Abstract
Reusing data in a memory buffer. A method includes reading data into a first portion of memory of a buffer implemented in the memory. The method further includes invalidating the data and marking the first portion of memory as free such that the first portion of memory is marked as being usable for storing other data, but where the data is not yet overwritten. The method further includes reusing the data in the first portion of memory after the data has been invalidated and the first portion of the memory is marked as free.
