Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for back-up and restoration of data between volatile and flash memory. The method for controlling back-up of data to flash memory includes: organizing back-up data into stripes, wherein a stripe is a set of pages across all available flash memory devices, dies and planes which have the same block and page address; maintaining metadata indicating locations of known bad planes and grown bad planes; using the metadata when writing back-up data to determine which planes to send cache program commands to; and sending cache program commands to three or more stripes of data simultaneously including providing an indication in the stripe that the stripe is handling a cache program command If a grown bad block is encountered whilst saving a stripe of data, the stripe of data is re-written to the next available page address avoiding the grown bad block.

Abstract: A mail handler is provided. The mail handler manages a source queue for incoming messages. The source queue has a first count of slots in memory and is associated with a source read pointer and a source write pointer. The mail handler manages the source write pointer and the source read pointer. The mail handler also manages a destination queue for outgoing messages. The destination queue has a second count of slots in memory and is associated with a destination read pointer and a destination write pointer. The mail handler advances the destination write pointer in response to at least one of (i) transferring one or more messages form the source queue to the destination queue and (ii) reserving one or more slots in the destination queue. The at least one processor advances the destination read pointer in response to reading at least one message from the destination queue.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for back-up of data to flash memory is provided. Backed up data is organized into one or more stripes, wherein a stripe comprises a set of pages across all available flash memory devices which have a same block and page address. Responsive to encountering an error in a block of flash memory during back-up of a particular stripe of data, the particular stripe of data is rewritten starting at a next available page address and excluding a page of flash memory for the block having the error. Subsequent stripes of data in the block having the error are written to pages excluding the page of flash memory for the block having the error.

Abstract: Back-up of data to flash memory. Data to back up is written into stripes, which are sets of pages across flash memory backup devices having the same block and page address. First metadata is embedded in each stripe indicating any blocks of the flash memory known to be bad. In response to encountering a new error in a block of flash memory during writing data to back up to a stripe, re-writing the stripe starting at the next available stripe excluding pages on the block of flash memory having the new error, writing subsequent stripes excluding pages on the block of flash memory having the new error, and embedding second metadata in the re-written and subsequent stripes indicating the location of the block having the new error. Responsive to finding no bad blocks indicated in the first metadata, initiating a write to two or more stripes simultaneously.
