Abstract

A technique is directed to flushing data from a cache. The technique includes populating a first group of page-descriptor containers with page descriptors identifying data pages to flush from a cache. The technique further includes, after populating the first group of page-descriptor containers, populating a second group of page-descriptor containers with additional page descriptors in place of populating the first group of page-descriptor containers. The technique further includes directing a flushing service to access the first group of page-descriptor containers to obtain the page descriptors identifying the data pages when flushing the data pages from the cache.
