Dynamic multi-circular queues in storage controller interface

In a multi-processor computing device having a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) host controller interface operating in Multi-Circular Queue (MCQ) mode, mappings between processors and completion queues (CQs) may be dynamically changed based on one or more conditions. A condition may be detected that may impair the performance of one of the processors in accessing a CQ. When such a condition is detected, the UFS host controller system may update a queue-to-processor mapping, which may include replacing an association between a CQ and a processor with an association between the CQ and another processor.

Access control mechanism for virtual functions in universal flash storage I / O virtualization

A Universal Flash Storage (UFS) host controller supporting input / output virtualization (IOV) is disclosed. The host controller comprises a programmable Function ID (FID) to Stream ID (SID) mapping unit configured to assign unique stream IDs to physical and virtual UFS Host Controller Interface (UFSHCI) functions. The mapping unit includes registers accessible only within the physical UFSHCI's address space, allowing exclusive control by the host operating system. When a data transfer request is received, the host controller maps it to an assigned stream ID based on the programmable mapping. A UFS device coupled to the host controller validates received stream IDs before executing data transfer requests. This mechanism enables isolation of data streams between virtual functions, enhancing security in virtualized storage environments and accommodating evolving system requirements.
