Abstract

A method comprising: transmitting, from a host device to a storage system, a set of P write requests, where P is a positive integer greater than one; waiting until an oldest one of the set of P write requests is positively acknowledged by the storage system; in response to detecting that the oldest one of the set of P write requests has been positively acknowledged, generating a new write request including a serial number and a bitmap, each bit in the bitmap corresponding to a different one of the set of P write requests, each bit in the bitmap being indicative of whether the bit's corresponding write request has been positively acknowledged by the storage system; and transmitting the new write request from the host device to the storage system.
