Abstract
A storage device includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a storage device controller. The storage device controller includes a NVM interface coupled to the NVM and one or more task queues. The storage device controller is operable to pick a task from one or more queues of the storage device. The task is parsed based upon presence of an extra header segment with an execution condition. The task without the extra header segment is sent to execution. Whether the execution condition of the extra header segment of the task is met is determined. The task with the execution condition met is sent to execution. The task with the execution condition unmet is postponed.
