<p>A method and system for managing a flash memory system facilitates the use of TRIM or similar operations so as to release physical memory space of logical block addresses that are declared to be deleted by a user file management system. A series of data structures accounts for the levels of indirection used to manage the correspondence between a user logical block address and the physical location of the data in the memory system and to respond to user read and write requests by efficiently determining the current status of the user logical block address in the frame of reference of the memory system and substantially decoupling the TRIM management from the garbage collection and wear leveling operations.</p> |
