Abstract:
An in-line (or foreground) approach to obtaining contiguous ranges of free space in a file system of a data storage system that can select windows having blocks suitable for relocation at a time when one or more blocks within the respective windows are freed or de-allocated. By providing the in-line or foreground approach to obtaining contiguous ranges of free space in a file system, a more efficient determination of windows having blocks suitable for relocation can be achieved, thereby conserving processing resources of the data storage system.

Claim (Index 17):
The data storage system of  claim 16  wherein the storage processor is further configured to execute, in the foreground process, the first set of instructions:\n having determined that the number of allocated blocks in the third window of the persistent cache is less than the first predetermined threshold value, to perform one or more of relocating and de-allocating the allocated blocks to evacuate the third window of the persistent cache, thereby obtaining a contiguous range of free space that includes the evacuated first window and the evacuated third window.
