Abstract

Techniques for processing I/O operations may include: issuing, by a process of an application on a host, an I/O operation; determining, by a driver on the host, that the I/O operation is a read operation directed to a logical device used as a log to log writes performed by the application, wherein the read operation reads first data stored at one or more logical addresses of the logical device; storing, by the driver, an I/O flag in the I/O operation, wherein the I/O flag has a first flag value denoting an expected read frequency associated with the read operation; sending the I/O operation from the host to the data storage system; and performing first processing of the I/O operation on the data storage system, wherein said first processing includes using the first flag value in connection with caching the first data in a cache of the data storage system.
