Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, an I/O request. The I/O request may be processed as a write miss I/O. One or more dirty pages associated with the write miss I/O may be placed into a tree according to a key. It may be determined whether one of a first event and a second event occurs. A data flush may be triggered for the tree when the first event occurs, and the data flush may be triggered for the data flush for the tree when the second event occurs.
