Abstract: Read completion buffer space is allocated in accordance with a preset limit. When a read request is received from a client, the sum of a current allocation of the read completion buffer space and a new allocation of the read completion buffer space required by the read request is compared with the preset limit. If the preset limit is not exceeded, read completion buffer space is allocated to the read request. If the preset limit is exceeded, the read request is suspended until sufficient data is read out from the read completion buffer.
