Abstract

A method is used in managing accesses to storage objects. Access I/Os being directed to at least one storage object are received into a first queue that operates on a first in first out basis. In accordance with the first in first out basis, a batch of the access I/Os is created from the first queue. The batch is transferred to a second queue that is controlled by ordering logic. The batch in the second queue is ordered in accordance with the ordering logic. All of the access I/Os from the second queue are processed in order, before any additional access I/Os are added to the second queue.
