"Host memory buffer release operation" refers to an operation that involves one or more host memory buffers. In particular, a host memory buffer release operation may include a number of steps or operations that are completed in preparing terminate, close, deallocate, release, or otherwise stop using one or more host memory buffers. Typically, a host memory buffer release operation is performed when a host seeks to recover non-volatile memory that was occupied by the host memory buffer. There may be various reasons for releasing a host memory buffer including dismounting of a non-volatile storage device, a host's request for more non-volatile memory space, a command from a user, a signal initiated by a non-volatile storage device as part of a dismount process, and the like.
