Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes suspending a parent/control thread of a data storage system, and receiving a plurality of read requests while the parent/control thread is suspended, each read request having storage information associated therewith. The computer-implemented method further includes resuming the parent/control thread, analyzing the read requests, aggregating read requests requesting common data objects into a common read operation, and dispatching the common read operation to a multi-threaded I/O layer of the data storage system for retrieving data associated with the read requests. The analyzing includes sorting the read requests using the associated storage information.
