Uncorrectable Error Correction Code (UECC) Marking of L2P Mapping Units

A data storage device, comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• a controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive a command from a host device;
• search a logic-to-physical (L2P) mapping table for a logic block address (LBA) associated with the command, wherein the LBA maps to a plurality of consecutive flash management units (FMUs), each FMU of the plurality of FMUs corresponds to a jumbo block address (JBA) of the memory device;
• read metadata associated to a plurality of JBAs corresponding to the plurality of FMUs;
• identify, based on the reading, whether any of the plurality of JBAs are associated with metadata that is marked, wherein a JBA that is associated with metadata that is marked is a marked JBA;
• and
• indicate, based on the identifying, all marked JBAs of the plurality of JBAs as corrupt.

A data storage device, comprising:

• means to store data;
• and
• a controller coupled to the means to store data, wherein the controller is configured to:
• read metadata associated to a plurality of JBAs, wherein metadata is stored in the means to store data;
• identify, based on the reading, whether any of the plurality of JBAs are associated with metadata that is marked, wherein a JBA that is associated with metadata that is marked is a marked JBA;
• detect whether any of the plurality of JBAs has an uncorrectable error;
• mark metadata associated to each JBA of the plurality of JBAs detected as uncorrectable error code (UECC);
• and
• indicate, based on the identifying, all marked JBAs of the plurality of JBAs as corrupt.
