Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to receive information from a host about invalidated memory addresses. The controller receives, from a host, data identifying a set of storage locations associated with invalidated data stored in a set of memory components and, in response to receiving the data, performs staging activity for the invalidated data stored in the set of storage locations. The controller receives, from the host, a trim command for one or more storage locations in the set of storage locations and performs trim operations for the one or more storage locations for which the staging activity has already been performed.

The controller generates an instruction to fold data stored in an individual portion of the set of memory components. The controller, prior to executing the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion of the set of memory components, transmits a communication to a host indicative of the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion. The controller conditions execution of the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion of the set of memory components based on transmission of the communication to the host.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to allow a host to configure data storage policies on the memory sub-system. The controller receives, from a host, a data storage policy instruction, the data storage policy instruction defining how data is stored on a set of memory components. The controller updates configuration information for the memory sub-system based on the data storage policy instruction received from the host and controls storage of data to the set of memory components based on the updated configuration information.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to inform a host about write amplification penalty for host invalidations. The controller generates a virtual memory group comprising a portion of a memory component of a set of memory components. The controller computes a write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group. The controller communicates, to a host, information about the write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group. The controller receives, from the host, a request to invalidate data associated with the virtual memory group, the request being generated by the host based on the write amplification penalty.

Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system identifies a read error associated with a block and initiates a diagnostic memory access operation on the block. The processing device determines whether the diagnostic memory access operation was successfully performed on the block. Responsive to determining the diagnostic memory access operation was successfully performed on the block, the processing device initiates a diagnostic read operation on the block. The processing device determines whether the diagnostic read operation was successfully performed on the block. Responsive to determining the diagnostic read operation was successfully performed on the block, the processing device identifies the block as a healthy block.

Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system determines a total power-off time of a memory sub-system and identifies a configurable power-off time threshold for the memory sub-system.

Abstract: Data is read from a set of memory cells of a memory device to a buffer of the memory device. One or more bits in error in the data stored by the buffer are corrected by a decoder of the memory device. The decoder corrects the one or more bits in error by decoding the data stored by the buffer. The decoding of the data results in corrected data. An encoder of the memory device encodes the corrected data and the encoded corrected data is programmed to the set of memory cells.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a media temperature manager receiving operating temperature measurements for a memory subsystem. The media temperature manager generates an average temperature using the operating temperature measurements. The media temperature manager determines that the average temperature satisfies a first value for a dynamic temperature threshold. The dynamic temperature threshold indicates a temperature at which the memory subsystem throttles media operations. The media temperature manager increases the dynamic temperature threshold to a second value in response to the average temperature satisfying the first value for the dynamic temperature threshold.

Abstract: A total estimated occupancy value of a first data on a first data block of a plurality of data blocks is determined. To determine the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block, a total block power-on-time (POT) value of the first data block is determined.

Whether the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block satisfies a threshold criterion is determined. Responsive to determining that the total estimated occupancy value of the first data block satisfies the threshold criterion, data stored at the first data block is relocated to a second data block of the plurality of data blocks.
