Abstract
A data storage device can perform memory maintenance operations to maintain a healthy state of its memory. It is sometimes required to perform memory maintenance operations as foreground operations, but performing such operations in the foreground may exceed a time constraint established to guarantee a certain performance level. In one embodiment, the data storage device can throttle host commands to allow the memory maintenance operations to be performed in the foreground within the time constraint. Other embodiments are provided.
