Definitions
- Embodiments relate to a method, system, and program for updating data in a system of organization, such as a RAID system. Description of the Related Art
- RAID Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks
- RAID data storage organizations two or more disk drives are employed in combination to improve fault tolerance or performance, or both.
- RAID data storage organizations There are different types of RAID data storage organizations and these different types are often referred to as RAID "levels 0, 1, 2 ... .
- RAID level 0 data organization for example, the data of a user file is "striped", that is, blocks of user data are spread across multiple disks to improve performance.
- RAID level 3 organization of data is similar to RAID level 0 but one disk is typically reserved to store error correction data, often referred to as "parity data.” This parity data may be used to reconstruct lost user data should one of the drives fail.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a RAID level 5 data organization, comprising a plurality of stripes, stripe 1 , stripe 2 ... stripe n, across an array of disk drives 20a, 20b, ... 20e.
- Each stripe comprises a plurality of blocks of user data 10 and a block of parity data 12.
- No particular disk drive is dedicated to storing the parity data blocks 12. Instead, the blocks 12 of parity data for the stripes are distributed throughout all the disks 20a, 20b, ... 20e of the array, to further improve performance.
- FIG. 2 illustrates logical operations which may be performed to generate new parity data when updating old user data on a stripe such as stripe n in a RAID system with new data.
- an Exclusive-OR logical function may be performed on the new user data 30 and the old user data 32 of stripe n .
- the result of the Exclusive-OR function can be Exclusive-OR'ed with the old parity data 33 of stripe n to generate the new parity data 36 for stripe n.
- the new parity data 36 may be used to overwrite the old parity data 33 on the appropriate RAID storage unit and the new user data 30 may be used to overwrite the old data 32 on the appropriate RAID storage unit.
- the user data and the parity data of any one particular stripe typically reside on different disk drives, the user data and parity data of a stripe are often not updated at the same time. New user data may be written to the stripe before the new parity data is written or vice versa. If the system were to lose power in the middle of a write operation updating a stripe, in some systems, the user data of the stripe may not be consistent with the parity data of the stripe.
- a record may be kept of those stripes, often referred to as "dirty stripes,” which may contain parity inconsistencies, in the event that the system is interrupted by a power failure or other failure before the write operations are completed.

- a computer 102 includes one or more central processing units (CPU) 104 (only one is shown), a memory 106, non- volatile storage 108, a storage processor 109, and an operating system 110.
- the computer 102 may communicate with a network 111 through a network adapter 112.
- An application program 114 further executes in memory 106 and is capable of reading data from and writing data to the storage 108.
- the computer 102 may comprise any computing device known in the art, such as a mainframe, server, personal computer, workstation, laptop, handheld computer, telephony device, network appliance, virtualization device, storage controller, etc. Any CPU 104 and operating system 110 known in the art may be used. Programs and data in memory 106 may be swapped into storage 108 as part of memory management operations.
- a device driver 120 executes in memory 106 and includes storage controller specific commands to communicate with the storage processor 109 and interface between the operating system 110 and the storage processor 109.
- the device driver 120 includes a journal manager 130 which manages the record keeping of units of data stored in the storage 108, for which the parity may be inconsistent as a result of a data update in progress.
- the storage 108 may include a plurality of disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n , in an organization type such as one of the RAID levels, in which parity data is maintained.
- the storage processor 109 performs certain functions to assist the computer 102 in reading data from or writing data to the storage 108.
- the storage processor 109 may have software, firmware or hardware or combinations of these to translate LB A (Logical Block Addresses ) addresses from the computer 102 to cylinder, head and sector specifications of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n.
- LB A Logical Block Addresses
- An example of a suitable storage processor 109 is the 80200 processor and 80312 companion integrated circuits marketed by the Intel Corporation, the assignee of the present application.
- a storage controller similar to the 80200 processor and 80312 companion integrated circuits may be modified to include some or all of the functionality of the journal manager 130 and write processes described herein.
- the storage processor 109 facilitates rapid movement of large amounts of data between the host computer 102 and the storage 108.
- the storage processor 109 includes a bridge 160 between a primary bus 162 of the host computer 102 and a secondary bus 164 coupled to a storage controller 166 of the storage 108.
- the bridge 160 permits the storage controller 166 which may be a Serial- Advanced Technology Attachment (SAT A) controller for example, to be physically isolated from the primary bus 162. Details on the SATA architecture are described in the technology specification "Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment" Rev. 1.0A (Jan. 2003).
- a primary address translation unit 168 provides a high throughput data path from the primary bus 162 to a processor 170 and a local memory 172 via a local bus 174. Also coupled to the local bus 174 is a logic engine 175 which can provide additional processing resources for the processor 170.
- a secondary address translation unit 178 provides a high throughput data path from the processor 170 and local memory 172 to the secondary bus 164.
- the busses 162, 164 are PCI busses but other types of peripheral busses may be used as well. Details on the PCI architecture are provided in "PCI Local Bus, Rev. 2.3", published by the PCI-SIG.
- the local memory 172 has a memory controller 180.
- the local memory 172 is RAM type memory and is used to cache data. Other types of memory may be used as well.
- Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers permit direct memory transfers from the host computer 102 to the local memory 172 and from the local memory 172 to the drives 150a ... 150n.
- non- volatile memory such as non-volatile random access (NVRAM) memory may be provided to store dirty stripe information.
- the functionality for performing RAID type data storage and transfers may be implemented in the storage processor 109, the driver 120 or a combination of the two. This functionality may be implemented in other devices as well such as the network adapter 112.
- the journal manager 130 maintains a record 200 (FIG. 5 A) of dirty stripes in a non- volatile memory such as the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n .
- a non- volatile memory such as the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n .
- the need for a dirty stripe record in a non-volatile memory such as an NVRAM in the storage processor 109 can be obviated, in some applications.
- the record 200 stored in one or more of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n provides a backup should the non- volatile memory or the storage controller fail.
- the journal manager 130 maintains a dirty stripe record 202 (FIG. 5B) in a memory such as the memory 106 of the computer 102.
- journal manager 130 can generate multiple dirty stripe records 200, writing each one to a different one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an example of operations of a journal manager 130 to generate and maintain disk drive dirty stripe records 200 and journal dirty stripe records 202, in coordination with one or more data write operations or processes, an example of which is shown in FIG. 7.
- the write process begins to read the old user data to be updated from the destination stripe of the destination volume as indicated in a read operation 212 of a timeline chart of FIG. 8.
- the write process begins to read the old parity data to be updated from the destination volume and stripe as indicated in another read operation 214 of FIG. 8. Still further, the write operation begins to transfer the new user data to the storage processor 109 in a transfer operation 216. In the example of FIG. 8, this transfer operation may be a DMA transfer. Other types of data transfers may be used as well. In some applications, a transfer of the new data to a storage controller prior to writing the data to the disk drives may not occur.
- the write process issues (block 220, FIGs. 7, 8) an instruction to the journal manager 130 to mark the destination stripe of the write process as a dirty stripe in the journal dirty stripe record 202.
- the journal manager 130 records (block 224, FIGs. 6, 8) the volume number and stripe number of the destination stripe in the journal dirty stripe record 202.
- the journal dirty stripe record 202 includes a plurality of entries 230a, 230b ... 230e, each of which has a field 232 to store the volume number of a destination stripe and a field 234 to store the associated stripe number of a destination stripe.
- the entry 230c was written in response to a write process 240c, the operations of which are illustrated in FIG. 7.
- the write process 230c issued (block 220) the instruction to mark the destination stripe of that write process as a dirty stripe.
- the computer In addition to the write process 230c illustrated in FIG. 7, the computer
- 102 may have a plurality of write processes 240a, 240b ... 240e operating concurrently.
- the write process issues an instruction to the journal manager 130 to enter the destination stripe of that write process as an entry in the journal dirty stripe record 202 in a manner similar to the process block 220 of FIG. 7.
- Some dirty stripe entries may have been entered prior to the entry 230c as represented by the prior entries 230a, 230b.
- a write process 240a may have caused journal dirty stripe record entry 230a to be entered for the destination stripe of write process 240a; and a write process 240b may have caused journal dirty stripe record entry 230b to be entered for the destination stripe of write process 240b.
- a dirty stripe entry need not be entered in the disk drive dirty stripe record 200 directly in response to the initiation of each write process 240a, 240b ... .
- dirty stripe entries in the journal dirty stripe record 202 may be permitted to accumulate for a period of time prior to writing the journal dirty stripe record 202 as the disk drive dirty stripe record 200 in one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n.
- two additional concurrent write processes 240d, 240e are shown as causing the entries of two additional entries 230d, 230e, respectively, in the journal dirty stripe record 202, for the destination stripes of the write processes 240d, 240e, respectively.
- the write process instructs (block 252, FIGs. 7, 8) the journal manager 130 to "flush", that is, write the journal dirty stripe record 202 to one of the disk drives 150a, 150 b... 150n so that the journal dirty stripe record 202 becomes a disk drive dirty stripe record 200 stored on one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n.
- the first write process of the batch of write processes 240a, 240b ... 240e is initiated (block 210, FIG.
- the journal manager 130 can accumulate dirty stripe records in the journal dirty stripe record 202 for later write processes of the batch being initiated until one of the then concurrent write processes of the batch receives its new user data, the time of which is marked as time tl in the timeline of FIG. 8.
- the time tO marking the initiation of a write process may be for a write process different from the concurrent write process which first receives its new user data marked at time tl.
- a dirty stripe record accumulation period has been described as a period tO-tl, it is appreciated that other time periods may be selected to mark the beginning and end of a dirty stripe accumulation period.
- events other than data transfer may be used to trigger the generation of a flush instruction to the journal manager 130.
- the write processes of the batch could inhibit the generation of a flush instruction to the journal manager 130 until a dirty stripe record has been written for each destination stripe of each write process of the batch.
- Other events may be used to denote time periods for dirty stripe record accumulation.
- the journal manager 130 can also mark destination stripes as clean (block 324) in response to mark clean instructions received (block 322) from various write processes during this accumulation period.
- journal manager 130 determines (block 262) whether the journal dirty stripe record 202 has already been flushed for the dirty stripe entry of the record 202 for the write process issuing the flush instruction. This determination is made by examining a journal flush record 270 which, like the journal dirty stripe record 202, includes a plurality of entries 272a. 272b ...
- each of which has a field 232 to store the volume number of a destination stripe and a field 234 to store the associated stripe number of a destination stripe of a write process.
- Each entry 272a. 272b ... 272e identifies the destination stripe of a write process for which the corresponding journal dirty stripe record entry of the entries 232a ... 232h has already been flushed, that is, written to a disk drive dirty stripe record 200.
- journal manager 130 continues to accumulate (blocks 222, 224) dirty stripe entries in the journal dirty stripe record 202 for other concurrent write processes until another flush instruction is received (block 260) from a concurrent write process.
- journal manager 130 increments (block 280) the record generation number stored in a field 282 of the journal dirty stripe record 202. This record generation number may be used to determine whether the information of the record 202 once written to one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n is the most current record 200 of the written disk drive dirty stripe records 200.
- journal manager 130 marks (block 284, FIGs. 6, 8) the journal flush record 270 to indicate a list of the dirty stripes being written to the disk drive dirty stripe record 200. In one embodiment, this may be accomplished by erasing any prior entries 272a ... 272e of the journal flush record 270 and copying all of the current dirty stripe entries 232a ... 232e of the journal dirty stripe record 202 to the journal flush record 270. In this manner, the journal flush record 270 can provide a record of all the dirty stripe entries 232a ... 232e written to the latest disk drive dirty stripe record 200. [00033] Still further, the journal manager 130 writes (block 290, FIGs.
- the dirty stripe entries 230a-230e of the record 202 are written as the dirty stripe entries 291a-291e of the disk drive dirty stripe journal 200.
- the generation number field 282 of the record 202 is copied to the field 282 of the record 200.
- the journal manager 130 Upon completion of the writing of the latest disk drive dirty stripe record 200, the journal manager 130 sends (block 292, (block 290, FIGs. 6, 8) a dirty stripe record write done callback to each of the write processes identified by the destination stripes entries 272a ... 272e of the journal flush record 270.
- This callback indicates to the write processes listed in the journal flush record 270 that the record identifying their destination stripes as dirty stripes has been written to the disk drives as the latest disk drive dirty stripe record 200.
- the write processes receiving (block 300, FIG. 7) the dirty stripe record write done callback, may begin to write (block 302, FIGs. 7, 8) the new user data of each write process to the destination stripe of the associated write process.
- the write process can generate (operation 310) the new parity data.
- a write process once it completes the generation (block 312, FIG. 7) of the new parity data for the destination stripe, can begin to write (block 314, FIGs. 7, 8) the new parity data to the destination stripe of the write process.
- the write process can issue (block 320, FIGs. 7, 8) an instruction to the journal manager 130 to mark the destination stripe of the write process as clean.
- journal manager 130 In response (block 322, FIG. 6) to the mark clean instruction from a write process, the journal manager 130 removes (block 324) the entry from the journal dirty stripe record 202 which identified the destination stripe for that write process as a dirty stripe, since the write process for that stripe has been completed and the stripe is no longer potentially "dirty", that is the user data and parity data are not potentially inconsistent. However, in accordance with another aspect, the journal manager 130 may not immediately flush the information of the updated journal dirty stripe record 202 to the disk drives 150a, 150b ... 150n.
- journal manager can continue to accumulate (block 222) instructions from new concurrent write processes and add (block 224) their destination stripes to the journal dirty stripe record 202 as indicated by record 202 entries 230f, 230g, 230h ... 230n in phantom, until a flush instruction is received (block 260) for a destination stripe entry which has not yet been flushed (block 262). Still further, the journal manager can continue to accumulate (block 322) mark stripe clean instructions from previously concurrent write processes as those write processes complete, and remove (block 324) their destination stripes from the journal dirty stripe record 202 until a flush instruction is received (block 260) for a destination stripe entry which has not yet been flushed (block 262).
- journal manager 130 increments (block 280) the record generation number stored in the field 282 and marks (block 284, FIGs. 6, 8) the journal flush record 270 to indicate the list of the dirty stripes being written to the disk drive dirty stripe record 200. Still further, the journal manager 130 writes (block 290, FIGs. 6, 8) the current journal dirty stripe record 202 to one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ...
- journal manager 130 can mark (block 352) a field 354 (FIG.
- journal dirty stripe record 202 4
- the field 354 may be marked to indicate a clean shut down. As a result, if power is subsequently lost, a clean up operation upon reboot may be avoided.
- journal manager 130 increments (block 280) the record generation number stored in the field 282 of the journal dirty stripe record 202 and marks (block 284, FIGs. 6, 8) the journal flush record 270 to indicate that the list of the dirty stripes being written to the disk drive dirty stripe record 200 is empty. In one embodiment, this may be accomplished by erasing any prior entries 272a ... 272e of the journal flush record 270. Still further, the journal manager 130 writes (block 290, FIGs. 6, 8) the current journal dirty stripe record 202 to one of the disk drives 150a, 150b ...
- journal manager 130 need not send (block 292, FIGs. 6, 8) a dirty stripe record write done callback since no write processes are identified by the empty destination stripes entries 272a ... 272e of the journal flush record 270.
- the clean shut down field 354 of the disk drive dirty stripe record 200 having the latest generation number as indicated by the field 282, may be examined. If the field 354 indicates that the system was previously shut down in a clean fashion, the consistency of the parity data of no stripes may need to be restored. Thus, a reinitialization of the parity data of an entire volume can be avoided. On the other hand, if the clean shutdown field 354 of the latest disk drive dirty stripe record 200 indicates that the shut down was not clean, the entries 291a, 291b ... of the disk drive dirty stripe record 200 may be examined to identify those stripes potentially having inconsistent user and parity data such that the parity data for the identified stripes may be reinitialized.
