We present a framework called Hierarchically Interacting Logs (HIL) for constructing Flash Translation Layers (FTLs). The main goal of the HIL framework is to heal the Achilles heel —the crash recovery—of FTLs (hence, its name). Nonetheless, the framework itself is general enough to encompass not only block-mapped and page-mapped FTLs but also many of their variants, including hybrid ones, because of its compositional nature. Crash recovery within the HIL framework proceeds in two phases: structural recovery and functional recovery. During the structural recovery, residual effects due to program operations ongoing at the time of the crash are eliminated in an atomic manner using shadow paging. During the functional recovery, operations that would have been performed if there had been no crash are replayed in a redo-only fashion. Both phases operate in an idempotent manner, preventing repeated crashes during recovery from causing any additional problems. We demonstrate the practicality of the proposed HIL framework by implementing a prototype and showing that its performance during normal execution and also during crash recovery is at least as good as those of state-of-the-art SSDs.
