  • Publication number: 20240037033
    Abstract: A system for managing power loss can include a number of memory devices including a volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory device and a processing device operatively coupled with the plurality of memory devices. The processor can save a snapshot of a logical-to-physical (L2P) table to a non-volatile memory device and maintain a journal of updates of the L2P. The processor can retrieve a sequence number from system metadata and save the most recent set of updates of the L2P table to a dedicated area of the non-volatile memory device, where the dedicated area is identified by the sequence number.

  • Patent number: 11782831
    Abstract: A system for managing power loss can include a number of memory devices including a volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory device and a processing device operatively coupled with the plurality of memory devices. The processor can save a snapshot of a logical-to-physical (L2P) table to a non-volatile memory device and maintain a journal of updates of the L2P. The processor can, in response to a parameter of journal buffer of a volatile memory device satisfying a threshold criterion, save at least one journal of updates of the L2P table to the non-volatile memory device. It can also retrieve a sequence number from system metadata and save the most recent set of updates of the L2P table to a dedicated area of the non-volatile memory device, where the dedicated area is identified by the sequence number, in response to detecting a power loss event.

  • Patent number: 11768631
    Abstract: A system for file system data access can include memory devices including a non-volatile memory device, as well as a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory devices to perform operations including receiving a file system (FS) write command and determining whether a write count of a physical super management unit (PSMU) of the non-volatile memory device satisfies a threshold criterion. The operations can include, recording a change of a super management unit (SMU) mapping for FS data of an FS mapping table, where the FS mapping table is a portion of a logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table and performing a move of SMU data corresponding to the change of the SMU mapping. They can also include creating a backup copy of the FS mapping table on the non-volatile memory device, and restoring the FS mapping table from the backup copy of the FS mapping table.

  • Patent number: 9753649
    Abstract: Systems, methods and/or devices are used to enable tracking intermix of writes and un-map commands across power cycles. In one aspect, the method includes (1) receiving, at a storage device, a plurality of commands from a host, the storage device including non-volatile memory, (2) maintaining a log corresponding to write commands and un-map commands from the host, (3) maintaining a mapping table in volatile memory, the mapping table used to translate logical addresses to physical addresses, (4) saving the mapping table, on a scheduled basis that is independent of the un-map commands, to the non-volatile memory of the storage device, (5) saving the log to the non-volatile memory, and (6) upon power up of the storage device, rebuilding the mapping table from the saved mapping table in the non-volatile memory of the storage device and from the saved log in the non-volatile memory of the storage device.
