Abstract
A media management operation is initiated on a plurality of management units of one or more memory devices managed by the controller. A first error status and second error status associated with a read stage of the media management operation performed on a first management unit of the plurality of management units is received. An error correction operation on the first management unit is performed responsive to determining that the first error status and the second error status indicate a correctable error in the first management unit. An entry mapping a logical address to a physical address associated with the first management unit is locked responsive to determining that no spare management unit is available.
