Read disturb scan consolidation

Abstract:

A processing device in a memory system maintains a counter to track a number of read operations performed on at least one of a physical block or a plurality of physical blocks of a memory device, wherein the counter is associated with the physical block or the plurality of physical blocks depending on an age of data stored on the physical block. The processing device further determines whether a value of the counter satisfies a first threshold criterion pertaining to the number of read operations performed, and responsive to the value of the counter satisfying the first threshold criterion, performs a data integrity scan to determine a first error rate.
