Memory sub-system for supporting deterministic and non-deterministic commands based on command expiration and the state of the intermediate command queue

A method comprising:

• generating a plurality of commands for a plurality of memory components;
• and
• queueing the plurality of commands in a command queue, wherein queueing the plurality of commands comprises:
• determining whether a command of the plurality of commands has timed out before being performed;
• based at least in part on a timeout of the command, blocking performance of at least one other command in the plurality of commands by the plurality of memory components, wherein blocking performance comprises marking the blocked commands as not issuable in response to determining that:
• the blocked commands comprise deterministic commands;
• and
• the blocked commands comprise non-deterministic commands and an intermediate command queue is not empty;
• and
• receiving an indication via a signal path that indicates whether data is ready for transmission, wherein the signal path comprises a response signal (RSP_N) signal path of an NVDIMM-P protocol.

Non-transitory, computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to:

• generate a plurality of commands;
• and
• queue the plurality of commands in a command queue for a plurality of memory components, wherein queueing the plurality of commands comprises:
• determining whether a command of the plurality of commands has timed out before being performed;
• based at least in part on a timeout of the command, blocking performance of at least one other command in the plurality of commands by the plurality of memory components, wherein blocking performance comprises marking the blocked commands as not issuable when:
• the blocked commands comprise deterministic commands;
• and
• the blocked commands comprise non-deterministic commands and an intermediate command queue is not empty;
• and
• receive an indication via a signal path that indicates whether data is ready for transmission, wherein the signal path comprises a response signal (RSP_N) signal path of an NVDIMM-P protocol.
