    Abstract: Aspects relate to interrupting memory access during background operations of a memory device. In one example, a host for a memory device includes background operation circuitry configured to permit a background operation by a memory device. The host is coupled to the memory device through a bus. The host receives an operation completed notification from the memory device to indicate that the memory device has completed performing the background operation. Memory access command circuitry is configured to receive a memory access command. The memory access command concerns reading or writing data to the memory device coupled to the host. The memory access command circuitry initiates a wait at the host for the memory access command, and sends the memory access command to the memory device in response to receiving the operation completed notification.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for implementing a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) link configuration by a computing device. Embodiments may include selecting, by a PCIe device, a predetermined PCIe link speed based on a PCIe link configuration mode of a PCIe system of a plurality of PCIe link configuration modes of the PCIe system, and selecting, by the PCIe device, a PCIe link width of one lane for configuring the PCIe link. Embodiments may include selecting a PCIe link speed level lower than a current PCIe link speed in response to a reliability indicator exceeding a reliability threshold for a first PCIe link configuration mode. Embodiments may include selecting a maximum PCIe link speed for the PCIe link for a second PCIe link configuration mode. Embodiments may include increasing the PCIe link width in response to a requested bandwidth exceeding a configuration bandwidth of the PCIe link.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques and procedures for storing data in a data storage device that uses nonvolatile memory (NVM) to store data. The NVM can be organized into logical units that are assigned respective logical unit numbers. The data storage device can report to a host the amount of spare blocks needed for one or more logical units (LUs), and then the host can relinquish some memory blocks to be reallocated as spare blocks. The data storage device can implement a spare block resource management policy per LU and allocate a predetermined amount of spare blocks per LU. The data storage device can implement a spare block resource management policy per memory type and allocate a predetermined amount of spare blocks for LUs with the same memory type.
