Abstract:
An interface superpipe is implemented in a filesystem. A filesystem in a kernel, receives a command to open a file, the command issued in the execution of a process in an application. The file is determined to be on an interface disk. It is determined that a context does not exist for the process and, in response, an adapter queue is allocated for the process in a kernel memory and mapped into a process address space associated with the process. The context information of the process is saved in the kernel memory. The filesystem may be part of a system further comprising a processor, a storage, an interface adapter in communication with the storage and sharing a memory space with the processor, and an application in communication with the filesystem.
