Zusammenfassung:An example method includes maintaining a first data structure comprising logical address to physical address mappings for managed units corresponding to a memory, and maintaining a second data structure whose entries correspond to respective physical managed unit addresses. Each entry of the second data structure comprises an activity counter field corresponding to the respective physical managed unit address and a number of additional fields indicating whether the respective physical managed unit address is in one or more of a number of additional data structures. The one or more additional data structures are accessed in association with performing at least one of a wear leveling operation on the respective physical managed unit address, and a neighbor disturb mitigation operation on physical managed unit addresses corresponding to neighbors of the respective physical managed unit address.
