ABSTRACT:
According to some embodiments, power loss recovery information related to an active operation is stored in volatile memory. Upon detection of a power loss condition, the power loss recovery information is copied to non-volatile memory. Upon a return of power, the power loss recovery information is used to complete or correct the interrupted operation.
