Abstract
A system can include a memory component and a processing device. The processing device can receive an indication to remove a group of memory cells of a memory sub-system from a logical address space that is used to access the memory sub-system. The processing device can, responsive to receiving the indication, remove the group of memory cells of the memory sub-system from the logical address space. The processing device can program the group of memory cells that have been removed from the logical address space with a voltage state.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory component;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory component, to:
- receive an indication to remove a group of memory cells of a memory sub-system from a logical address space that is used to access the memory sub-system;
- responsive to receiving the indication, remove the group of memory cells of the memory sub-system from the logical address space;
- and
- program the group of memory cells that have been removed from the logical address space with a voltage state.
A method, comprising:
- receiving an indication to remove a group of memory cells of a memory sub-system from a logical address space that is used to access the memory sub-system;
- responsive to receiving the indication, removing the group of memory cells of the memory sub-system from the logical address space;
- and
- programming the group of memory cells that have been removed from the logical address space with a voltage state.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receive an indication to remove a group of memory cells of a memory sub-system from a logical address space that is used to access the memory sub-system;
- responsive to receiving the indication, remove the group of memory cells of the memory sub-system from the logical address space;
- and
- program the group of memory cells that have been removed from the logical address space with a voltage state.
