Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are described to indicate, in an entry of logical to physical (L2P) mapping information stored at a host system, whether data associated with the entry is sequential to other data associated with a next entry or a previous entry. Each entry may have a third field, which may indicate whether the data is sequential. Based on the third field, the host system may determine whether data to be read from a memory system is sequential. The host system may transmit one read command to the memory system if the data is sequential, where the read command may include at least a portion of an L2P entry associated with the data. Similarly, based on the third field, the memory system may determine whether the data to be read is sequential, and may read additional, sequential data if the memory system determines that the data is sequential.
