    Abstract: Memory subsystem error management enables dynamically changing lockstep partnerships. A memory subsystem has a lockstep partnership relationship between a first memory portion and a second memory portion to spread error correction over the pair of memory resources. The lockstep partnership can be preconfigured. In response to detecting a hard error in the lockstep partnership, the memory subsystem can cancel or reverse the lockstep partnership between the first memory portion and the second memory portion and create or set a new lockstep partnership. The detected error can be a second hard error in the lockstep partnership. The memory subsystem can create new lockstep partnerships between the first memory portion and a third memory portion as lockstep partners and between the second memory portion and a fourth memory portion as lockstep partners. The memory subsystem can also be configured to change the granularity of the lockstep partnership when changing partnerships.

    Abstract: A memory controller having an error checking and correction (ECC) circuitry can detect an error in data being read from memory and correct that error with a retry flow without needing to send another read to the memory for the data. The read data is stored in a read data buffer (RDB) at the memory controller when the read data is received from memory. The memory controller has an error detection path from the RDB to the host and an error correction path. Read data that has no errors can be sent directly to the host. Instead of flushing the RDB in response to the error detection, the memory controller executes a retry flow, where the RDB provides the read data to the error correction path for error correction.

    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system, and method to flush modified data from a first memory to a persistent second memory. A first memory controller coupled to the first memory includes at least one RAS controller to read a range of addresses in the first memory. In response to receiving a command from the power control unit, the at least one RAS controller is invoked to read data from at least one range of addresses specified for the RAS controller from the first memory. A second memory controller transfers data read from the first memory determined to be modified to the second memory. The first memory controller sends a signal to the power control unit to indicate that the modified data in the range of addresses specified for the RAS controller was flushed to the second memory in response to the RAS controller completing reading the range of addresses.
