Abstract: This application provides a controller software architecture, a controller software upgrade method, a controller, and an apparatus. The controller software architecture includes: a driver layer, an interface layer, an application layer, and a global buffer. The interface layer is configured to exchange data with the application layer through the global buffer, and the interface layer is further configured to exchange data with the driver layer through the global buffer. In this way, data exchange between the interface layer and the application layer and data exchange between the interface layer and the driver layer can be implemented through the global buffer, thereby developing a controller.

Abstract: A disk array flushing method and a disk array flushing apparatus. The method includes acquiring a sequence, which is according to physical addresses of logical units, of the logical units in a same redundant array of independent disks (RAID) group in a disk array, and sequentially flushing, according to the sequence of the logical units, concurrent flushing input-outputs (IOs) of the RAID group to the logical units in the RAID group. According to the disk array flushing method and the disk array flushing apparatus, by uniformly scheduling logical units in a single RAID group and performing flushing according to a sequence of physical addresses, it takes less time for a magnetic arm to jump back and forth for addressing, and influences between RAID groups are prevented by means of independent control over the RAID groups, thereby improving flushing efficiency of a disk array, and increasing throughput of the disk array.
