Reads and writes between a contiguous data block and noncontiguous sets of logical address blocks in a persistent storage device
First Claim
1. A persistent storage device, comprising:
- persistent storage, comprising a set of persistent storage blocks; and
a storage controller configured to store and retrieve data in response to commands received from an external host device, the storage controller further configured to;
in response to a host write command, store all data from a single write data contiguous data block to persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host write command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, in aggregate, are not contiguous; and
in response to a host read command, retrieve data corresponding to all locations of a single read data contiguous data block from persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host read command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, in aggregate, are not contiguous.

Abstract
In the present disclosure, a persistent storage device includes both persistent storage, which includes a set of persistent storage blocks, and a storage controller. The persistent storage device stores and retrieves data in response to commands received from an external host device. The persistent storage device stores data, from a contiguous data block, to two or more sets of logical address blocks in persistent storage. The persistent storage device also retrieves data, corresponding to a contiguous data block, from two or more sets of logical address blocks in persistent. In both instances, the two or more sets of logical address blocks in persistent storage, in aggregate, are not contiguous.

11. A method for managing a persistent storage device, comprising:
at the persistent storage device comprising persistent storage and a storage controller, the persistent storage comprising a set of persistent storage blocks; in response to a host write command received from an external host device, storing all data from a single write data contiguous data block to persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host write command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, in aggregate, are not contiguous; and in response to a host read command, retrieving data corresponding to all locations of a single read data contiguous data block from persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host read command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, in aggregate, are not contiguous. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by a storage controller of a persistent storage device, the persistent storage device comprising persistent storage and the storage controller, the persistent storage comprising a set of persistent storage blocks, wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the storage controller of the persistent storage device, cause the persistent storage device to perform a method comprising:
-
in response to a host write command received from an external host device, storing all data from a single write data contiguous data block to persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host write command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host write command, in aggregate, are not contiguous; and in response to a host read command, retrieving data corresponding to all locations of a single read data contiguous data block from persistent storage blocks corresponding to two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, each set of logical address blocks specified by the host read command comprising a set of contiguous logical address blocks, wherein the two or more sets of logical address blocks specified by the host read command, in aggregate, are not contiguous.
