Abstract

The invention discloses a method for managing a flash memory module, a flash socket controller and an electronic device. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing a plurality of blocks in the flash memory module into a plurality of groups; scanning a target block of each group without scanning all the blocks in the group to determine whether at least a part of the blocks in the group need to be refreshed, and marking the group in which the at least a part of the blocks need to be refreshed as a marked group; scanning only the blocks of the at least one part of the marked group, not scanning the unmarked group, so as to determine which block needs to be refreshed, and marking the block which is judged to be refreshed as a marked block; and refreshing the flag block by moving valid data of the flag block to at least one blank block.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flash memory, in particular to a method for managing a flash memory module and a related flash memory controller. Background technique [0002] In a flash memory module, when data is stored in a block for a long time, the data may suffer from a preservation problem, that is, the data quality may be degraded, and the flash memory controller needs to use complex decoding methods (such as soft decoding method) or redundant array of independent disks (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, RAID) data recovery to obtain data, thereby increasing the read time. To avoid this retention problem, the flash memory controller needs to periodically scan many blocks to determine if any block suffers from data retention problems. However, if there are too many blocks to scan, system performance may be severely degraded; if only a few blocks are scanned, blocks with data retention issues may not be found. Therefore, how to provide a scannin...
