Abstract
A method for managing a pool buffers includes establishing a first buffer class with a first allowable number of buffers, and a first reserved number of buffers that are reserved for the first buffer class in the pool of buffers even if no Input/Output (I/O) operation is running in connection with the first buffer class. The method includes establishing a second buffer class with a second allowable number of buffers, and a second reserved number of buffers that are reserved for the second buffer class in the pool of buffers even if no I/O operation is running in connection with the second buffer class. The first buffer is enabled class to have more than the first allowable number of buffers as long as a number of buffers allocated to the second buffer class is fewer than the second allowable number of buffers.
