More Information
Summary:A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to receive a deallocation command corresponding to a plurality of deallocation requests, where each of the plurality of deallocation requests corresponds to a logical block address (LBA) range, determine that at least one of the plurality of deallocation requests is an unaligned deallocation request, generate a tag for metadata for the unaligned deallocation request, wherein the tag for the metadata includes a direction bit and a length bit, concatenate the metadata including the tag to an LBA range of the unaligned deallocation request, and complete the deallocation command using the metadata including the tag. Aligned deallocation requests are stored in a buffer. The concatenated unaligned deallocation requests are completed prior to completing the aligned deallocation requests from the buffer.
