Abstract

A method includes reserving memory capacity in a first memory device as patch memory region for backing faulted memory, receiving a memory error indication indicating an uncorrectable error in a faulted segment in a second memory device and, in response to the memory error indication, associating in a remapping table the faulted segment with a patch segment in the patch memory region. The faulted segment is smaller than a memory page size of the second memory device. The method also includes, in response to receiving a memory access request directed to the faulted memory segment, servicing the memory access request from the patch segment by querying the remapping table to determine a patch segment address corresponding to a requested memory address, where the patch segment address identifies the location of the patch segment, and based on the patch segment address, performing the requested memory access at the patch segment.
