Error management of memory devices

A system comprising:

• one or more memory devices;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the one or more memory devices, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• responsive to receiving a request from a host system, performing, by the processing device, a read operation performed on a management unit of the one or more memory devices;
• storing data from the management unit into a second memory device of the one or more memory devices;
• transmitting, from the second memory device, data to the host system;
• receiving, from a controller managing the one or more memory devices, a first error status associated with the read operation;
• receiving, from the first memory device, a second error status associated with the read operation;
• responsive to determining that the first error status and the second error status indicate a correctable error in the management unit, performing an error correction operation on the management unit;
• responsive to an unsuccessful error correction of the correctable error in the management unit, determining whether a spare management unit of the first memory device is available;
• and
• responsive to determining that no spare management unit is available, locking, in a logical-to-physical (L2P) data structure, an entry mapping a logical address to a physical address associated with the management unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• initiating, by a processing device of a controller, a media management operation on a plurality of management units of one or more memory devices managed by the controller;
• receiving, from the controller, a first error status associated with a read stage of the media management operation performed on a first management unit of the plurality of management units, wherein the read stage reads, from the first management unit, data to be moved to a second management unit of the plurality of management units;
• receiving, from the one or more memory devices, a second error status associated with the read stage of the media management operation on the first management unit;
• responsive to determining that the first error status and the second error status indicate a correctable error in the first management unit, performing an error correction operation on the first management unit;
• responsive to an unsuccessful error correction of the correctable error in the first management unit, determining whether a spare management unit is available, wherein the spare management unit is located on the one or more memory devices but is not one of the plurality of management units;
• and
• responsive to determining that no spare management unit is available, locking, in a logical-to-physical (L2P) data structure, an entry mapping a logical address to a physical address associated with the first management unit.
