the hard disk, and therefore data deduplication needs to be performed according to a preset deduplication strategy based on the acquired target cache data. For example, if the deduplication policy is lossless deduplication, the controller 3 may obtain the copy data in the hard disk based on the target fingerprint, determine whether the copy data in the hard disk is the same as the target cache data, and if so, then the deduplication is successful; if not, then the conflict is deleted again, and the conflicting data is added to the hard disk.
And 413, storing the target cache data in a hard disk, recording the target fingerprint to a re-deleted fingerprint library, and ending.
If the target fingerprint does not exist, the target cache data of the disk is still stored in the hard disk, so that the target cache data is sent to the hard disk through a self rear-end IO sending module, and the fingerprint is recorded in a local deduplication fingerprint library.
Because the controller 1 of the present application can dynamically determine the target storage controller and the target mirror image controller based on the fingerprint of the data to be written, and then when the controller 1 determines that the target storage controller corresponding to the disk-brushing instruction is not self, the controller can only send the control information to the target storage controller, so that the target storage controller obtains the corresponding target cache data according to the control information, and the target data required for disk-brushing needs to be transmitted between the controllers in the prior art, compared with the prior art, the data for disk-brushing does not need to be transmitted between the controllers of the present application, so that the present application can avoid occupying the transmission bandwidth when the mirror image data is occupied, and the processing efficiency of writing the data is improved.
Corresponding to the embodiment of the data processing method on the multi-control storage system, the application also provides an embodiment of the data processing device on the multi-control storage system.
