Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving an indication that memory has entered a protected state. An I/O request that is intended for a target location in the memory is also received. Moreover, the relative significance of the I/O request is evaluated, and in response to concluding the I/O request is sufficiently significant, the I/O request is performed at the target location. However, in response to concluding the I/O request is insufficiently significant, the I/O request is denied.
