ABSTRACT:
A memory flush is processed in accordance with a state machine that keeps track of the flush states of a memory target. A memory target is not flushed if it has not been written to, or if a memory flush has already been completed for that memory target. A memory target is flushed if the memory partition is in a flush needed state or a flush pending state. Each memory target has an associated state machine, but only one state machine is maintained per memory target.
