Abstract

For a flush request for a first block of user data directly stored into a physical block of non-volatile data storage, allocating a virtual layer block, and storing, in the virtual layer block, a first set of virtual block pointers indicating pages of the first block within the physical block. Pointers to the virtual block pointers in the first set are then stored into a leaf layer of a logical address mapping tree. The virtual layer block is identified for a subsequent flush request issued for a second block of user data directly stored into the physical block, and a second set of virtual block pointers indicating pages of the second block within the physical block is stored in the virtual layer block. Pointers to the virtual block pointers in the second set are stored into a leaf layer node of another logical address mapping tree.
