Abstract
A method is provided for performance by a mapping driver of a computing device operating as a data storage system. The method includes (a) receiving, from a storage driver stack, a first data storage command (DSC), (b) receiving, from the storage driver stack, a second DSC, (c) determining that the first DSC and the second DSC are both related aspects of a combined storage command, (d) in response to determining, establishing a pairing structure to pair the first DSC and the second DSC together, and (e) fulfilling the combined storage command by fulfilling both the first DSC and the second DSC with reference to the pairing structure. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.
