Abstract
Memory subsystem error management enables dynamically changing lockstep partnerships. A memory subsystem has a lockstep partnership relationship between a first memory portion and a second memory portion to spread error correction over the pair of memory resources. The lockstep partnership can be preconfigured. In response to detecting a hard error in the lockstep partnership, the memory subsystem can cancel or reverse the lockstep partnership between the first memory portion and the second memory portion and create or set a new lockstep partnership. The detected error can be a second hard error in the lockstep partnership. The memory subsystem can create new lockstep partnerships between the first memory portion and a third memory portion as lockstep partners and between the second memory portion and a fourth memory portion as lockstep partners. The memory subsystem can also be configured to change the granularity of the lockstep partnership when changing partnerships.
