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 1):
A computer-implemented method for performing a memory operation in a computing system where a cache flush function is implemented, the method comprising:\n receiving a request for a flush operation; determining a first time of the request; accessing a record storing a flush completion time indicative of a most recent time of completion of a cache flush by the cache flush function, wherein the cache flush function is configured to continuously perform a cache flush on a time-based basis or in response to a condition; comparing the first time with the flush completion time; and based on the comparing, generating an indication that the requested flush operation is complete when the flush completion time is more recent than the first time.
