Abstract
A method for direct addressing in virtual addressed systems includes obtaining, by a system including a processor and in response to receiving a request to access a data item stored by a storage system, address information for the data item from a data structure. The address information includes a first physical storage address of the storage system, a first generation number associated the first physical storage address in the data structure, and an address redirector. The method also includes accessing, by the system and in response to the first generation number being determined to be different from a second generation number associated with the first physical storage address, the data item at a second physical storage address of the storage system instead of the first physical storage address, the second physical storage address being determined based on the address redirector.
