Scheduling input/output operations for a storage system
A method of scheduling input/output operations for a storage system including determining a deadline for a storage operation, wherein the deadline is dependent on an expected latency of the storage operation; adding the storage operation to a queue of storage operations; and reordering the queue dependent upon the deadline of the storage operation and one or more deadlines of one or more storage operations in the queue of storage operations.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to perform a storage operation from an entity;
determining a deadline for performance of the storage operation, wherein the deadline is dependent on an expected latency of the storage operation;
adding the storage operation to a particular queue of a plurality of queues, wherein the particular queue is assigned to the entity and comprises other storage operations to be performed for the entity; and
reordering, by a processing device, the particular queue dependent upon the deadline of the storage operation and one or more corresponding deadlines of one or more of the other storage operations in the particular queue.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the deadline comprises combining the expected latency of the storage operation and a current time.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the current time is a proxy for time.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations of a single storage operation type.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations for a single storage die of a storage device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations for a single communication channel of a storage device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular queue is reordered in an ascending order of deadlines for the storage operation and the one or more of the other storage operations.
8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed, cause a processing device of a storage controller to:
receive a request to perform a storage operation from an entity;
determine a deadline for performance of the storage operation, wherein the deadline is dependent on an expected latency of the storage operation;
add the storage operation to a particular queue of a plurality of queues, wherein the particular queue is assigned to the entity and comprises other storage operations to be performed for the entity; and
reordering the queue dependent upon the deadline of the storage operation and one or more corresponding deadlines of one or more of the other storage operations in the particular queue.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein determining the deadline comprises combining the expected latency of the storage operation and a current time.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the current time is a proxy for time.
11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations of a single storage operation type.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the particular queue of storage operations comprises storage operations for a single storage die of a storage device.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations for a single communication channel of a storage device.
14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the particular queue is reordered in an ascending order of deadlines for the storage operation and the one or more of the other storage operations.
15. A storage system comprising:
a plurality of storage devices; and
a storage controller operatively coupled to the plurality of storage devices, the storage controller comprising a processing device, the processing device configured to:
receive a request to perform a storage operation from an entity;
determine a deadline for performance of the storage operation, wherein the deadline is dependent on an expected latency of the storage operation;
add the storage operation to a particular queue of a plurality of queues, wherein the particular queue is assigned to the entity and comprises other storage operations to be performed for the entity; and
reorder the queue dependent upon the deadline of the storage operation and one or more corresponding deadlines of one or more of the other storage operations in the particular queue.
16. The storage system of claim 15 , wherein determining the deadline comprises combining the expected latency of the storage operation and a current time.
17. The storage system of claim 16 , wherein the current time is a proxy for time.
18. The storage system of claim 15 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations of a single storage operation type.
19. The storage system of claim 15 , wherein the particular queue comprises storage operations for a single storage die of a storage device.
20. The storage system of claim 15 , wherein the particular queue is reordered in an ascending order of deadlines for the storage operation and the one or more of the other storage operations.
