Unmap data pattern for coarse mapping memory sub-system
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.
