Abstract
A storage system receives an instruction to cancel an in-progress read/write command. The storage system allows data associated with the command to continue to be processed by a data path in the storage system even though the command was cancelled. However, before the data is actually transferred out of the data path, a controller determines that the command was cancelled and prevents the data from being transferred out, while internally indicating that the transfer was complete. This provides a faster cancellation process than methods that attempt to stop the data from being processed by the data path.
