Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a method comprises: requesting an update on a control data in at least one flash block in a storage memory; replicating, from the storage memory to a cache memory, the control data to be updated; moving a clean cache link list to a dirty cache link list so that the dirty cache link list is changed to reflect the update on the control data; and moving the dirty cache link list to a for-flush link list and writing an updated control data from the for-flush link list to a free flash page in the storage memory. In another embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises: a control data flushing system configured to: request an update on a control data in at least one flash block in a storage memory; replicate, from the storage memory to a cache memory, the control data to be updated; move a clean cache link list to a dirty cache link list so that the dirty cache link list is changed to reflect the update on the control data; and move the dirty cache link list to a for-flush link list and write an updated control data from the for-flush link list to a free flash page in the storage memory. In yet another embodiment of the invention, an article of manufacture, comprises a non-transient computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions operable to permit an apparatus to: request an update on a control data in at least one flash block in a storage memory; replicate, from the storage memory to a cache memory, the control data to be updated; move a clean cache link list to a dirty cache link list so that the dirty cache link list is changed to reflect the update on the control data; and move the dirty cache link list to a for-flush link list and write an updated control data from the for-flush link list to a free flash page in the storage memory.
