Abstract

In one embodiment, a storage system receives a number of input/output (IO) request transactions at the storage system having multiple storage devices. For each of the plurality of IO request transactions, the system determines a number of child IO requests required to complete the IO request transaction. The system tags the IO request transaction and/or the associated child IO requests with a tag identifier. For each of the child requests that is a write IO request, the system determines an optimal write IO request size, segments the write IO request into a number of sub-IO write requests, each having an optimal request size, and interleaves sub-IO write requests with read IO requests for servicing to avoid impact in performance to read IO requests for a mixed IO workload.
