Abstract

A logical-to-physical (L2P) table is maintained, wherein a plurality of sections of the L2P table is cached in a volatile memory device. A total dirty count for the L2P table is maintained, wherein the total dirty count reflects a total number of updates to the L2P table. Respective section dirty counts for the plurality of sections are maintained, wherein each respective section dirty count reflects a total number of updates to a corresponding section. It is determined that the total dirty count for the L2P table satisfies a threshold criterion. In response to determining that the total dirty count for the L2P table satisfies the threshold criterion, a first section of the plurality of sections is identified based on the respective section dirty counts. The first section of the L2P table is written to a non-volatile memory device.
