Abstract: A system and method for offloading network processes from main processors of a storage system and performing them on parallel processing modules. Embodiments of the present invention allocate resources such as memory and/or buffers to particular connections between various storage operating system processes or between storage operating system processes and a network interface. Connections are identified by a connection identifier (CID) and are assigned particular buffers according to parameters such as buffer availability, connection priority, and/or maximum allocation thresholds. A connection associated with a CID is guaranteed access to a certain number of dedicated buffers. Deadlock is avoided even when an operating system process associated with a different CID attempts to exhaust available memory and/or buffers because such processes will only have access to their own allocated resources.

Abstract translation: 一种用于从存储系统的主处理器卸载网络进程并在并行处理模块上执行它们的系统和方法。 本发明的实施例为各种存储操作系统进程之间或存储操作系统进程和网络接口之间的特定连接分配诸如存储器和/或缓冲器之类的资源。 连接由连接标识符（CID）标识，并根据诸如缓冲可用性，连接优先级和/或最大分配阈值的参数来分配特定缓冲器。 与CID相关联的连接保证访问一定数量的专用缓冲区。 即使当与不同CID相关联的操作系统进程尝试耗尽可用内存和/或缓冲区时，也会避免死锁，因为这些进程只能访问自己分配的资源。

Abstract: A system for storing file data and directory data received over a network includes a network interface in communication with the network which receives NAS requests containing data to be written to files from the network. The system includes a first type of storage. The system includes a second type of storage different from the first type of storage. The system includes a policy specification n which specifies a first portion of one or more files' data which is less than all of the files' data is stored in the first type of storage and a second portion of the data which is less than all of the data of the files is stored in the second type of store. The system comprises a processing unit which executes the policy and causes the first portion to be stored in the first type of storage and a second portion to be stored in the second type of storage. A method for storing file data and directory data received over a network.
