NAND dropped command detection and recovery
Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided which allow for detection of dropped commands based on a die status (ready/busy status) of a command received from a host device. The memory may include dies controlled by chip-enables (CE). After selecting a die using CE, the controller waits between a minimum and maximum time after receiving the command to query the die status, where the minimum time is the time by which the command is expected to begin execution and the maximum time is the shortest time by which the command is expected to complete execution. The controller queries the die status after waiting the time period. If the die status is ready when it should have read busy, the controller detects that the command associated with the data is dropped and requests the host device to reissue the command.
1. A storage device, comprising:
a memory; and
a controller coupled to the memory and configured to:
perform a die status query with the memory for a host command at a time after a first time at which the host command is expected to begin execution and prior to a second time at which the host command is expected to complete execution; and
detect whether the host command is dropped based on the die status query.
2. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, from a host device, the host command, the host command indicating a request to perform a storage device operation with the memory; and
wait a time period after receiving the host command to perform the die status query, wherein the time period is bounded by the first time and the second time.
3. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the first time corresponds to a minimum time by which the die status query is to be valid and the second time corresponds to a minimum time by which the host command is to complete execution with the memory.
4. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive a busy status from a particular die in the memory in response to the die status query; and
determine that the host command is not dropped and being executed correctly based on the busy status.
5. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive a ready status from a particular die in the memory in response to the die status query; and
determine that the host command is dropped and not executed correctly based on the ready status.
6. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the first time and the second time are different between different dies of the memory.
7. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to issue other storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to perform the die status query with a particular die of the memory.
8. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to refrain from issuing storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to perform the die status query with a particular die of the memory.
9. A storage device, comprising:
a memory; and
a controller coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, from a host device, a data command;
query a die status from the memory at a time after a first time at which the data command is expected to begin execution and prior to a second time at which the data command is expected to complete execution; and
detect whether the data command is dropped based on the die status.
10. The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to wait a time period after receiving the data command to query the die status, wherein the time period is bounded by the first time and the second time.
11. The storage device of claim 10 , wherein the first time corresponds to a minimum time by which the die status is to be valid and the second time corresponds to a minimum time by which the data command is to complete execution with the memory.
12. The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the first time and the second time are different between different dies of the memory.
13. The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to issue other storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to query the die status of a particular die in the memory.
14. The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to refrain from issuing storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to query the die status of a particular die in the memory.
15. A storage device, comprising:
a memory; and
a controller coupled to the memory and configured to:
issue a storage device command to a particular die in the memory based on a host command; and
perform a dropped command detection (DCD) status query on the particular die within a time period after the storage device command is issued, the DCD status query indicating whether the storage device command is dropped, the time period being bounded by a first time at which the storage device command is expected to begin execution and a second time at which the storage device command is expected to complete execution.
16. The storage device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, from a host device, the host command, the host command indicating a request to perform a storage device operation with the memory; and
wait a time period after receiving the host command to perform the DCD status query, wherein the time period is bounded by the first time and the second time.
17. The storage device of claim 16 , wherein the first time corresponds to a minimum time by which the DCD status query is to be valid and the second time corresponds to a minimum time by which the storage device command is to complete execution with the memory.
18. The storage device of claim 15 , wherein the first time and the second time are different between different dies of the memory.
19. The storage device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to issue other storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to perform the DCD status query with a particular die of the memory.
20. The storage device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to refrain from issuing storage device commands to one or more dies of the memory while the controller waits to perform the DCD status query with a particular die of the memory.
