Abstract

A system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, where the processor is configured to perform various operations. The operations include receiving, in response to a first read input/output operation, a first location of a first data block. The operations also include executing the first read input/output operation at the first data block at the first location. The operations also include selecting a second location within a first search range for destaging a second data block based at least in part on the first location. The operations also include destaging the second data block at the second location upon a determination that a second read input/output operation is not currently executing or queued for execution.
