Methods and systems for managing race conditions during usage of a remote storage location cache in a networked storage system

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

• generate, by a first storage node, a dummy entry in a storage location cache of the first storage node, the dummy entry associated with a read request received by the first storage node for data stored using a logical object owned by a second storage node configured as a failover partner node of the first storage node, the dummy entry generated, when a storage location entry indicating a storage location of the data is unavailable at the storage location cache;
• transmit, by the first storage node, the read request to the second storage node;
• receive, by the first storage node, an invalidation request to invalidate any storage location entry associated with the data, the invalidation request sent in response to the second storage node receiving a write request to modify the data;
• invalidating, by the first storage node, the dummy entry;
• receive, by the first storage node, a response to the read request from the second storage node with the requested data;
• and
• replace, by the first storage node, the dummy entry with a storage location entry and invalidating the storage location entry based on the invalidated dummy entry.
