- the terminal device can execute the file deduplication method during the file writing process.
- the specific process is provided by the file operation module, information processing module, file cache
- the interaction between the module and the file index module includes the following steps:
- the file operation module obtains the write request, and the write request includes the first file.
- the file operation module calls the file cache module to store the first file in the first storage space.
- the file operation module when the file operation module detects the write request of the application, it can intercept the write request, and cache the first file in the write request to the newly added file A cache module (the first storage space). In the file cache module, operations such as calculating feature information, comparing duplicate files, and removing duplicate files are performed, as shown in Figure 7a. After the file cache module executes the file deduplication operation, it uses the standard write function system call to cache the file in the write request to the VFS (the third storage space), and continues to perform the buffer operation in the VFS. Wherein, the cache area operation in Fig.
- FIG. 7a refers to the write request operation not performed in the file cache module, including but not limited to setting flag bits, write check and space allocation, data write-back and other operations.
- the cache area operation in Figure 7a is the same as the cache area operation in the existing write request. For example, a file is divided into multiple pages (page), and each page is executed to set flags, write checks and space allocation, and data Write back and other operations. When multiple pages of the same file are executed with the above buffer operations, the file will be written to the disk, and the system will release the memory occupied by the file.
- the process shown in Figure 7a adopts the two-time cache serial mode, and embeds the interception cache, calculation and deduplication functions in the existing cache; according to the characteristic information of the file, the deduplication operation is performed on the duplicate file, and no longer sends to the system Continue to write duplicate files, discard duplicate files directly from memory; continue to write to the system for non-duplicate files.
- the file operation module when the file operation module detects a write request from the application, the file operation module defines the system and calls the caching (caching) function, and first builds a self-built file cache (section One storage space); through the file cache module, based on the copy_from_user function, the intercepted first file is cached to the self-built file cache at one time, as shown in Figure 7b.
- one-time caching refers to caching all the pages of the same file to the self-built file cache instead of caching each page one by one.
- buffer operations are deferred and simplified.
- the buffer operation includes setting flags M times, writing check and space allocation once, and writing data back N times.
- the characteristic information of the cached files can be calculated in the file caching module shown in FIG. 7b, so as to judge whether the cached files are duplicate files. If it is a duplicate file, discard the duplicate file from the memory; if it is a non-duplicate file, continue to write to the system.
- operations such as buffer operation, feature information calculation, and duplicate file removal may be performed during the closing operation.
- the closing operation is a file operation performed after the writing operation.
- the writing operation such as writing the file into the self-built file cache
- the system can perform the closing operation.
- the closing operation continue to execute the file shown in Figure 7b
- Operations such as cache area operations, feature information calculation, and duplicate file removal can help reduce system write operation overhead.
- the information processing module determines the feature information of the first file through a sampling algorithm. Specifically, the information processing module adopts a sample hash algorithm to obtain sample data of the first file, and determine feature information of the first file according to the sample data of the first file. It can be seen that the information processing module only needs to sample a small amount of file data to obtain feature information, which is beneficial to reduce system overhead.
- the information processing module may also determine the characteristic information of the first file according to the sampling data of the first file and the file information of the first file.
- the feature information may include but not limited to fingerprint information, file ID, etc.
- the file information may include but not limited to file type, file size, etc. It can be understood that the characteristic information of the first file calculated and determined in combination with the sampled data of the first file and the file information of the first file can better reflect the uniqueness of the first file.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of sampling and calculating characteristic information provided by an embodiment of the present application.
- the first storage space can be regarded as data in a tree structure, and files are stored in pages.
- the information processing module can obtain the sampling data of the file through the sampling hash algorithm.
- the partial data of sampling page1, page3 and page5 respectively constitute the first segment cyclic redundancy check (cyclic redundancy check, CRC), the middle segment CRC and the tail segment CRC of the sampled data, as shown in FIG. 8 .
- CRC cyclic redundancy check
- middle segment CRC middle segment CRC
- tail segment CRC of the sampled data
- feature information is determined, for example, it is also called a fingerprint (fingerprint, FP) of the file.
- the information processing module keeps the overhead of calculating characteristic information basically stable through sampling calculation, thereby reducing the impact of sampling and calculating characteristic information on the writing performance of the storage system.
- the information processing module judges whether there is a second file in the second storage space according to the first file, and the second file is the same as the first file.
- the specific judging method includes: the information processing module determines the feature information of the first file, and determines whether there is a third file in the index directory according to the feature information of the first file, and the file name of the third file is the same as the first file.
- the feature information of one file is the same, and the third file is associated with the storage address of the second file in the second storage space.
- the feature information of the second file is the same as that of the first file in the second storage space, it means that the second file is the same as the first file, and the first file is a duplicate file.
- feature information is unique information. When the feature information of the first file is the same as that of the second file, it can be determined that the first file and the second file are the same file.
- the file operation module associates the link identifier of the first file with the second file, and the link identifier of the first file is used to obtain the first file. That is to say, when the first file is a duplicate file, the link identifier of the first file is associated with the second file, so that when the first file is searched, the second file identical to the first file can be obtained. After the link identifier of the first file is associated with the second file, even if the first file is deleted, the same file (that is, the second file) can be found through the link identifier of the first file, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the file orientation path sex.

- the link identifier of the file is used to obtain the file.
- the right part of FIG. 9 shows some directory entries of the file directory (including the link identifier of the file and the number of repetitions of writing the file). It can be understood that the file directory is stored in the second storage space. For example, inode1 of file A included in the write request.
- the terminal device stores the file A in the first storage space, and judges whether there is a second file in the second storage space, and the second file is the same as the file A.
- the specific judgment method for example, the information processing module judges whether there is a second file in the second storage space according to the characteristic information of the file A, and the characteristic information of the second file is the same as the characteristic information of the file A. If there is no second file, it means that file A is not a duplicate file.
- the file included in the write request again is file D, and the link identifier of file D is inode1.
- the terminal device stores the file D in the first storage space, and judges whether there is a second file in the second storage space, and the second file is the same as the file D.
- the specific judgment method for example, the information processing module judges whether there is a second file in the second storage space according to the characteristic information of the file D, and the characteristic information of the second file is the same as the characteristic information of the file D. If the feature information of file A and file D is the same, it means that file D is the same as file A, and file D is a duplicate file.
- the file operation module associates the link identifier of file D with the link identifier of file A. For example, inode1 of file D points to repeated inode1. At this time, the number of file write repetitions corresponding to inode1 is updated to 2, as It is shown in the second row and the second column of the table on the right side of Fig. 9 .
- FIG. 10 shows a link correspondence after file deduplication.
- the number of repetitions of inode1 is 2, which means that the same files are all linked to inode1.
- the file system only needs to store the same file once.
- the duplicate files will eventually be discarded from the memory, and no external storage write operations will be generated, so that low-overhead file deduplication can be completed in the file access path.
- the link correspondence shown in FIG. 10 still includes file D, so it is indifferent to upper-layer applications.
- the operations of the file index module on the index directory may include but not limited to creating fingerprints, inserting fingerprints, retrieving fingerprints, deleting fingerprints, and the like.
- creating an index directory a file in the index directory is created according to the characteristic information of the file, and the file name is a fingerprint.
- non-duplicate files insert a file into the index directory according to the characteristic information of the non-duplicate files, and the file name is the fingerprint of the non-duplicate files.
- the above steps may specifically be:
- the file operation module judges whether the current write request is a write request sent by social software according to the application ID of the process; if it is a write request sent by social software, the file operation module intercepts it The write request calls the file cache module to create a unique cache space (first storage space) for the target file in the kernel for caching its write data.
- the information processing module calls the sampling data of the first file in the first storage space to determine the characteristic information of the first file; and Whether there is feature information of the second file in the index directory is searched, and the feature information of the second file is the same as the feature information of the first file. If the same characteristic information is retrieved in the index directory, it is determined that the first file is a duplicate file, and the file operation module executes the operation of removing duplicate files as shown in FIG. 9 .
- the file operation module calls the first file in the first storage space to replace the cached data in the second storage space in the file system, And set the flag bit, so that the data of the first file can be synchronized back to the flash memory by the background thread of the file system.

本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种文件去重方法、装置和设备。
终端设备存储空间消耗快,存储空间不足是用户换机关键因素之一。随着移动互联网及智能终端等设备的普遍应用,社交过程所产生的重复文件越来越多,占用大量空间。为了降低重复文件对存储空间的占用,当前已经有一些用于文件去重的应用(例如各种手机清理工具),手机清理工具可以提供用户入口,用户手动启动后可扫描及识别出终端设备中的重复文件,获得扫描结果,并将扫描结果提供给用户;用户通过手动操作,逐个确认及删除重复文件。但是,采用这种方式扫描时间长,而且需要用户逐个选择及清除重复文件,耗时较长;并且由于每个文件可能都是对应到一个社交软件交互窗口,直接删除重复文件后可能导致交互窗口显示异常或对话不可用。因此,如何在用户和应用无感的情况下有效地去除重复文件成为待解决的问题。

在本申请实施例中,“/”可以表示前后关联的对象是一种“或”的关系,例如,A/B可以表示A或B;“和/或”可以用于描述关联对象存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。为了便于描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请实施例中,可以采用“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能相同或相似的技术特征进行区分。该“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。在本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示例子、例证或说明,被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念,便于理解。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
终端设备存储空间消耗快,存储空间不足是用户换机关键因素之一。随着移动互联网及智能终端等设备的普遍应用,社交过程所产生的重复文件越来越多,占用大量空间。例如,从部分调研数据看,在部分用户保有清理文件的习惯的前提下,超过1/4的用户的重复文件所占容量大于2千兆字节(Gigabyte,GB);调研对象中重复文件最高达16.49GB,甚至更多。
因此,为了降低重复文件对存储空间的占用,一方面,当前已经有一些用于文件去重的应用(例如各种手机清理工具)。其中,手机清理工具可以提供用户入口,用户手动启动后可扫描及识别出终端设备中的重复文件,获得扫描结果,并将扫描结果提供给用户。用户通过手动操作,逐个确认及删除重复文件。例如,图1a示出了一种用户手动操作执行文件去重功能时的流程。其中,终端设备的显示界面将显示目前***已被占用的存储空间、垃圾文件、重复文件等信息。用户可以手动选择清理重复文件,终端设备的显示界面将显示多个重复文件和文件的来源,如图1a所示。但是,采用这种方式扫描时间长,而且需要用户逐个选择及清除重复文件,耗时较长;并且由于每个文件可能都是对应到一个社交软件交互窗口,直接删除重复文件后可能导致交互窗口显示异常或对话不可用。例如,图1b示出了一种用户手动 操作执行文件去重功能后文件异常的情况。由于用户在清理重复文件时直接删除重复文件,当用户再次打开社交软件交互窗口查找图片时,导致交互窗口无法正常显示原图片。
另一方面,目前还存在通过提供应用程序接口(application interface,API)模式实现文件去重的方案。例如,苹果文件***(Apple file system,APFS)具有写时复制功能。若用户操作为复制存储在APFS上的文件,并将其复制到同一APFS文件***上的另一个文件夹,则APFS将创建一个标记为“写时复制”的新文件,并指向原始文件的所有存储。但是,这种文件去重方案中APFS不会尝试确定现有文件或从外部源复制的文件是否与文件***上已有的任何文件匹配。并且该方案需要提供API,需应用生态配合修改,导致应用场景极大的受限。
因此,如何在用户和应用无感的情况下有效地去除重复文件成为待解决的问题。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种文件去重方法,该文件去重方法能够有效去除重复文件,减少存储空间占用;并且该文件去重方法应用于终端设备中时,对终端设备中的应用无感,也无需用户进行复杂的操作,降低***的处理开销。
其中,本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法可以应用于终端设备,或者部署在云上的设备中。可选的,该文件去重方法还可以应用于由终端设备控制的对云上的文件进行文件去重的场景中。下面首先介绍本申请以下实施例中提供的示例性终端设备。

图4a为本申请实施例提供的一种实现文件去重方法的模块化流程图。图4a以终端设备内部的模块化流程为例进行描述。可以理解,当本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法应用于云上,或者应用于终端与云上的交互场景中时,也存在类似于图4a的模块化流程。其中,终端设备中的现有的文件访问流程包括:当应用程序发起文件访问请求时,***通过写操作(write)将文件访问请求中的文件直接写入VFS中的文件缓存,然后将文件访问请求中的文件写入文件***。进一步,还可以将文件写入驱动和闪存(flash)中。也就是说,现有的文件访问流程中直接通过写操作将文件写入内存空间和外存空间,不能实现对重复文件的判断和在线文件去重。图4a所示的实现文件去重方法的模块化流程主要包括文件操作模块、文件缓存模块、信息处理模块、文件索引模块和VFS等。其中,区别于现有的文件访问流程,图4a所示的文件缓存模块为内存空间中新建的缓存模块,用于拦截***的写操作,缓存写操作中的文件;并结合信息处理模块和文件索引模块,实现对缓存的文件计算特征信息,根据特征信息判断文件是否为重复文件,对重复文件进行在线去重。在图4a所示的模块化流程中,当文件缓存模块、信息处理模块和文件索引模块执行上述操作后,再将非重复文件继续写入VFS,并写入文件***/块设备层/驱动/闪存中,完成文件访问流程。采用图4a所示的文件去重流程,需要在现有的内存空间中新增一个缓存空间,用于实现在线文件去重。应注意,图4a所示的文件缓存模块主要用于执行文件对比和文件去重的操作,文件访问流程中的缓存区操作(例如设置标志位、写检查与空间分配等操作)仍然由VFS中的文件缓存来执行。
图4b为本申请实施例提供的另一种实现文件去重方法的模块化流程图。图4b以终端设备内部的模块化流程为例进行描述。可以理解,当本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法应用于云上,或者应用于终端与云上的交互场景中时,也存在类似于图4b的模块化流程。其中,区别于现有的文件访问流程,图4b所示的文件缓存模块对原有的文件缓存进行了增强,例如新增了对缓存的文件计算特征信息、文件比对和文件去重等功能,从而实现在线文件去重;文件访问流程中的缓存区操作(例如设置标志位、写检查与空间分配等操作)也由图4b所示的文件缓存模块来执行,但是执行的顺序与现有文件访问流程相比有延迟。也就是说,图4b所示的VFS中的文件缓存将不执行写操作(例如不再执行缓冲区操作)。
综上所述,在图4a或图4b所示的模块化流程中,本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法流程可以是嵌入现有的文件访问流程中,不需要独立的后台线程,有利于降低***的写开销。并且,本申请实施例新建了文件缓存模块,用于实现在线文件去重。
为了便于理解,下面对本申请实施例涉及的相关名词进行介绍。
1、文件操作模块:用于拦截应用程序的文件访问请求,调用文件缓存模块缓存数据,调用信息处理模块识别重复文件,结合文件缓存模块和信息处理模块去除重复文件或保存非重复文件。
2、文件缓存模块:用于构建独立的自建文件缓存空间,并通过自建文件缓存空间缓存拦 截的文件。例如,采用图4a所示的方式在现有的内存空间中新建一个缓存空间,缓存并存放拦截的文件数据;或者图4b所示的方式采用自建文件缓存空间替换VFS的文件缓存中的文件缓存,用于存放拦截的文件数据。
3、信息处理模块:用于从文件缓存模块中获取文件数据并计算文件的特征信息,还用于向文件索引模块发起特征信息检索请求或新增特征信息的请求。
4、文件索引模块:用于构建及维护索引目录,在索引目录中检索目标特征信息。其中,索引目录可以视为一种类数据库,该索引目录不会占用内存。
5、文件目录:用于记录文件***中存储的文件。文件目录中的目录项包括但不限于文件名,文件的链接标识、文件的重复次数等。
6、文件的特征信息:用于指示每一个文件具有唯一性的信息。文件的特征信息可以包括但不限于指纹,文件ID等。例如,对于两个文件(文件1和文件2),当文件1和文件2的内容不相同时,文件1的指纹1和文件2的指纹2是不相同的,即指纹1用于标识文件1,指纹2用于标识文件2。可选的,当文件1和文件2的内容相同时(包括但不限于文件1和文件2的内容相同且文件名相同,文件1和文件2的内容相同且文件名不相同),文件1和文件2的指纹相同(例如都为指纹1)。
7、索引目录:一种数据存取模式,在***中创建一个目录作为索引目录。例如,本申请实施例中的索引目录可以是一种特征信息的索引表。其中,该索引目录是由文件索引模块采取基于文件目录的索引方式构建与维护的。索引目录包括一条或多条特征信息索引,例如包括多条指纹索引。每一条指纹索引对应一个索引目录中的文件,文件名是指纹,文件对应的链接标识(inode)表示指纹对应的文件的inode。例如,图5为本申请实施例提供的一种索引目录的示意图。其中,***中包括文件A、文件B和文件C,文件A的链接标识为inode1,文件B的链接标识为inode2,文件C的链接标识为inode3。在构建索引目录时,针对文件A,首先计算文件A的特征信息(即计算文件A的指纹),生成指纹A1,并且指纹A1指向文件A的链接标识inode1,则生成索引目录中的一条指纹索引:指纹A1-inode1。类似的,针对文件B和文件C等文件,生成索引目录中的其他指纹索引:指纹B2-inode2、指纹C3-inode3等,如图5所示。其中,通过将文件指纹和文件的链接标识相关联,使得在查找索引目录时,可以直接通过链接标识获取文件所在的位置,从而有利于实现更高效的文件查找。
下面将结合图4a和图4b,以安卓***为例,详细描述该文件访问方法应用于安卓***终端设备时的应用实施例。
图6为本申请实施例提供的一种在采用安卓***的终端设备中面向应用程序实现文件去重功能的流程示意图。该场景中,终端设备中的应用程序在请求写入文件时,终端设备可以在文件写入过程中执行文件去重方法,具体流程由本申请实施例提供的文件操作模块、信息处理模块、文件缓存模块和文件索引模块之间的交互实现,包括以下步骤:
1、在应用程序请求写入文件时,文件操作模块获取写请求,写请求中包括第一文件。文件操作模块调用文件缓存模块,将第一文件存储于第一存储空间。
一种实现方式中,在图4a所示模块化流程中,当文件操作模块检测到应用程序的写请求时,可以拦截该写请求,并将写请求中的第一文件缓存至新增的文件缓存模块(第一存储空间)。在文件缓存模块中执行计算特征信息、重复文件对比、去除重复文件等操作,如图7a所示。当文件缓存模块执行完文件去重操作后,再采用标准write函数***调用,将写请求中的文件缓存至VFS(第三存储空间),在VFS中继续执行缓存区操作。其中,图7a中的缓存区操作是指在文件缓存模块中未执行的写请求操作,包括但不限于设置标志位、写检查与空 间分配、数据写回等操作。图7a中的缓存区操作与现有写请求中的缓存区操作是相同的,例如,将一个文件分为多页(page),对每一个page执行设置标志位、写检查与空间分配、数据写回等操作。当同一文件的多个page都被执行上述缓存区操作后,该文件将被写入磁盘,同时***将释放该文件占用的内存。可见,图7a所示的流程中采用两次缓存串行模式,在现有缓存中嵌入拦截缓存、计算及去重功能;根据文件的特征信息,对重复文件执行去重操作,不再向***继续写入重复文件,直接从内存中丢弃重复文件;对非重复文件继续写入***。
一种实现方式中,在图4b所示模块化流程中,当文件操作模块检测到应用程序的写请求时,文件操作模块自定义***调用缓存(caching)函数,首先构建自建文件缓存(第一存储空间);通过文件缓存模块基于从用户复制(copy_from_user)函数将拦截的第一文件一次性缓存至自建文件缓存,如图7b所示。其中,一次性缓存是指将同一文件的page全部都缓存至自建文件缓存,而不是按照每一个page逐个缓存。在一次性缓存的实现方式中,缓存区操作将被推迟和简化。例如,针对M个page,缓存区操作包括设置标志位M次、写检查与空间分配1次、数据写回N次。其中,在图7b所示的文件缓存模块中可以计算已缓存的文件的特征信息,从而判断已缓存的文件是否为重复文件。若为重复文件,则从内存中丢弃重复文件;若为非重复文件,则继续写入***。可见,图7b所示的流程中构建独立的自建文件缓存来缓存文件数据,一次实现计算文件特征信息以及向下写入缓存,实现整个去重操作只有一次数据拷贝;同时将缓存操作优化推迟,重复数据最终将从内存中丢弃,不产生外存写操作,实现在文件访问的路径中完成低开销的文件去重。
可选的,图7b所示的实现方式中,缓存区操作、计算特征信息和去除重复文件等操作可以是在关闭操作的过程中执行。其中,关闭操作为写操作之后执行的文件操作,当写操作(例如文件写入自建文件缓存)执行完成后,***可以执行关闭操作,在执行关闭操作的过程中,继续执行图7b所示的缓存区操作、计算特征信息和去除重复文件等操作,从而有利于降低***写操作开销。
2、信息处理模块通过抽样算法确定第一文件的特征信息。具体的,信息处理模块采用一种抽样哈希的算法,获取第一文件的抽样数据,并根据第一文件的抽样数据确定第一文件的特征信息。可见,信息处理模块仅需要抽样少量文件数据用于获取特征信息,有利于降低***开销。可选的,信息处理模块还可以根据第一文件的抽样数据和第一文件的文件信息,确定第一文件的特征信息。其中,特征信息可以包括但不限于指纹信息、文件ID等,文件信息可以包括但不限于文件类型、文件大小等。可以理解,结合第一文件的抽样数据和第一文件的文件信息计算确定的第一文件的特征信息更能够体现第一文件的唯一性。
例如,图8为本申请实施例提供的一种抽样计算特征信息的示意图。其中,第一存储空间可以视为一种树型结构的数据,文件存储于page中。信息处理模块可以通过抽样哈希算法,获取文件的抽样数据。例如抽样page1、page3和page5的部分数据,分别构成抽样数据的首段循环冗余校验(cyclic redundancy check,CRC)、中段CRC和尾段CRC,如图8所示。再结合文件信息(例如文件类型、文件大小等信息),确定特征信息,例如也称为文件的指纹(fingerprint,FP)。其中,信息处理模块通过抽样计算的方式会使得计算特征信息的开销基本保持稳定,从而降低了抽样计算特征信息对存储***写入性能的影响。
3、信息处理模块根据第一文件,判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件与第一文件相同。一种实现方式中,具体的判断方法包括:信息处理模块确定第一文件的特征信息,并根据第一文件的特征信息,确定索引目录中是否存在第三文件,第三文件的文件名与第一文件的特征信息相同,第三文件与第二文件在第二存储空间中的存储地址相关联。其中, 若第二存储空间中存在第二文件的特征信息与第一文件的特征信息相同,则表示第二文件与第一文件相同,则第一文件为重复文件。应注意,特征信息是具有唯一性的一种信息,当第一文件的特征信息与第二文件的特征信息相同时,可以确定第一文件和第二文件为相同的文件。
4、在存在第二文件的情况下,文件操作模块将第一文件的链接标识与第二文件相关联,第一文件的链接标识用于获取第一文件。也就是说,当第一文件为重复文件时,将第一文件的链接标识与第二文件相关联,使得当查找第一文件时,可以获取与第一文件相同的第二文件。当第一文件的链接标识与第二文件关联上之后,即使第一文件被删除,通过第一文件的链接标识也可以查找到相同的文件(即第二文件),从而保证文件方位路径的准确性。
例如,图9为本申请实施例提供的一种对重复文件的操作流程的示意图。图9中的左边部分为文件访问列表,示出了写请求中包括的文件和文件的链接标识。其中,该文件访问列表包括两列,第一列为文件名,第二列为文件的链接标识(inode)。其中,文件的链接标识用于获取该文件。图9中的右边部分示出了文件目录的部分目录项(包括文件的链接标识和文件写入重复次数)。可以理解,文件目录存储于第二存储空间。例如,写请求中包括的文件A的inode1。终端设备将文件A存储于第一存储空间中,并判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件与文件A相同。具体判断方式,例如信息处理模块根据文件A的特征信息,判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件的特征信息与文件A的特征信息相同。若不存在第二文件,则表示文件A不为重复文件。将文件A写入文件目录中。由于文件A为首次写入,文件A的写入重复次数为1。再一次写请求中包括的文件为文件D,文件D的链接标识为inode1。终端设备将文件D存储于第一存储空间中,并判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件与文件D相同。具体判断方式,例如信息处理模块根据文件D的特征信息,判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件的特征信息与文件D的特征信息相同。若文件A与文件D的特征信息相同,则表示文件D与文件A相同,文件D为重复文件。在这种情况下,文件操作模块将文件D的链接标识与文件A的链接标识相关联,例如文件D的inode1指向被重复的inode1,此时inode1对应的文件写入重复次数更新为2,如图9的右边表格的第二行第二列所示。
通过该方法,不需要重复进行实质写操作,只需要将重复文件的链接标识通过硬链接的方式与已存储的相同文件相关联,以便在后续调用时通过链接标识获取已存储的相同文件。例如,图10为文件去重后的一种链接对应关系。其中,inode1的重复次数为2,表示存在相同的文件都链接到inode1。文件***只需要存储一次相同的文件。这种情况下,重复文件最终将从内存中丢弃,不产生外存写操作,实现在文件访问的路径中完成低开销的文件去重。并且,图10所示的链接对应关系中仍然包括文件D,则对于上层应用是无感的。可见,***将不存在额外的数据拷贝,不与其他进程争夺计算资源,有利于降低文件写开销。并且去重过程是在输入输出(input/output,I/O)路径上完成的,不需要后台线程或服务离线响应。
一种实现方式中,文件索引模块对索引目录的操作可以包括但不限于创建指纹、***指纹、检索指纹、删除指纹等。例如,在新建索引目录时,根据文件的特征信息创建索引目录中的文件,文件名为指纹。又例如,针对非重复文件,根据非重复文件的特征信息在索引目录中***一个文件,文件名为非重复文件的指纹。
一种实现方式中,在图6所示的操作流程中,当安卓***的终端设备面向社交软件执行文件去重方法时,上述步骤具体还可以是:
1、在安卓内核库中,修改典型写操作的代码:文件操作模块根据进程的应用ID判断当 前的写请求是否为社交软件发出的写请求;如果是社交软件发出的写请求,文件操作模块拦截该写请求,并调用文件缓存模块在内核中为目标文件建立独有的缓存空间(第一存储空间),用于缓存其写数据。
2、在安卓内核库中,修改典型关闭操作的代码:如果是社交软件发出的关闭请求,信息处理模块调用第一存储空间中第一文件的抽样数据,确定第一文件的特征信息;并在索引目录中检索是否存在第二文件的特征信息,第二文件的特征信息与第一文件的特征信息相同。若在索引目录中检索到相同的特征信息,则确定第一文件为重复文件,文件操作模块执行如图9所示的文件去重的操作。若在索引目录中未检索到相同的特征信息,则确定第一文件不为重复文件,文件操作模块调用第一存储空间中的第一文件替换文件***中的第二存储空间中的缓存数据,并设置标志位,使得第一文件的数据能够被文件***的后台线程同步回闪存。
下面对终端设备采用本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法的效果进行分析对比。表1为本申请实施例提供的一种存储空间对比表。其中,表1示出了在多次操作后,未去重设备空间占用和去重设备空间占用的对比。其中,多次操作可以包括但不限于:使用社交软件多次发送(视频/PPT/图片文件等)、使用浏览器多次保存文件到***存储,从一个应用多次调用视频/PPT/图片到其他应用(如从社交软件保存图片到图库,从图库调用文件到社交软件)。
表1:存储空间对比表
可见,采用本申请实施例提供的文件访问方法,当应用程序多次进行重复操作时,终端设备的存储空间占用将不会依次增加,有利于降低存储空间的占用,并且对应用是无影响的。
一种示例中,如图6所示的操作流程为终端设备内部***的操作,对用户来说是不可见的。但是,为了优化用户体验,呈现技术价值,终端设备还可以通过界面显示或语音提示等方式向用户展示文件去重的效果。
一种实现方式中,终端设备默认关闭文件去重功能,需要经过用户授权才能开启文件去重功能。具体实现方式可以是获取指令,该指令指示开启文件去重功能;响应于该指令,执行获取写请求的操作。例如,终端设备在***设置等相关操作处提供文件去重功能的开关按钮,或者在新***安装、升级等环节向用户提示是否开启文件去重功能。若用户确定开启文件去重功能,用户可以在***设置中开启文件去重功能的开关按钮;对于终端设备来说,用户的这一操作转换为指令,该指令指示开启文件去重功能。响应于该指令,执行获取写请求的操作。
在开启文件去重功能的实现方式中,终端设备可以在输出用户提示。例如,在用户授权开启文件去重功能的界面或***升级提示界面中输出用户提示,用户提示可以包括但不限于:提示***可自动实时(或定时)实现应用透明、用户不用参与、开销极低的去重,实现存储 节省相关功能,如图11所示。又例如,终端设备可以通过语音播报的方式输出用户提示,向用户播报***可以自动实时(或定时)实现文件去重功能。
在开启文件去重功能的实现方式中,终端设备可以生成提示信息,提示信息可以包括但不限于:已删除重复文件的提示、删除重复文件所释放的存储容量、删除重复文件的数量、重复文件的文件类型等。例如,在用户授权开启文件去重功能的界面中输出文件去重提示信息,该文件去重提示信息包括但不限于:提示***按累计,年,月,日等统计呈现(应用无感、用户不用参与)自动优化存储空间20GB,优化1000组内容相同文件,类别为视频等,如图11所示。
一种示例中,如图6所示的操作流程为终端设备内部***的操作,为了方便***及应用开发,终端设备还可以生成记录日志,记录日志包括但不限于:索引目录中的数据、第一文件标识对应的存储位置、第一存储空间中的数据、删除重复文件所释放的存储容量、删除重复文件的数量、删除重复文件的文件类型。例如,终端设备可以生成文件去重功能的记录日志。该记录日志包括索引目录中的数据(例如索引目录中包括的一个或多个文件分别的特征信息和文件地址,可以是直接提供特征信息值和文件地址值,不用显示索引目录的数据结构),已删除的重复文件所释放的存储容量的具体值(例如已删除的重复文件所释放的存储容量为6GB),已删除的重复文件的数量(例如已删除重复文件1000组)等。
一种实现方式中,终端设备通过提供API给外部设备,使得外部设备可以通过API调用文件去重功能。例如,为方便***及应用开发、调试文件去重功能,终端设备提供调试API,以使外部设备可以调用文件去重功能,例如通过API调用文件操作模块和信息处理模块等,使得外部设备可以执行文件去重功能,如图12所示。可以理解,当外部设备通过API调用实现文件去重的功能模块时,文件操作模块、信息处理模块、文件缓存模块和文件索引模块之间的交互参考图6实施例中的描述,此处不再赘述。该实现方式中的外部设备例如可以是服务器,当服务器通过API调用文件去重功能时,可以实现对服务器的自动文件去重,能够有效去除重复文件。
下面对本申请实施例提供的文件去重方法的具体流程进行详细的描述。
图13为本申请实施例提供的一种文件去重方法的流程示意图,该文件去重方法流程由终端设备或者部署在云上的设备所执行,包括以下步骤:
S101,获取写请求,写请求中包括第一文件。
其中,写请求用于请求写入文件,请求写入文件的方式可以是应用程序发起文件访问请求,例如,通过pwrite函数等控制信令执行写操作。
S102,响应于写请求,存储第一文件,第一文件存储于第一存储空间。
当拦截写请求后,可以缓存写请求中包括的第一文件,具体实现方式参考图4a或图4b中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。
S103,确定第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件与第一文件相同,第二存储空间与第一存储空间位于存储***的不同层。
其中,第一存储空间与第二存储空间位于存储***的不同层,表示第一存储空间和第二存储空间是层级上的不同。例如,第一存储空间为内存空间(例如缓存),第二存储空间为外存空间(例如磁盘)。也就是说,在文件访问过程中,将写请求中的第一文件暂存至内存空间,不写入外存空间,有利于降低写入外存空间的开销。并且判断第一文件是否为重复文件后,若为重复文件则直接从内存空间中删除第一文件,实现在线文件去重。
一种实现方式中,为了减少写入性能的损失,本申请实施例中通过抽样文件的部分数据 来确定文件的特征信息。终端设备根据第一文件的抽样数据,确定第一文件的特征信息。具体实现方式,参考图8所示的一种通过抽样数据确定特征信息的方法,此处不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,在不存在第二文件的情况下,将第一文件存储于第三存储空间,并在第三存储空间内对第一文件执行缓存区操作;执行完缓存区操作后,将第一文件存储于第二存储空间。例如,如图4a所示的内存空间中,第一存储空间是指文件缓存模块占用的缓存空间,第三存储空间是指VFS中的文件缓存。其中,第一存储空间的数据结构与第三存储空间的数据结构相同。例如,第一存储空间采用缓存的数据结构,在第一存储空间中可以执行缓存文件的操作;第三存储空间也采用缓存的数据结构,在第三存储空间中也可以执行缓存文件的操作。该实现方式实现整个去重操作过程中有两次串行数据拷贝,具体实现方式参考图4a和图7a中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。在执行完缓存区操作后,将第一文件从内存空间写入外存空间,完成文件访问流程。
一种实现方式中,在不存在第二文件的情况下,在第一存储空间内对第一文件执行缓存区操作;执行完缓存区操作后,将第一文件存储于第二存储空间。例如,如图4b所示的内存空间中,第一存储空间包括文件缓存模块占用的缓存空间,以及VFS中的文件缓存。该实现方式实现整个去重操作过程中只有一次数据拷贝,具体实现方式参考图4b和图7b中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。在执行完缓存区操作后,将第一文件从内存空间写入外存空间,完成文件访问流程。
一种实现方式中,在存在第二文件的情况下,将第一文件的链接标识与第二文件相关联,并从第一存储空间中删除第一文件。其中,第一文件的链接标识用于获取第一文件。具体实现方式,参考图9中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,当确定第一文件的特征信息后,根据第一文件的特征信息确定索引目录中是否存在第三文件,第三文件的文件名与第一文件的特征信息相同,第三文件与第二文件在第二存储空间中的存储地址相关联。其中,索引目录如图5所示。例如,计算第一文件的特征信息为指纹A1。通过查找如图5所示的索引目录,确定索引目录中存在指纹A1。则表示第一文件与第三文件的文件名相同,从而可以推导第三文件关联的文件A与第一文件为相同的文件,即第一文件为重复文件。其中,当索引目录中存在第三文件时,将第一文件的链接标识与第二文件相关联。具体实现方式,参考图9所示的一种文件关联的方式,此处不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,在索引目录中不存在第三文件的情况下,按照正常的文件访问流程将该第一文件写入文件***。
一种实现方式中,在索引目录中不存在第三文件的情况下,在索引目录中新建第四文件,第四文件的文件名为第一文件的特征信息,第四文件与第一文件在第二存储空间中的存储地址相关联。也就是说,当第一文件不为重复文件时,可以在索引目录中***新的指纹,从而有利于终端设备后续对其他文件的判断。例如,当再次拦截的写请求中包括第五文件时,判断索引目录中是否存在文件名与第五文件的特征信息相同。
一种实现方式中,该文件去重方法还包括以下步骤:
生成提示信息,提示信息包括以下一种或多种:已删除重复文件的提示、删除重复文件所释放的存储容量、删除重复文件的数量、重复文件的文件类型。具体实现方式,参考前文实施例中对生成提示信息的描述,此处不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,该文件去重方法还包括以下步骤:
生成记录日志,记录日志包括以下一项或多项内容:索引目录中的数据、第一文件标识 对应的存储位置、第一存储空间中的数据、删除重复文件所释放的存储容量、删除重复文件的数量、删除重复文件的文件类型。具体实现方式,参考前文实施例中对输出记录日志的描述,此处不再赘述。
一种实现方式中,该文件去重方法还包括以下步骤:
获取指令,该指令指示开启文件去重功能;
响应于该指令,执行获取写请求的操作。
具体实现方式,参考图11中对输出文件访问授权界面的描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供了一种文件去重方法,该文件去重方法通过获取写请求,将写请求中的第一文件存储于第一存储空间中,并判断第二存储空间中是否存在第二文件,第二文件与第一文件相同。该方法能够有效去除终端设备的重复文件,减少存储空间占用;并且对应用无感,也无需用户进行复杂的操作,降低***的处理开销。并且,当第一文件的数据被删除后,通过第一文件的链接标识也可以查询到相同的第二文件,从而不影响文件的访问流程。
一种示例中,图14为本申请实施例提供的一种文件查找方法的流程示意图。该文件查找方法也可以由终端设备或者部署在云上的设备所执行,包括以下步骤:
S201,获取第一文件,并确定第一文件的特征信息。
其中,本实施例中的第一文件可以是写请求中包括的文件。例如,在线模式下当检测到写请求时,获取写请求中包括的第一文件。第一文件也可以是已写入文件***中的文件。例如,离线模式下检测文件***中的一个或多个文件,并分别确定一个或多个文件分别的特征信息。
一种实现方式中,根据第一文件的抽样数据,确定第一文件的特征信息。其中,抽样数据是通过采样算法从第一文件的数据中获取的部分数据。具体实现方式,参考图6和图8实施例中对确定第一文件的特征信息以及对抽样数据获取方法的描述,此处不再赘述。可以理解,通过抽样的方式获取第一文件的特征信息,有利于降低数据处理的开销。
S202,根据第一文件的特征信息,确定索引目录中是否存在第三文件,第三文件的文件名与第一文件的特征信息相同。
其中,第三文件为索引目录中的文件,第三文件与第二文件的在第二存储空间的存储地址相关联,即表示第三文件所指向的第二文件已写入磁盘中,是***中已存在的文件。通过索引目录,可以查找***中是否已存在与第一文件相同的文件。
一种实现方式中,在索引目录中不存在第三文件的情况下,将第一文件存储于第二存储空间,并在索引目录中增加第四文件,第四文件的文件名为第一文件的特征信息,第四文件与第一文件的存储地址相关联。例如,计算第一文件的特征信息为指纹D4。通过查找如图5所示的索引目录,确定索引目录中不存在指纹D4。则表示***中不存在与第一文件相同的文件,第一文件为非重复文件。在如图5所示的索引目录中***第四文件,第四文件的文件名为指纹D4,并且第四文件指向第一文件在第二存储空间中的存储地址。
一种实现方式中,在索引目录中存在第三文件的情况下,将第一文件的链接标识与第二文件相关联,并从第一存储空间中删除第一文件。其中,第一文件的链接标识用于获取第一文件。具体实现方式,参考图9和图10实施例中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供一种文件查找方法,该文件查找方法获取第一文件,并确定第一文件的特征信息;根据第一文件的特征信息,确定索引目录中是否存在第三文件,第三文件的文件名与第一文件的特征信息相同。通过索引目录查找的方式有利于简化文件的查找流程。并且,当第一文件为重复文件,且重复文件被删除后,若需要访问对应的文件,可以访问到第 一文件的特征信息链接到的第二文件(与第一文件相同的文件),从而保持正常的文件访问。
