A flash memory device includes an array of non-volatile memory (NVM) cells, at least one detection NVM cell, and a sensing circuit. The array of NVM cells are configured to store data. The sensing circuit is coupled to the at least one detection NVM cell and is configured to measure a charge on the at least one detection NVM cell. The sensing circuit is also configured to compare the measured charge with a threshold charge level and to trigger a refresh of the array of NVM cells in response to the measured charge being less than the threshold charge level.

A computing device and method for managing file access control policies on a computing device are disclosed. The method includes maintaining file-access policies in user space, receiving, at a kernel level, from a user in user space, a request to access a file, and directing the request from the kernel level to a file-policy manager in user space. At least one of the of the file-access policies is enforced in user space with the file-policy manager to grant or deny access to the file, and file operations are performed on the file using only kernel-level calls when access to the to the file is granted.

Stackable file system with user space policy management

One embodiment of the invention comprises a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium encoded with processor readable instructions to perform a method of transferring SDIO data. One method comprises buffering multiple IP packets to transfer from one of a SDCC host and a SDIO client to the other of the SDCC host and the SDIO client. A multiplexing header is attached to each of the multiple IP packets and one of at least one SDIO read command and at least one SDIO write command issued. The multiple IP packets are then transferred in a single SDIO transfer between the one of a SDCC host and a SDIO client to the other of the SDCC host and the SDIO client.
