1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first memory;
a second memory; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry, the at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, configured to:
perform a memory recovery for the first memory, at least by storing data of a user process related to a user area assigned to the first memory and/or a system process related to a system area assigned to the first memory in the second memory, wherein an area of the first memory corresponding to at least one of the user area or the system area is allowed to store other data,
in response to occurring an access of a first process to the data stored in the second memory through the system area, start a restoration of the data stored in the second memory to the first memory according to the access of the first process, and
in response to identifying that there is an access of a second process to the data stored in the second memory before the restoration of the data according to the access of the first process is completed:
(a) complete the restoration of the data according to the access of the first process, and prevent performing a restoration of the data stored in the second memory to the first memory according to the access of the second process, or
(b) start the restoration of the data according to the access of the second process and prevent performing the restoration of the data according to the access of the first process.
