Abstract: Systems and methods for making use of non-persistent storage as the journaling storage media for a virtual storage system are provided. According to one embodiment, in order to meet the needs of Extreme Low Latency Workloads while also seeking to provide predictable performance and the lowest possible latency, ephemeral storage of the virtual storage system is used to preserve state information (e.g., in the form of boot arguments and an operation log journal) across a host failure recovery scenario in which the virtual storage system is expected to be redeployed within a compute instance brought up by a cloud environment of a hyperscaler on the same host, thereby providing improved data durability (fewer host failure scenarios that result in lost data) as compared to the use of ephemeral memory of the compute instance and lower write latency than the use of persistent storage provided by the cloud environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an interconnect layer send queue reservation system are provided. In one example, a method involves performing a transfer of data (e.g., an NVLog) from a storage system to a secondary storage system. A send queue having a fixed number of slots is maintained within an interconnect layer interposed between a file system and a Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) layer of the storage system. The interconnect layer implements an application programming interface (API) for the reservation system. A deadlock situation is avoided by, during a suspendable phase of a write transaction, making a reservation for slots within the send queue via the reservation system for the transfer of data. When the reservation is successful, the write transaction proceeds with a modify phase, during which the reservation is consumed and the interconnect layer is caused to perform an RDMA operation to carry out the transfer of data.
