Patent number: 11941298Abstract: A host system initiates an abort of a command that has been placed into a submission queue (SQ) of the host system. The host system identifies at least one of a first outcome and a second outcome. When the first outcome indicates that the command is not completed and the second outcome indicates that the SQ entry has been fetched from the SQ, the host system sends an abort request to a storage device, and issues a cleanup request to direct the host controller to reclaim host hardware resources allocated to the command. The host system adds a completion queue (CQ) entry to a CQ and sets an overall command status (OCS) value of the CQ entry based on at least one of the first outcome and the second outcome.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MediaTek Inc.Inventors: Chih-Chieh Chou, Chia-Chun Wang, Liang-Yen Wang, Chin Chin Cheng, Szu-Chi Liu

Publication number: 20220350536Abstract: A host system coupled to a storage system provides hardware support for command abort. The host system includes a host controller, which detects that a host driver has disabled an enable indicator of a submission queue (SQ). In response to the detection, the host controller stops further fetching from the SQ. The host controller sends all entries that have been fetched from the SQ to the storage device, and sets a status indicator of the SQ to indicate stopped fetching of the SQ.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Chih-Chieh Chou, Chia-Chun Wang, Liang-Yen Wang, Szu-Chi Liu, Chin Chin Cheng

Patent number: 11005936Abstract: Examples and techniques pertaining to a security mechanism for multi-client access to a single storage device through a single controller are described. A controller receives a request from a first client of a plurality of clients to access a storage device which stores data associated with the plurality of clients. The controller determines one or more aspects with respect to the first client. The controller then performs one of a plurality of operations including: (a) granting the first client access the storage device responsive to a positive result of the determining, and (b) rejecting the request responsive to a negative result of the determining. The storage device is divided into a plurality of partitions to store respective data associated with each of the plurality of clients in one or more respective partitions of the plurality of partitions.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: MediaTek Inc.Inventors: Szu-Chi Liu, Liang-Yen Wang, Yuan-Sheng Jhu

Publication number: 20190121763Abstract: An electronic device includes a first stream port and a control circuit. The first stream port includes a plurality of lanes, wherein the plurality of lanes are used to couple to a plurality of lanes of a second stream port of another electronic device, respectively. The control circuit is coupled to the first stream port, and is arranged for controlling a data transmission and data reception of the first stream port. When the lanes of the first stream port receive training sequences having a plurality of lane numbers from the lanes of the second stream port, respectively, to initiate a lane number negotiation, the lanes of the first stream port send back the received lane numbers to the second stream port, without considering default lane numbers of the lanes of the first stream port.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2017Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Huai-Yuan Feng, Yung-Chih Lin, Liang-Yen Wang, Kai-Sheng Chuang, Tsung-Han Wu, Yang-Fan Mu, Chia-Chun Wang

Patent number: 7619952Abstract: An appropriate track calculation equation is inducted according to a relationship between a storage area and a track pitch of a compact disc, and a pickup unit is instantly shifted to a location calculated with the track calculation equation. Therefore, an error after performing a track jump modulation is reduced to a smallest degree, and in other words, the pickup unit may access a location on the disc currently required by a user without frequent or time-consuming long seeks. As a result, when the pickup unit accesses compact discs having unknown formats, which indicate different capacities or properties, a track error may be calculated in a shortest time so as to shift the pickup unit accordingly and to fix track jumps, and the user may browse any location on the compact discs having unknown formats smoothly.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: ALI CorporationInventor: Liang-Yen Wang
