Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for coherency locking are described in which different types of writes have different coherency locking schemes. The types of writes can be associated with different sources of write commands, such as external commands from a host system or internal commands from a garbage collection procedure. Coherency locking can be performed for external write commands received from a host system, while coherency locking is not performed for internal write commands. If an internal write is received for data that has been previously written at a prior location, a write to one or more physical memory devices can be performed and, once an acknowledgment is received that the write is complete, an update to a mapping table with the new location of the data is performed.
