Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for processing an operation. If previously issued operations are being processed, deferring operation processing. If previously issued operations are not being processed, the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing are issued.
Claims30
A method for processing an operation, comprising:
- if previously issued operations are being processed, deferring operation processing;
- and
- if previously issued operations are not being processed, issuing the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
The method of claim I 1, further comprising:
- if the previously issued operations are being processed, before storing the operation in the structure, determining whether a number of operations stored in the structure exceeds a threshold;
- and
- if the number of operations stored in the structure exceeds the threshold, issuing the prepared operation along with the operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
A system for processing an operation, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor;
- at least one program executed by the processor in the memory to cause the processor to perform:
- (i) if previously issued operations are being processed, deferring operation processing;
- and
- (ii) if previously issued operations are not being processed, issuing the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
A system, comprising:
- a device driver to,
- (i) if previously issued operations are being processed, defer operation processing;
- and
- (ii) if previously issued operations are not being processed, issue the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
An article of manufacture including a program for processing an operation, wherein the program causes operations to be performed, the operations comprising:
- if previously issued operations are being processed, deferring operation processing;
- and
- if previously issued operations are not being processed, issuing the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
An article of manufacture including an operating system and device driver for processing an operation, wherein the operating system and device driver cause operations to be performed, the operations comprising:
- if previously issued operations are being processed, deferring operation processing;
- and
- if previously issued operations are not being processed, issuing the operation and any operations for which operation processing was previously deferred and that require operation processing.
