Abstract
Instead of the firmware (FW) monitoring for both an overlap read command and a write protected (WP) overlapped write command, the FW can monitor the overlap table only. The controller will receive a read command or an overlap read command. If the command is not an overlap read command, then the controller will process the command normally. If the command is an overlap read command, then the controller will look for the write command that is being overlapped. When passing the write overlap of write protect (WP) into the data path instead of the exception queue, the FW is limited to monitoring the overlap table. As such, when the WP command is completed the entry is removed by the data path. As a result, the FW can limit monitoring to when the data path clears the overlap table.
