Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for dynamically allocating a memory includes dividing a memory into a first portion and a second portion in response to detecting an error condition when reading data from a data storage medium. The first portion is allocated for processing normal read and/or write requests. The second portion is allocated for processing error recovery procedure (ERP) requests. In another embodiment, a computer program product for dynamically allocating a memory includes a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith. The program code is readable/executable by a processor to divide, by the processor, a memory into a first portion and a second portion in response to detecting an error condition when reading data from a data storage medium. The first portion is allocated for processing normal read and/or write requests. The second portion is allocated for processing ERP requests.
