Abstract
Ensuring the fair utilization of system resources using workload based, time-independent scheduling, including: receiving an I/O request associated with an entity; determining whether an amount of system resources required to service the I/O request is greater than an amount of available system resources in a storage system; responsive to determining that the amount of system resources required to service the I/O request is greater than the amount of available system resources in the storage system: queueing the I/O request in an entity-specific queue for the entity; detecting that additional system resources in the storage system have become available; and responsive to detecting that additional system resources in the storage system have become available, issuing an I/O request from an entity-specific queue for an entity that has a highest priority among entities with non-empty entity-specific queues.
