Techniques for performing a non-blocking control sync operation

An apparatus, comprising:

• a non-volatile memory;
• and
• a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory, the controller comprising:
• an interface configured to send a first data to be stored to the non-volatile memory;
• and
• a control circuit configured to generate updated control information based on storing of the first data to the non-volatile memory, wherein the updated control information includes a mapping table, wherein the interface is further configured to concurrently send a second data and the updated control information to be stored at the non-volatile memory, and wherein the non-volatile memory is configured to store the second data and the updated control information in a non-blocking manner

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for storing data;
• means for generating a updated control information based on storing of a first data to a non-volatile memory, wherein the updated control information includes a mapping table;
• means for generating an updated mapping table in response to sending the first data to be stored at the means for storing data;
• means for concurrently sending the updated mapping table and second data to the means for storing data;
• and
• means for performing continuous processing of user data written to the non-volatile memory by one or more memory dies of the non-volatile memory during a non-blocking control sync operation.

A method of operation of a data storage device, comprising:

• sending first data to be stored at a non-volatile memory of the data storage device;
• storing the first data at the non-volatile memory of the data storage device;
• generating an updated control information based on the storing of the first data to the non-volatile memory, wherein the updated control information includes a mapping table;
• in response to the sending of the first data to be stored at the non-volatile memory, generating an updated mapping table;
• after generating the updated mapping table, concurrently sending the updated mapping table and second data to be stored at the non-volatile memory;
• and
• storing the updated mapping table and the second data in a non-blocking operation.
