Techniques are provided for asynchronous reservation of storage volumes in a storage system with persistent storage of reservation data. One method comprises obtaining, by a target storage device, a reservation command from a host device that requests to reserve a storage volume of the target storage device; creating a new execution thread to process the reservation command, wherein an execution of the reservation command is asynchronous; storing an intermediate result of the reservation command in a persistent storage, wherein the stored intermediate result allows the execution of the reservation command to restart from an execution point following the storage of the intermediate result; and initiating a notification to the host device of the reservation of the storage volume in response to a completion of the execution of the reservation command. The target storage device may recover from a failure during a processing of the reservation command by loading a stored intermediate result from the persistent storage.

Asynchronous reservation of storage volumes with persistent storage of reservation data

A method, computer program product, and computer system for directing, by a computing device, an incoming Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) command to a kernel driver. The kernel driver may enqueue the incoming NVMe command until fetched by a user space. The NVMe command may be fetched from the kernel driver for processing. The NVMe command may be pushed to a user space block device of the user space.

System and method for efficient scalable software-defined NVMEoF front-end connectivity

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving an input/output (IO) command for processing data within a storage system. An IO command-specific entry may be generated in a register based upon, at least in part, the IO command. An compare-and-swap operation may be performed on the IO command-specific entry to determine an IO command state associated with the IO command. The IO command may be processed based upon, at least in part, the IO command state associated with the IO command.

System and method for lockless aborting of input/output (IO) commands

A method, computer program product, and computing system for assigning a first set of interrupts for exclusive processing by a first set of central processing units (CPU) cores. A second set of interrupts may be assigned for processing by a second set of CPU cores. The first set of interrupts may be processed using the first set of CPU cores. The second set of interrupts may be converted to a set of polling operations, thus defining a set of converted polling operations. The set of converted polling operations may be processed using the second set of CPU cores.
