Quad-to-single (Q2S) data structure comprising a plurality of entries maintained on a volatile memory device. Each Q2S mapping entry, identified by a physical address of a quad-level cell (QLC) block stripe of a non-volatile memory device, comprises a bit flag and a pointer to a linked list on the volatile memory device. Responsive to programming at least one single-level cell (SLC) block stripe of a plurality of SLC block stripes with data to be programmed to a QLC block stripe, an entry for an identification of the QLC block stripe to be programmed and an entry for each physical address of the at least one SLC block stripe of the plurality of SLC block stripes programmed with data to be programmed to the QLC block stripe is appended to a linked list corresponding to a Q2S mapping entry associated with the QLC block stripe to be programmed.

Performing memory access operations based on quad-level cell to single-level cell mapping table

A quad-to-single (Q2S) data structure comprising a plurality of the Q2S mapping entries is maintained on a volatile memory device. Each Q2S mapping entry, identified by a physical address of a quad-level cell (QLC) block stripe of a non-volatile memory device, comprises a bit flag and a pointer to a linked list on the volatile memory device. Responsive to programming at least one single-level cell (SLC) block stripe of a plurality of SLC block stripes of the non-volatile memory device with data to be programmed to a QLC block stripe, an entry for an identification of the QLC block stripe to be programmed and an entry for each physical address of the at least one SLC block stripe of the plurality of SLC block stripes programmed with data to be programmed to the QLC block stripe is appended to a linked list. The linked list corresponds to a Q2S mapping entry associated with the QLC block stripe to be programmed.

The memory sub-systems of the present disclosure discloses a just-in-time (JIT) scheduling system and method. In one embodiment, a system receives a request to perform a memory operation using a hardware resource associated with a memory device. The system identifies a traffic class corresponding to the memory operation. The system determines a number of available quality of service (QoS) credits for the traffic class during a current scheduling time frame. The system determines a number of QoS credits associated with a type of the memory operation. Responsive to determining the number of QoS credits associated with the type of the memory operation is less than the number of available QoS credits, the system submits the memory operation to be processed at a memory device.
