发明名称 Systems and methods for instantaneous cloning
摘要 Techniques to clone a writeable data object in non-persistent memory are disclosed. The writeable data object is stored in a storage structure in non-persistent memory that corresponds to a portion of a persistent storage. The techniques enable cloning of the writeable data object without having to wait until the writeable data object is saved to the persistent storage and without needing to quiesce incoming operations (e.g., reads and writes) to the writeable data object.

主权项 1. A method comprising: storing a dirty writeable data object in a non-persistent memory of a storage system; allocating a data pointer to the dirty writable data object without having to wait until the dirty writeable data object is saved to a persistent storage; and cloning the dirty writeable data object in the non-persistent memory without having to wait until the dirty writeable data object is saved to the persistent storage and without having to pause incoming write operations on the dirty writeable data object during said cloning.
