Abstract:
Techniques for processing I/O operations may include: receiving an I/O having an associated expected execution time (EET) and I/O service level; selecting, in accordance with the EET and service level of the I/O, a first I/O queue from multiple pending I/O queues; inserting the I/O into the first I/O queue; and performing I/O shifting. I/O shifting may include shifting I/Os from one pending I/O queue to another that is ranked immediately higher than the one pending I/O queue. The multiple I/O queues may be ranked from a highest priority queue to a lowest priority queue. I/O shifting may shift I/Os from the highest priority queue to execution and shifting I/Os from another queue into the highest priority queue. I/O shifting is subject to remaining credits available of the multiple I/O queues and time distance between source and target queues.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of processing input/output (I/O) operations comprising:\n receiving, using a processor, an I/O operation having an associated expected execution time (EET) and an I/O service level; selecting, using a processor and in accordance with the EET and the service level of the I/O operation, a first queue of a plurality of pending I/O operation queues, wherein the plurality of pending I/O operation queues has a ranking from a highest priority queue of the plurality of pending I/O operation queues to a lowest priority queue of the plurality of pending I/O operation queues; responsive to said selecting, inserting, using a processor, the I/O operation into the first queue; and performing, using a processor, I/O operation shifting for at least one of the plurality of pending I/O operation queues, wherein said I/O operation shifting for the at least one pending I/O operation queue includes shifting one or more I/O operations from the at least one pending I/O operation queue to another one of the plurality of pending I/O operation queues that is ranked immediately higher than the at least one pending I/O operation queue, and wherein said I/O operation shifting includes performing I/O operation shifting for one queue of the plurality of pending I/O operation queues responsive to a timer associated with said one queue reaching a specified maximum value associated with said one queue, wherein the timer indicates an amount of elapsed time.
