Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing input/output operations in a computing system that uses a cache. Input/output operations associated with cache index lookups are reduced by tracking the location of the requested data such that the data can be invalidated without having to access the cache index. Input/output operations can be reduced by invalidating the entry in the cache index when reading the corresponding data.

Claim (Index 1):
In a system that includes a storage system and a cache associated with the storage system, a method for inserting data into the cache, the method comprising:\n accessing a cache index to determine a location of data that is stored in the cache in response to a request from a client, wherein the cache index is stored in the cache; returning a block in response to the request from the cache, wherein the block includes the requested data and location information; inserting the block, which includes the requested data and the location information, into a memory that is separate from the cache; and avoiding accessing the cache index when determining whether to insert the requested data in the memory back into the cache by evaluating the location information in the memory, wherein the requested data is not inserted into the cache when the location information indicates that the requested data originated from the cache and that the requested data is still valid, wherein the requested data is written to the cache when the location information indicates that the location is invalid.
