Method, system, and program for buffering work requests

摘要

Disclosed is a technique for buffering work requests. It is determined that a work request is about to be placed into an in-memory structure. When the in-memory structure is not capable of storing the work request, a work request ordering identifier for the work request is stored into an overflow structure. When the in-memory structure is capable of storing the work request, a recovery stub is generated for the work request ordering identifier, and the recovery stub is stored into the in-memory structure.
