Abstract:
Technology is disclosed herein for aborting a tail portion of a command queue in a storage device. In one aspect, one or more control circuits of a storage system are configured to abort tasks at a tail end of a command queue in response to receiving a task tail abort command. However, tasks at the head end of the command queue may still be executed. Thus, the head end of the command queue need not be rebuilt after the task tail abort command is performed. Therefore, considerable time is saved by not having to rebuild the head end of the command queue. Note that the task tail abort command may be received while the storage system is in a sequential command execution mode, in which tasks are executed in the order of their respective task identifiers.

Claim (Index 18):
A non-volatile memory system, comprising:\n non-volatile memory; communication interface means for receiving tasks to access the non-volatile memory, each of the tasks having a task identifier, the communication interface means further for receiving a task tail abort command having a specified task identifier; command execution mode means for entering a sequential execution mode in which the tasks are executed in order of the task identifier of each respective task; command queue management means for placing tasks received by the communication interface means while in the sequential execution mode onto a command queue; and task execution means for executing at least one task from the command queue after receiving the task tail abort command, the at least one task having a task identifier that is lower than the specified task identifier, the at least one task being on the command queue at the time the task tail abort command is received; wherein the command queue management means is further for, in response to receiving the task tail abort command while in the sequential execution mode, aborting the task having the specified task identifier and all tasks on the command queue having a higher task identifier than the specified task identifier.
