Abstract

A storage system may include a queue included in a memory and a controller configured to store commands received from a host in the queue. The queue may have a linked-list configuration. In response to a triggering event, the controller may take a snapshot of the queue, creating a snapshot queue. The snapshot queue may have a linear configuration. Subsequent analysis or parsing of queued information may be performed on the linear snapshot queue instead of the linked-list queue. Modifications to the linear snapshot queue may be corresponding made to the linked-list queue.
