Methods and systems for processing read and write requests

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a target system, that a read request received from a storage server is a large read request, based on an amount of data to be read for the read request from a storage device managed by a storage device controller interfacing with the target system and the storage device;
• identifying, by the target system, a granular size to split the read request into a plurality of read requests, based on utilization of a processor of the target system configured to process input/output (I/O) requests, the granular size indicating a number of the plurality of read requests;
• issuing, by the target system, the plurality of read requests to the storage device controller to read data for the plurality of read requests from the storage device;
• generating, by the target system, a plurality of write requests for the storage server, each write request corresponding one of the plurality of read requests;
• transferring, by the target system, data to the storage server for each of the plurality write requests, upon completion of each read request by the storage device controller;
• and
• transmitting, by the target system, a completion notification indicating completion of the read request to the storage server, in response to transmitting data for a last read request of the plurality of read requests.

A non-transitory, machine readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions comprising machine executable code, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:

• determine, by a target system, that a write request received from a storage server is a large write request, based on an amount of data to be written for the write request at a storage device managed by a storage device controller interfacing with the target system and the storage device;
• identify, by the target system, a granular size to split the write request into a plurality of write requests, based on a utilization of a processor of the target system configured to process input/output (I/O) requests, the granular size indicating a number of the plurality of write requests;
• generate, by the target system, a plurality of read requests to the storage server, each read request corresponding one of the plurality of write requests;
• issue, by the target system, the plurality of write requests to the storage device controller, in response to receiving data for the plurality of read requests from the storage server;
• and
• transmit, by the target system, a completion notification indicating completion of the write request to the storage server, in response to the storage device controller writing data for each of the plurality of write requests.
