Application based checkpointing control for storage device

1. An electronic processing system, comprising:

a processor;

persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the processor; and

logic communicatively coupled to the processor to:

receive an application-related checkpoint request corresponding to a file of a file system stored on the persistent storage media,

determine one or more checkpoint operations internal to the persistent storage media to perform the application-related checkpoint request, and

apply one or more policies to the checkpoint request, wherein at least one of the one or more policies is to inhibit a denial-of-service attack from the checkpoint request by limiting the number of such checkpoint requests from an associated application.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic is further to:

receive the checkpoint request from a user interface application.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic is further to:

apply policies to automatically detect when to checkpoint, release a checkpoint, and restore on a per-file basis.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the persistent storage media comprises a solid state drive.

5. A semiconductor apparatus, comprising:

one or more substrates; and

logic coupled to the one or more substrates, wherein the logic is at least partly implemented in one or more of configurable logic and fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic coupled to the one or more substrates to:

receive an application-related checkpoint request corresponding to a file of a file system stored on a persistent storage media,

determine one or more checkpoint operations internal to the persistent storage media to perform the application-related checkpoint request, and

apply one or more policies to the checkpoint request, wherein at least one of the one or more policies is to inhibit a denial-of-service attack from the checkpoint request by limiting the number of such checkpoint requests from an associated application.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the logic is further to:

receive the checkpoint request from a user interface application.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the logic is further to:

apply policies to automatically detect when to checkpoint, release a checkpoint, and restore on a per-file basis.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the persistent storage media comprises a solid state drive.

9. A method of checkpointing, comprising:

receiving an application-related checkpoint request corresponding to a file of a file system stored on a persistent storage media;

determining one or more checkpoint operations internal to the persistent storage media to perform the application-related checkpoint request; and

applying one or more policies to the checkpoint request, wherein at least one of the one or more policies inhibits a denial-of-service attack from the checkpoint request by limiting the number of such checkpoint requests from an associated application.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving the checkpoint request from a user interface application.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

applying policies to automatically detect when to checkpoint, release a checkpoint, and restore on a per-file basis.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the persistent storage media comprises a solid state drive.

13. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

receive an application-related checkpoint request corresponding to a file of a file system stored on a persistent storage media;

determine one or more checkpoint operations internal to the persistent storage media to perform the application-related checkpoint request; and

apply one or more policies to the checkpoint request, wherein at least one of the one or more policies is to inhibit a denial-of-service attack from the checkpoint request by limiting the number of such checkpoint requests from an associated application.

14. The at least one non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , comprising a further set of instructions, which when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to:

receive the checkpoint request from a user interface application.

15. The at least one non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , comprising a further set of instructions, which when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to:

apply policies to automatically detect when to checkpoint, release a checkpoint, and restore on a per-file basis.

16. The at least one non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the persistent storage media comprises a solid state drive.
