1. A method comprising: receiving a storage request; determining a local cache associated with the storage request, wherein the local cache is selected from a plurality of local caches, wherein each of the plurality of local caches is to store resources that can be accessed exclusively by a single process at one time; determining resources necessary to process the storage request by identifying whether the necessary resources are present in the local cache; reallocating resources necessary to process the storage request from a free cache to the local cache if the necessary resources are not present in the local cache by deciding whether sufficient resources are present in the free cache and transferring some resources from the free cache to the local cache if sufficient resources are not present in the free cache, and by determining whether sufficient resources are present in the local cache and transferring some resources from a global cache to the free cache if the amount of resources in the free cache is below a threshold, wherein the resources include a buffer and wherein a reservation counter keeps track of an amount of resources in the free cache that is reserved for transfer to the local cache, wherein the global cache is to store resources for servicing requests issued from one or more processes at the same time; and processing the storage request utilizing resources in the local cache.
