The embodiment of the invention provides a method for accessing a storage device, which can reduce the kernel trapping and kernel trapping times of the system when the application accesses the storage device, thereby improving the access speed and improving the system reliability.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an SDS-based storage system may generally include a host and a storage device, and a software definition module (ie, a software definition layer) is configured in the host, and a typical storage controller in the storage hardware is integrated in the software definition module. The function can provide storage management such as volume management, and can cooperate with the storage device to provide storage services for upper-layer applications. In an SDS-based storage system, the storage services provided by the software definition module and the storage device generally include not only data read/write services but also advanced function services (the advanced function services refer to functional services other than data read/write services). , such as data snapshots, intelligent tiering, deduplication or data compression. In a practical application, the storage device may be located at a remote end of the host, or may be set locally on the host, where the storage device may be a storage area network (SAN) or a network attached storage (NAS). The embodiments of the present invention are not limited herein.

In the prior art, when an application in a host accesses a storage device, the workflow is generally as follows: 1) The application sends an input/output (also referred to as I/O, or 10) operation instruction to the operating system kernel; 2) the operating system The kernel provides the I/O operation instruction to the block/file driver of the operating system, and the block/file driver of the operating system converts the I/O operation instruction to the software definition module; 3) the software definition module is converted according to the The I/O operation instruction performs corresponding read/write access to the storage device; 4) the software definition module receives the access result returned by the storage device, and sends the result to the application to complete the access to the storage device. Normally, both the application and the software-defined modules are implemented in user mode, that is, running in user space, and the block/file drivers of the operating system kernel and operating system are implemented in kernel mode, that is, running in kernel space, therefore, step 1 In the case of switching from user mode to kernel mode, there is a kernel trap; in step 2), it needs to switch from kernel mode to user mode, there is a kernel trap; and when accessing the storage device in step 3), it needs to switch from user mode. In the kernel state, there is a kernel trap; in step 4), when receiving the access result, the kernel state needs to be switched to the user state, and there is a kernel trap, as shown in Figure 2. Obviously, the more the kernel is trapped and the kernel is trapped, the longer the I/O path is. Therefore, multiple core traps and kernel traps will not only reduce I/O access speed, but also affect access efficiency and system reliability. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following examples are described in detail.

Embodiment 1

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for accessing a storage device, which is used in an SDS-based storage system, where the SDS-based storage system includes a host and the storage device. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:

S301: The software definition module running in the user space in the host intercepts an input/output I/O operation instruction sent by an application of the host, where the I/O operation instruction carries an access address.

The application running in the user space, when accessing the storage device, will send an I/O operation instruction to the operating system in the host. The software definition module may intercept the I/O operation instruction before the I/O operation instruction reaches the operating system kernel, and avoid the I/O operation instruction because the software definition module runs in a user space. Fall into the kernel state.

S302: The software definition module determines, according to the access address, the pair of I/O operation instructions. The storage service should be.

Since the application accesses the storage device, it is equivalent to the application requiring software definition modules and storage devices to provide data read/write services, and even software definition modules and storage devices to provide advanced functional services such as data compression. Therefore, the software definition module needs to determine a storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction, so as to subsequently provide a storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction, and implement access of the application to the storage device. The storage service includes not only data read/write services, but also advanced function services (services other than data read/write services), such as data snapshots, intelligent layering, deduplication, or data. Compression and so on.

When the SDS-based storage system is set up, which storage addresses of the storage device are accessed, which storage services are required, for example, which volumes of the storage device are accessed, which storage services are required, or When the logical address is accessed, which storage service is required, the software definition module can determine the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction according to the access address. Since the software definition module runs in the user space, the process of determining the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction is implemented in the user space, thereby avoiding the sinking/trapping of the kernel.

Specifically, the software definition module may query a pre-configured address service mapping table according to the access address to determine a storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction; and the address service mapping table is used to record the storage. Corresponding relationship between the address of the device and the storage service; for example, when the SDS-based storage system is established, the address service mapping table may be configured in the software definition module by the operation and maintenance system, so that the software definition module may be configured according to the The access address is used to query a pre-configured address service mapping table to determine a storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction. The address of the element may also be the address of a part of the storage unit in the storage device. The address of the storage device may be in the form of a logical address or may be presented in other forms, which is not limited herein.

S303: The software definition module is configured according to the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction and the An I/O operation instruction instructing an operating system kernel of the host to access the storage device according to the access address.

When accessing the storage device, the kernel of the operating system may be utilized, and the software definition module may indicate the host according to the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction and the I/O operation instruction. The operating system kernel accesses the storage device based on the access address. Since the operating system kernel runs in kernel space and needs to be in kernel space when accessing the storage device, the storage system will switch from user mode to kernel state, and a kernel trap will occur.

Specifically, the I/O operation instruction may be a read operation instruction, and may also be a write operation instruction. If the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction does not include an advanced function service, the software definition module only needs to be based on The I/O operation instruction, indicating that the operating system kernel of the host performs read/write access to the storage device according to the access address; if the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction includes an advanced function service, The software definition module may perform, according to the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction, perform a corresponding advanced function operation on data that needs to be written into the storage device, and then instruct the operating system kernel to perform the The processed data is written to the storage device, or the software definition module may instruct the operating system kernel to read data from the storage device according to the access address, and then read from the storage device The retrieved data performs the corresponding advanced function operations. For example, if the advanced function service included in the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction is data compression, the software definition module may perform a data compression operation on data that needs to be written to the storage device, and then compress the data. The subsequent data is written to the storage device.

S304: The software definition module receives an access result returned by the operating system kernel.

The software definition module may receive an access result returned by the operating system kernel. Because the software definition module runs in a user space, the operating system kernel runs in a kernel space, and the storage system switches from a kernel state to a user state. , a kernel trap occurs.

S305: The software definition module sends the access result to the application.

Sending, by the software definition module, the access result to the application means:

When the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction does not include the advanced function operation, the software definition module is straight And sending the access result returned by the operating system kernel to the application to complete access to the storage device; if the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction includes an advanced function service, The software definition module may need to perform corresponding advanced function operations on the access result (eg, data read from the storage device) before sending the application to the application to complete access to the storage device. For example, if the advanced function service included in the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction is data compression, the software definition module may perform a data compression operation on the data read from the storage device, and then send Give the application.

Both the software definition module and the application run in the user space, avoiding kernel trapping/sinking.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the software definition module running in the user space of the host can intercept an I/O operation instruction sent by the application of the host, and the I/O operation instruction carries an access address, which avoids the The I/O operation instruction is trapped in a kernel state, so that the software definition module can determine, according to the access address, a storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction, according to the storage service and the corresponding operation instruction of the I/O operation instruction. An I/O operation instruction, instructing an operating system kernel of the host to access the storage device according to the access address, receiving an access result returned by the operating system kernel, and transmitting the access result to the application, to implement The application's access to the storage device. Since the software definition module runs in the user space, in the above process, only when the software definition module instructs the operating system kernel of the host to access the storage device, there is a kernel trap, and the software definition module receives the access result returned by the operating system kernel. There is a kernel trap that reduces the number of kernel traps and kernel traps when the application accesses the storage device, which improves access speed and improves system reliability.

The host and storage device described in the first embodiment may be 11 and 12 in the SDS-based storage system shown in Fig. 1, respectively.

In order to further improve the access speed, the cache device 411 can also be added to the storage device 12 shown in FIG. 1, thereby obtaining the storage device 40. The storage device 40 includes the cache device 411 and the storage device 12 (ie, the storage device 12 in FIG. 1). ). When the storage device is disposed at a far side of the host In the end, the cache device may be disposed locally on the host, and the cache device may be a cache device (eg, a non-volatile memory chip NVDIMM, a non-volatile random access memory NVRAM), or a disk device or the like; when the storage device is set locally on the host, the cache device may be set locally on the host, and the cache device may be a cache device.

The software definition module can instruct the operating system kernel to access the cache device to access the storage device through the cache device, thereby increasing access speed. For example, if it is necessary to write data to the storage device, the software definition module may instruct the operating system kernel to write write data to the cache device, and subsequently write the write data to the storage device by the cache device, Access speed; if it is required to read data from the storage device, the software definition module may instruct the operating system kernel to read data from the cache device, if the cache device has saved data that needs to be read, The cache device may directly provide the data to be read, and improve the access speed. If the cache device does not store the data to be read, the cache device may obtain the data from the storage device. The data that needs to be read is given to the operating system kernel. Therefore, step S303 of the first embodiment can be replaced by:

S303': the software definition module instructs the operating system kernel of the host to access the cache device according to the access address according to the storage service corresponding to the I/O operation instruction and the I/O operation instruction, to The storage device is accessed by the cache device. Embodiment 2

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for accessing a storage device, which is used for an SDS-based storage system, where the SDS-based storage system includes a host and a storage device, and an I/O operation delivered by an application in the host When the storage service corresponding to the instruction includes the advanced function service, and the I/O operation instruction is a read operation instruction, the software definition module may access the storage device by using the method described in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5. As shown, the method includes:

S501: The software definition module running in the user space in the host intercepts the application of the host An I/O operation instruction sent by the program, the I/O operation instruction carrying an access address.

The software definition module may intercept the I/O operation instruction before the I/O operation instruction reaches the operating system kernel, and the I/O operation is avoided because the software definition module runs in a user space. The instruction falls into the kernel state.

The manner in which the software definition module intercepts the I/O operation instruction may be various, and specifically, the following manner may be employed.

Method 1: When the application uses the dynamic link library to link the operating system library of the operating system, the dynamic link library preloading method can be used to intercept the I/O operation instructions of the application. The principle is as follows: General application In the runtime environment, interfaces are provided to specify the dynamic link library that is loaded first when the program is running. By default, the application's I/O operations preferentially load the operating system's dynamic link library. Therefore, the dynamic link library issued by the software definition module can be set to be preferentially loaded by using the provided interface, so that when the application performs the I/O operation, the interface provided by the software definition module is loaded, thereby realizing the application sending. 10 interception of operation instructions. For example, in a Linux system, the dynamic link library that is preferentially loaded by the program runtime can be specified by the environment variable LD_PreLOAD, so that the load order of the dynamic link library released by the software definition module can be higher than that of the operating system by using LD-PRELOAD. Dynamic link library.

Method 2: When the application uses the static link library to link the operating system library of the operating system, you can use the application link process control method, set the priority resolution symbol, and intercept the I/O operation instruction of the application. As follows: By default, when the application performs I/O operations, the operating system's symbol ( symbol ) is prioritized. Since the regular compiler provides symbol-first parsing control parameters during application compilation and linking, the symbol-first parsing control parameters can be set so that when the application's I/O operations need to find a symbol, it will take precedence. The symbol of the software-defined module is parsed first, instead of prioritizing the symbol of the operating system, and the interception of the I/O operation instruction of the application is realized.
