Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for wear leveling repair in a memory device. A host is configured to issue a wear leveling command and a repair request to a memory device configured to check source data in a memory of the memory device for errors in response to receiving the wear leveling command from the host, transfer source data in the memory of the memory device to a target page, and repair a source page if the source data includes an error. The memory device is further configured to set a new repair match if a wear leveling repair element was not consumed after receiving the repair request and flush a previous repair match before setting the new repair match if the wear leveling repair element was consumed and a physical address of an incoming repair request is associated with the wear leveling repair element.
