Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a memory system host data reset function are described. A reset operation may be performed to reset data in a memory system without erasing host data from the memory system. The memory system and a host system may perform the reset operation to sequentially reorder the data across pages and blocks of the memory system, mitigating holes in the data. The reset operation may enable sequentially reordering the data by performing refresh operations on the blocks and performing a subsequent garbage collection operation to consolidate the data within the pages of the refreshed blocks. The host system may reorganize the logical block addresses associated with the blocks and the memory system may perform the refresh operations and the garbage collection operations. The blocks may be refreshed according to an order of access frequency and according to a measure of performance impact on the memory system.
