GLOBAL DEADLINE DRIVEN LOCAL SYNCHRONOUS REPLICATION I/O HANDLING AND RECOVER

摘要

A method is provided for use in a storage system, the method comprising: receiving an I/O request at an R-node; generating a deadline for the I/O request; generating a C-node command based on the I/O request; transmitting the C-node command and the I/O request to a C-node; calculating, by the C-node, a first remaining time based on the deadline; detecting, by the C-node, whether the first remaining time meets a first threshold; when the first remaining time meets the first threshold, executing the I/O request and transmitting, from the C-node to the R-node, synchronous replication request that is associated with the C-node command; and when the first remaining time does not meet the first threshold, causing the storage system to stop performing synchronous replication and executing the C-node command.
