Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to regulating access rates in a computer system, and specifically to regulating file access rates of software processes according to file type.
- Multitasking operating systems such as UNIX® and Microsoft WINDOWS NT®are widely utilized in commercial computing systems. Among their many commercial uses, these operating systems are commonly deployed on Internet and other network server computers. With the popularity and success of the Internet, server computer operating systems are currently of great commercial importance.
- Multitasking operating system One function of a multitasking operating system is to allocate system resources to the multiple software processes that simultaneously execute under the control of the operating system. Control over the allocation of system resources by an operating system is commercially useful for a number of reasons.
- Multitasking operating system are commonly used on Internet web servers by Internet Service Providers (ISP's). Where an ISP provides host services to multiple customers on a single physical computer, it is desirable to allot to each virtual host a specific amount of computer resources appropriate to the needs of the customer, and preferably based upon the amount paid for the services.
- ISP's Internet Service Providers
- the first customer is a large corporation providing financial services to thousands of clients internationally.
- the financial services host requires fast file access, as well as prompt response time to all client requests.
- the second customer is a sole proprietorship that sells floral arrangements locally.
- the second customer has a very limited budget, but only requires minimal computer resources.
- the ISP may wish to provide the financial services host with the ability to access files at the rate of 1,000 bytes per second, but to allow the florist to access files at the rate of only 150 bytes per second. These different access rates would be based upon the different needs of the two customers, and the corresponding different compensation schemes of each.
- multitasking operating systems operate today, it would be impossible for the ISP to regulate the file access rates of the different customers.
- Each process associated with either virtual host simply accesses the file system at the same unregulated rate, and thus it is impossible for the ISP to guarantee or restrict access rates based upon customer need and corresponding financial arrangement. What is needed is a method that facilitates the regulation of the rate at which individual processes access the file system of a multitasking operating system.
- Communication channels and files stored on media are inherently different, despite the fact that both are accessed via file descriptors. It is often desirable to for an ISP to allow a single process to access files stored on media at one rate, and to access communication channels at another. For example, a customer of the ISP may need to receive and respond to client requests very quickly, but need only an average access time for files stored on the system storage device(s). Such a customer would require (and be willing to pay for) a fast communication channel access rate, but only need (and be willing to pay for) a slower access rate to files stored on media.
- Multitasking operating systems today are not capable of regulating the file access rates of different processes generally, much less facilitating different access rates for specific processes based on file type.
- each process accesses both files stored on media and communication channels at unregulated rates, not controlled by the operating system.
- What is further needed is a method that not only facilitates the regulation of the rate at which individual processes access the file system of a multitasking operating system, but which also allows processes to be regulated to different access rates for different file types.
- entities other than communication channels and files stored on media are treated as files, and hence need separate access rates.
- hardware devices are treated as files.
- the present invention allows regulation of the file access rates of processes according to file type.
- An association data structure stores associations between processes to be regulated and specific access rates for various file types.
- system calls that access files are intercepted.
- a process to be regulated makes a system call that accesses a file
- the system call is intercepted, and a system call wrapper executes instead.
- the system call wrapper determines the type of file that is being accessed by the process.
- the system call wrapper examines the association table in order to determine if the calling process is associated with an access rate for that file type. If not, then the process is not to be regulated for that file type, in which case the system call wrapper simply allows the file access to proceed. Otherwise, the system call wrapper regulates the rate of the access to the file according to the appropriate rate.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a high level overview of a system 100 for regulating file access rates of processes 107 based upon file type according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- a computer memory 101 includes user address space 103 and operating system address space 105 .
- a process 107 executes in user address space 103 .
- FIG. 1 illustrates only a single process 107 executing in user address space 103 , it is to be understood that within a given computer memory 101 , multiple processes 107 can execute simultaneously.
- a data structure for storing associations 129 between processes 107 and access rates for file types is inserted into the operating system 117 .
- the data structure is an association table 127 , but in other embodiments other data structures are utilized, for example a linked list.
- the association table 127 (or other data structure) is dynamically loaded into the operating system kernel 109 , while the kernel 109 is active.
- the association table 127 is stored in user address space 103 . The maintenance and use of the association table 127 is discussed in detail below.
- system calls 115 that access files are intercepted.
- a system call wrapper 111 is utilized in order to intercept system calls 115 .
- the system call wrapper 111 is dynamically loaded into the operating system kernel 109 , while the kernel 109 is active.
- the system call wrapper is loaded in user address space 103 .
- the system call wrapper 111 is preferably in the form of object code, the functional features of which are described in detail below.
- Pointers 114 to system calls 115 are located in an operating system call vector table 113 .
- system call vector table denotes an area in operating system address space 105 in which there are stored the addresses of system calls. In the UNIX® operating system, this part of the operating system is called the “system call vector table,” and that term is used in this specification. Other operating systems employ different terminology to denote the sane system component. A system call vector table by any other name is still within the scope of the present invention.
- a copy 116 is made of a pointer 114 to each system call 115 to be intercepted.
- These copies 116 of pointers 114 are preferably stored in operating system address space 105 , but in an alternative embodiment are stored in user address space 103 .
- the pointers 114 in the system call vector table 113 to the system calls 115 to be intercepted are replaced with pointers 118 to the system call wrapper 111 , such that when a system call 115 to be intercepted is made, the system call wrapper 111 executes instead.
- this copying, storing, and replacing of pointers is performed by the system call wrapper 111 .
- copying, storing, and replacing of pointers is performed by a pointer management module executing in either operating system address space 105 or user address space 103 as desired.
- the pointer management module can either be a stand alone program, or a component of a larger application program as desired.
- Executing alternative code when a system call 115 is made comprises intercepting the system call 115 .
- the steps of inserting a system call wrapper 111 into the operating system 117 , making a copy 116 of an operating system pointer 114 to a system call 115 , and replacing the operating system pointer 114 with a pointer 118 to the system call wrapper 111 facilitate interception of a system call 115 .
- the operating system 117 uses the pointer 118 in the system call vector table 113 to the system call wrapper 111 to execute the system call wrapper 111 .
- a single system call wrapper 111 is loaded into operating system address space 105 .
- the system call wrapper 111 executes.
- techniques described in the “Selective Interception of System Calls” application are used to associate a specific system call wrapper 111 with each process to be regulated.
- Processes 107 execute in user address space 103 under control of the operating system 117 , and make system calls 115 .
- the system call wrapper 111 determines the type of the file being accessed.
- the system call wrapper 111 also examines the association table 127 to determine whether the process 107 that made the system call 115 is associated with an access rate for that file type. If so, the system call wrapper 111 regulates the file access rate appropriately. Otherwise, the access is allowed to proceed normally.
- system call wrapper still determines if the process 107 is associated with a rate for the file type being accessed, because an individual process 107 may be regulated for some file types and not for others.
- FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of a system 200 for regulating file access rates of processes 107 based upon file type.
- the association table 127 is managed by an access rate regulator program 201 .
- the access rate regulator program 201 modifies the operating system 117 of the computer to include the association table 127 .
- the regulator program 201 loads the association table 127 into the kernel 109 of the operating system 117 while the kernel is active.
- the regulator program 201 For each process 107 to be regulated, the regulator program 201 stores, in the association table 127 , an association 129 between the process 107 and an access rate for at least one file type. For example, suppose a process 107 associated with a financial services host is to be regulated to 1,000 bytes per second for files stored on media, and to 1,400 bytes per second for communication channels. The regulator program 201 would store two associations for the process 107 , the first indicating the access rate for files stored on media (1,000 bytes per second), and the second the access rate for communication channels (1,400 bytes per second). Of course, the regulator program 201 can add, modify, and delete associations 129 from the association table 127 , as desired.
- FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of a system 300 for regulating file access rates of processes 107 based upon file type.
- processes 107 to be regulated are loaded by the modified loader program 301 , which also stores the associations 129 .
- a loader program is an operating system utility that is used to execute computer programs that are stored on static media.
- a loader program loads an executable image from static media into user address space 103 of computer memory 101 , and then initiates execution of the loaded image by transferring execution to the first instruction thereof.
- the modified loader 301 loads executable images from static media into user address space 103 . Additionally, the modified loader program 301 stores, in the association table 127 , at least one association 129 between the process 107 and a file access rate. Thus, whenever a process 107 to be regulated is loaded, the association table 127 is updated as needed.
- the modified loader program 301 uses methodology described in detail in the “Selective Interception of System Calls” application in order to associate an individual system call wrapper 111 with the loaded process 107 .
- the system call wrapper 111 associated with the process is loaded into process address space of the process, user address space 103 , or operating system address space 105 as described in the “Selective Interception of System Calls” application.
- the process 107 makes a system call 115 to be intercepted (i.e., a system call 115 that accesses a file) the system call wrapper 111 associated with the process 107 executes, and proceeds to manage the regulation of the file access rate. Regulation of file access rate by system call wrappers 111 generally is discussed in detail below.
- the system call wrapper 111 determines the type of the file being accessed. Once the file type has been determined, the system call wrapper 111 examines the association table 127 to determine whether the process 107 that made the system call 115 is associated with an access rate for that file type. If so, the system call wrapper 111 regulates the file access rate appropriately. Otherwise, access of files of that type by the process 107 is not to be regulated, so the access is allowed to proceed normally. In one embodiment, the determination is made using methodology described in the “Disambiguating File Descriptors” application. Other techniques such as file extension or file name can also be used as desired.
- FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of a system 400 for regulating file access rate.
- the system call wrapper 111 executes a file access rate regulation module 401 in order to regulate the access rate of the file 403 by the process 107 .
- the file access rate regulation module 401 executes in operating system address space 105 , as illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- the file access rate regulation module 401 executes in user address space 103 .
- the file access rate regulation module 401 can either be a section of the system call wrapper (as illustrated), a stand alone program, or a component of a larger application program as desired.
- the file access rate regulation module 401 applies a known rate regulation technique to the access of the file 403 by the process 107 . More specifically, data being written to the file 403 by the process (input to the file 405 ) is routed through the file access rate regulation module 401 . The file access rate regulation module 401 controls the rate at which the input 405 is sent to the file 403 by the process. Likewise, data read by the process 107 from the file (output from the file 407 ) is also routed through the file access rate regulation module 401 , which controls the rate at which the output 407 is sent to the process 107 .
- the file access rate regulation module 401 uses a leaky-bucket regulator to regulate the access rate.
- a leaky-bucket regulator is one specific example of a technique for regulating access rates.
- a leaky-bucket regulator is described in An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking, Srinivasan Keshav, 1997, Addison Wesley, Chapter 7, at pp 403-405, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a leaky-bucket regulator 501 .
- the leaky-bucket regulator 501 stores fixed sized tokens 503 in a data structure known as a token (or leaky) bucket 505 .
- Each token 503 constitutes permission for the regulator 501 to send a certain number of bits to a destination.
- the regulator 501 adds tokens 503 to the bucket 505 at a fixed rate, R.
- the bucket 505 overflows if the number of tokens 503 crosses some threshold, called its depth, D.
- Data arrives at the regulator 501 as input 507 from a source.
- a test module 509 examines the bucket 505 , to determine the sum of the sizes of the tokens 503 therein.
- the regulator 501 only sends the data as output to a destination 511 if the sum equals or exceeds the size of the data.
- the regulator 501 removes tokens 503 corresponding to the output 511 size from the token bucket 505 .
- the input 507 is held as stored data 513 in a data buffer 515 . Once the bucket 505 contains sufficient tokens 503 , the stored data 513 is sent as output 511 .
- a leaky-bucket regulator 501 limits the size of a burst of output 511 to a little more D.
- the size can be slightly greater than D because tokens 503 may be added to the bucket 505 while output 511 equal in size to D is being sent.
- the rate at which output 511 is sent by the regulator 501 is limited by the rate R at which tokens 503 are added to the bucket 505 .
- the leaky-bucket regulator 501 can be used to regulate a process 107 to an access rate for a file type by setting R to that access rate.
- the system call wrapper 111 determines that the file access write for a process 107 is 1,000 bytes per second.
- the system call wrapper passes the rate to the leaky-bucket regulator 501 , which proceeds to set R to the rate.
- the regulator 501 adds 1,000 byte tokens 503 to a bucket 505 at a rate of once per second.
- the system call wrapper 111 then routes the communication between the process 107 and the file through the regulator 501 , which regulates the access rate to 1,000 bytes per second.
- the process 107 is writing data to a file 403 , the input to the file 405 becomes the input 507 to the leaky bucket regulator 501 , and the output 511 from the leaky bucket regulator 501 is sent to the file 403 .
- the process 107 is reading data from a file 403 , the output from the file 407 becomes the input 507 to the leaky bucket regulator 501 , and the output 511 from the leaky bucket regulator 501 is sent to the process 107 .
- file access rate regulation module 401 employs other access rate techniques, for example moving average, jumping average, or peak rate.
