  • Publication number: 20230359398
    Abstract: A determination is made of whether a memory sub-system operates in a full capacity mode or a reduced capacity mode. The full capacity mode corresponds to accessing data residing at a set of memory devices via a number of physical data channels that corresponds to a number of logical data channels. The reduced capacity mode corresponds to accessing the data via a number of physical data channels that is less than the number of logical data channels. A data structure is updated to include one or more mappings between physical data channels and logical data channels according to the determination. A memory access operation to access a data item at memory cells of at least one of the set of memory devices is executed based on the one or more mappings of the data structure.

  • Patent number: 11681472
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and media are described for unmap support in coarse mapped storage. In one embodiment a controller of a memory sub-system manages a set of metadata for super management units (SMU) of the memory sub-system, wherein each SMU of the memory sub-system comprises a plurality of data management units (MU), and wherein each MU comprises a plurality of addressable memory elements as part of a coarse memory storage of the memory sub-system. The controller processes a trim command for a first SMU of the plurality of SMUs, and adjusts a trim bit associated with metadata for the first SMU. This trim bit can then be used to manage read and write operations as the trimmed unit waits to be written with an unmap data pattern. Similarly, a trim bit in MU metadata can be used manage related operations to prevent memory access errors.
