Abstract
A system and method for efficient execution of I/O operations in a storage environment including receiving, by a storage controller, an incoming I/O operation that can be serviced by a storage device while at least one pending operation is to be processed using the storage device, determining, based on an analysis by the storage controller of an operational state of a storage system that includes the storage device, whether processing the at least one pending operation is more efficient than issuing an alternative operation to the storage device, and issuing, by the storage controller, one or more instructions to the storage device.
