Patent number: 10970221Abstract: A technique for managing data received into a cache operates in cycles. To process a current batch of compressed blocks during a current cache processing cycle, a storage system obtains a new mapping structure and a new segment of contiguous storage space. If the system can place some of the current batch of compressed blocks into previously-allocated space, the system does so and partially populates the new mapping structure with entries for mapping the other compressed blocks that were not placed. The system then asserts a hold on the new mapping structure, so that the mapping structure is retained in cache at the end of the current cache processing cycle, and more completely populates the new mapping structure with entries for other compressed blocks during a later cache processing cycle before releasing the hold.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Philippe Armangau, Monica Chaudhary, Ajay Karri, Alexander Daniel

Patent number: 10761762Abstract: A technique for writing data in a data storage system includes aggregating data received in a set of I/O requests into a batch that includes multiple extents of data. After compressing a current extent of the batch and determining that the compressed extent does not fit in a space where a previous version of the extent is stored, the technique performs a batch-relocate operation by gathering a set of mapping metadata for mapping each of the extents in the batch, identifying a set of holes indicated by the set of mapping metadata, and adding the holes to a batch-hole list. The technique then selects a hole, from the batch-hole list, which is big enough to accommodate the compressed extent, and places the compressed extent in the selected hole.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Philippe Armangau, Monica Chaudhary, Ajay Karri, Alexander Daniel
