Recording memory errors for use after restarts

In some examples, a system records, in a data structure stored in a non-volatile storage, information of memory errors in respective segments of a memory. The system determines whether memory errors of a subset of the segments satisfy a criterion, and in response to determining that the memory error...

Zusammenfassung:In some examples, a system records, in a data structure stored in a non-volatile storage, information of memory errors in respective segments of a memory. The system determines whether memory errors of a subset of the segments satisfy a criterion, and in response to determining that the memory errors of the subset of the segments satisfy the criterion, the system groups the memory errors of the subset into a partition having a size greater than a size of a segment. The system records, in the data structure, information of memory errors in the partition, and in response to a restart of the system, retrieves the data structure from the non-volatile storage for use in an operation that addresses memory errors in the system.
