Abstract
A method for managing a corrupted memory block. The method includes detecting the corrupted memory block, and removing, after detecting the corrupted memory block, references to the corrupted memory block. The method further includes identifying, after detecting the corrupted memory block, an uncorrupted memory block and analyzing each cache line. The method further includes determining, while analyzing each cache line, that a first cache line includes an uncorrectable error and creating, based on determining the first cache line includes the uncorrectable error, a second cache line including an artificial error, and migrating the second cache line to the uncorrupted memory block, where a layout of the corrupted memory block is maintained.
