Abstract: A system for tracking metadata changes and recovering from system interruptions. With host I/O, corresponding metadata incremental changes are aggregated and stored in a write-ahead log before being performed to their in-memory buffers. As those buffers are flushed, checkpoints are created and stored in the log. As the log wraps to the start, older entries are overwritten after they are freed from any remaining dependencies by newer checkpoints. If metadata entities have not created new checkpoints, they are instructed to in order to free up space for new aggregated batches and checkpoints. After an interruption, the wrap point is located in the log. From the wrap point, the log is scanned backwards to provide checkpoints to metadata entities. The log is then scanned forwards to perform changes specified by aggregated batches. The metadata entities' volatile memory states are recovered to what they were before the interruption.

Abstract: A technique for managing storage space in a data storage system generates liability values on a per-family basis, with each family including files in the file system that are related to one another by snapping. Each family thus groups together files in the file system that generally share at least some blocks among one another based on snapshot activities. Distinct files that do not share blocks based on snapping are provided in separate families. The technique further generates worst-case storage liability of a version family by differentiating between writable data objects and read-only data objects, thus allowing administrators to provide spare storage and/or prepare for increases in storage requirements as writable data objects grow and differentiate.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes technologies and techniques for use by a data storage controller—such as a non-volatile memory (NVM) controller—to adaptively and hierarchically scale clock signals distributed to its internal components. In various examples described herein, the data storage controller is configured to downscale the internal clocks of the controller for all processing sub-blocks that are in an Active Idle state (or in similar idle states where a component is active but has no tasks to perform). When an entire hierarchy of components is idle, the clock signal applied to the entire hierarchy is downscaled. By downscaling the clock for an entire hierarchy of components, power consumed by the corresponding clock tree is also reduced. In specific examples, clock signals are downscaled by a factor of thirty-two to reduce power consumption. NVMe examples are provided herein.

The attribute can be compared a set of attributes that correspond to an advertised status of the memory package. The comparison enables a determination that the attribute is in the set of attributes. The advertised status of the memory package can then be modified in response to the determination that the attribute is in the set of attributes.
