1. A method for integrating a workload management scheme for a buffer cache in a data storage system with a recycle queue infrastructure, the method comprising: identifying, by a storage server, a workload from a plurality of workloads; allocating at least a portion of the buffer cache in the data storage system to the identified workload; establishing a soft-limit on allowable usage above which additional usage is degraded; determining if the identified workload is exceeding its allocated buffer cache; and if the identified workload is exceeding its allocated buffer cache, by an excess, making at least a portion of the excess amount available for scavenging.
