Abstract:
The techniques disclosed herein improve performance of storage systems by providing a time-based mechanism for supporting a flush operation. In one embodiment, a flush completion time stamp is accessed that is indicative of a most recent time of completion of a cache flush by a cache flush function. The flush completion time stamp is compared with a time stamp associated with a cache flush request. Based on the comparing, an indication is generated that the requested cache flush is complete when the flush completion time stamp is more recent than the time stamp associated with the cache flush request.

Claim (Index 17):
A computing device comprising a processor and a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:\n accessing a flush completion time stamp that is indicative of a most recent time of completion of a cache flush by a cache flush function configured to continuously perform a cache flush on a time-based basis or in response to a condition; comparing the flush completion time stamp with a time stamp associated with a cache flush request; and based on the comparing, generating an indication that the requested cache flush is complete when the flush completion time stamp is more recent than the time stamp associated with the cache flush request.
