Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of computer storage technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a medium for saving log data based on an SSD.

Background

With the development and wide application of technologies such as internet, cloud computing, internet of things, big data and the like, in human life, massive data can be generated at any time and any time, the massive data needs to be processed and stored, and the high-speed development of the information technology puts higher requirements on the performance of a storage system. Solid state disks are widely used because of their fast read/write speed and low energy consumption.

The current solid state disk is more and more widely used, the requirements on the performance and the capacity of the solid state disk are higher, and with the development of a flash memory technology and the improvement of the performance of a main control chip, the related technology of the solid state disk is continuously updated, so that the application requirements can be met as far as possible.

The current scene of solid state disk use becomes more and more complicated, and the requirement to solid state disk is also more and more high, no matter from performance or stability, all has strict standard, and the most important one side is exactly the uniformity of performance, namely, in the use of solid state disk, is the sudden change that does not allow read-write performance, and this will lead to the state of solid state disk that application can't be foreseen to bring unnecessary trouble for the operation of application. How to ensure the consistency of the performance of the solid state disk becomes an important issue for solid state disk firmware research.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are used for distinguishing two entities with the same name but different names or different parameters, and it is understood that "first" and "second" are only used for convenience of description and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof in the following embodiments are omitted.

In view of the above object, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an embodiment of a log data saving method based on SSD. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of an SSD-based log data saving method according to the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the method comprises at least the following steps:

s100, configuring running-state metadata in log data to be continuously stored in a memory physical address of the SSD;

s200, dividing a preset number of Buffer buffers for areas where metadata in the physical memory address are continuously stored, and enabling all the Buffer buffers to have a preset circulation sequence;

s300, storing the updating data of the metadata generated in the reading and writing process according to a preset circulation sequence;

s400, defining a mapping table of a memory logical address and a physical address of log data;

s500, responding to the fact that one Buffer area is full, performing NAND writing operation on data in the Buffer area, and performing NAND writing operation with preset length on metadata which is not written with NAND in the SSD;

s600, in response to the completion of the NAND writing operation, arranging the corresponding Buffer in a preset cycle sequence and waiting for storing the updating data of the metadata.

In the design of a Solid State Drive (SSD) in the prior art, metadata in an operating State is stored in a DDR (Double Data Rate) memory, and in some embodiments of the present invention, all metadata need to be continuously stored in the DDR, which facilitates continuity and simplicity when the metadata is stored; in order to achieve the continuity of metadata storage, there is a difficulty in that when the SSD disk is used by a user, random access is performed, and the metadata is also randomly updated, and in the DDR, the data storage manner is as shown in fig. 2, where metadata used in the running state is represented by Meta, where different types of metadata are represented by Meta a, Meta B, Meta C, Meta D, and Meta E, and Other data except metadata of Journal are represented by Other data. First in some embodiments of the invention, all of the Metas need to be placed together in physical memory, as shown in FIG. 3. This eliminates the need to distinguish the type of Meta, as shown in FIG. 4. The method changes a plurality of discontinuous physical addresses into continuous ones, and can adopt a hardware scheme or a software scheme, wherein the hardware scheme can realize access acceleration, and the software scheme realizes autonomous controllability. Since the use of blocks is continuous (in some embodiments, the use of pages must guarantee strictly continuous increase from 0), only the start address needs to be saved, and the size of the Journal data mapping table is reduced. However, in the Journal module storage process, the Meta is only a part of the metadata, and the data update of the metadata generated in the read-write process is random, and if only the Meta area is stored, the metadata cannot be stored at one time, because the data volume is too large, the super capacitor of the enterprise-level SSD is insufficient in electricity, and the power-off time is too long, so that the disk abnormality occurs; currently, in some prior art, data update generated in random read and write process is called Delta, and the storage mode in DDR is shown in fig. 5. In the general prior art, each kind of metadata is divided into a plurality of Delta areas in SSD, such as Delta1, Delta2, Delta3, and Delta4 in fig. 5, when one of the Delta areas is full, it is written into NAND (in order to be able to recover during power-on) together with a part of its corresponding Meta area, so that the updating change speed of each kind of metadata is different, which results in different generation speeds of Delta. A preset number of Buffer buffers are divided for an area where metadata is continuously stored in a physical address of the SSD memory, as shown in fig. 6, where the Buffer buffers are abbreviated as buffers, and different Buffer buffers are distinguished by serial numbers. The addresses are all physical addresses, and then a mapping table of DDR logical addresses and the physical addresses is defined. The Buffer is designed in order to ensure that it is used in a preset order, and in some embodiments of the present invention, the Buffer is defined as 4 and is specified to be recycled in the order of 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1. In other embodiments, the number of Buffer buffers may be configured according to actual applications. When Buf1 is full, a NAND write of Meta data of length L starting with Buf1 will be initiated, as shown in fig. 7, where Meta1, Meta2, Meta3, Meta4, etc. are all metadata that are divided in order of length L for Meta shown in fig. 6. Referring to fig. 7, in which some prior art embedded systems have simple address mapping functions, but once a mapping item is configured, no modification is allowed, in some embodiments of the present invention, Buffer addresses are required to be mapped to new locations continuously, and the address mapping will have the state shown in fig. 8 in continuous storage. That is, when Buf1 is full, and after writing NAND together with Meta1, Buf1 will be mapped to a new address, as shown in fig. 8 before mapping to Meta5, so that when Buf 2-4 write NAND, Buf1 will be used again, and then write NAND together with Meta5, and so on. When the power is turned on next time, the initial address information is read up, and then the data in the NAND are read to the corresponding positions of the DDR in sequence.

According to some embodiments of the SSD-based log data saving method of the invention, the method further comprises:

responding to the received memory access request, and judging whether the memory access request is a log access request or not;

and responding to the judgment that the memory access request is a log access request, accessing the mapping table, converting the address of the access request into a physical address, and returning data accessed according to the converted physical address to an accessor.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, when a DDR access request is received, it is determined whether the access request is a Journal access. If the access is Journal, the self-defined mapping table is accessed. And according to the address mapping, converting the request address into a physical address, and returning the data accessed by the converted address to the visitor. If the access request is judged not to be Journal access, address mapping is not carried out, the request address is directly used as an access address, and then data accessed by the access address is returned to the visitor.

According to some embodiments of the SSD-based log data saving method of the invention, the method further comprises:

checking whether a conflict exists in response to receiving the address mapping modification request;

in response to a conflict, the conflicting mapping entry is looked up and brought back to the SSD.

In some embodiments of the invention, as shown in FIG. 10, when a request to modify DDR address mapping is received, check if there is a conflict, when there is a conflict, look up the conflict mapping entry, return the address mapping modification status and bring back the mapping entry. And when no conflict exists, applying for a new mapping item and adding the mapping item into the mapping table, and returning the address mapping modification state and bringing back the mapping item.

According to some embodiments of the SSD-based log data saving method of the invention, the method further comprises:

in the power-on process, the SSD executes bad block scanning operation on the NAND;

and according to the bad block scanning operation, selecting good blocks in a plurality of NANDs as alternative replacement blocks when the bad blocks appear in the RAID group.

In some embodiments of the invention, the metadata is not stored using a multi-backup approach, but rather using a RAID5 approach. Generally, in the case of multiple backups, the backup is at least 1+1, that is, one copy of metadata occupies two blocks, while in the case of RAID5, an N +1 manner may be adopted, so that N copies of metadata occupy only N +1 blocks, so that the usage amount of blocks is reduced to the original (N +1)/N × 2, and in general, N is 15, so that the usage amount of blocks becomes 53.3%; however, in the SSD system, the NAND status is unpredictable, and we may choose 16 blocks to form a RAID group, but if 1 or more bad blocks are included, the bad blocks cannot store data, and because we use the continuous storage method to place data, the bad blocks may not store some data correctly. RAID in some prior art techniques avoids data loss by skipping bad blocks to ensure that data is not preserved into the bad blocks. In some embodiments of the present invention, to solve the problem, we need to introduce a bad block replacement block, and solve the problem in a software manner. In the power-on process, bad block scanning is carried out on the SSD, then a Journal module identifies bad blocks and good blocks in 16 blocks according to the scanning result, a small part of the good blocks are used as alternatives, in some embodiments, 4 good blocks are selected as alternative blocks in an alternative group, and when a bad block appears in the RAID group, part of the blocks are selected from the alternative group for replacement, so that a dynamic alternative rule is realized, and the RAID can be normally used.

According to some embodiments of the SSD-based log data saving method of the present invention, in response to one Buffer being full, performing a NAND write operation on data in the Buffer, and performing a NAND write operation of a preset length on metadata not written with a NAND in the SSD further includes:

the Buffer and the preset length are configured to be positive integer multiples of the NAND minimum write unit.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when Buf1 is full, a NAND write of length L starting with Buf1 will be initiated, this L being limited by the operating unit limitations of the NAND, in some embodiments we will use RAID5 so that the length of L can be expanded to multiple sizes of 16k, (16k being the smallest write unit of the NAND); here, it is necessary to fix the size of the Buffer and the size of Meta after being divided, which can be determined according to the write unit size L of the NAND.

Since the storage is continuous in the metadata running state, the Journal module only needs to acquire the start address and the end address of the metadata region, and then stores the whole region, wherein the page size of one SLC block is 16k (i.e. the standard of all current NAND manufacturers), so that a plurality of SLC pages may be used in the storage, and one RAID stripe can store N × 16k in the case of using RAID 5;

when the Journal stores the metadata, the first metadata address with the size of N × 16k is sent to the NAND writing module to complete NAND storage of the data (so as to facilitate recovery at the next power-on time), the stored first address is stored, the metadata with the size of N × 16k is sent to the NAND writing module continuously, and the writing process is repeated in sequence until the whole metadata area is stored in the NAND.

In another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, an embodiment of an SSD-based log data storage device is provided. The device includes:

the continuous storage module is configured to configure the running-state metadata in the log data to be continuously stored in the memory physical address of the SSD;

the Buffer configuration module is configured to divide a preset number of Buffer buffers for areas where metadata in the physical address of the memory is continuously stored, so that all the Buffer buffers have a preset cycle sequence;

the mapping module is configured to define a mapping table of memory logical addresses and physical addresses of log data;

the NAND writing operation module is configured to respond to the fact that one Buffer is full, perform NAND writing operation on data in the Buffer, and perform NAND writing operation with preset length on metadata which is not written into NAND in the SSD;

responding to the received memory access request, and judging whether the memory access request is a log access request or not;

and responding to the judgment that the memory access request is a log access request, accessing the mapping table, converting the address of the access request into a physical address, and returning data accessed according to the converted physical address to an accessor.

in response to a conflict, the conflicting mapping entry is looked up and brought back to the SSD.
