The techniques include creating a dependency relationship between a parent metadata page and a child metadata page, receiving one or more new delta updates of the parent metadata page, and writing, to a metadata delta log, the new delta updates of the parent metadata page as specialized delta update entries that preserve or maintain the new delta update values and their corresponding original (old) delta update values. By preserving or maintaining both the new delta update values and the corresponding old delta update values of the parent metadata page in the metadata delta log, constraints pertaining to the order of de-staging the delta updates of the parent and child metadata pages can be reduced. | 2022-07-14 |
20220221993 | READ ERROR RECOVERY - Systems and methods are disclosed, including maintaining an error recovery data structure for a set of codewords (CWs) in a storage system, the error recovery data structure storing indications that specific CWs are correctable or not correctable by specific error handing (EH) steps of a set of multiple EH steps, and determine an order of EH steps for the storage system based on the error recovery data structure. Maintaining the error recovery data structure can include determining if each CW of the set of CWs is correctable by a specific EH step, storing indications of CWs determined correctable by the specific EH step in the error recovery data structure, and, in response to determining that one or more CW in the set of CWs are not indicated as correctable in the error recovery data structure, incrementing the specific EH step. | 2022-07-14 |
20220221994 | Memory access apparatus and method having address scrambling mechanism - The present invention discloses a memory access apparatus having address scrambling mechanism that includes an address scrambling circuit and a memory controller. The address scrambling circuit performs the steps outlined below. An original access address is received to be interpreted into original unit indexes and a minimal original unit according to regional unit levels of a memory. Scrambled unit indexes and a minimal scrambled unit are generated correspondingly according to a random address generation algorithm, to further generate a scrambled access address accordingly, in which when a plurality of different original access addresses have at least one the same original unit indexes from the highest block unit level, the scrambled unit indexes generated therefrom are the same. The memory controller accesses the memory according to the scrambled access address. | 2022-07-14 |

20220221996 | CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC ACTIVATION OF FUNCTIONALITY IN A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - The disclosed embodiments are related to securely updating a semiconductor device. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a command; generating, by the semiconductor device, a response code in response to the command; returning the response code to a processing device; receiving a command to replace a storage root key of the device; generating a replacement key based on the response code; and replacing an existing key with the replacement key. | 2022-07-14 |
20220221997 | ALLOCATING DATA STORAGE BASED ON AGGREGATE DUPLICATE PERFORMANCE - Systems and methods for allocating storage based on aggregate performance of duplicate data are described. A number of duplicates of a host data unit in a storage medium may be determined, such as by a storage device and/or host device. Operation parameters for the duplicate host data may be aggregated into aggregate operation parameters. The aggregate operation parameters may be used to allocate storage in the storage medium, such as by determining target duplicate numbers and performance thresholds for deduplication and tiering decisions. Duplicate host data units may be stored, moved, or deleted based on the aggregate operation parameters. | 2022-07-14 |
20220221998 | MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A memory management method, an electronic device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are disclosed. In the method, a memory allocation request sent by an application is acquired, the memory allocation request including a target memory value required by the application. An estimated remaining memory value is obtained according to the target memory value and a remaining memory value of an electronic device. It is determined whether the estimated remaining memory value is greater than a specified value, the specified value being greater than a minimum system memory threshold, and the minimum system memory threshold being the minimum memory value required for system operation of the electronic device. When it is determined that the estimated remaining memory value is smaller than the specified value, a memory recovery operation is performed, and a memory space corresponding to the target memory value is allocated to the application. | 2022-07-14 |
