The Defect List Length field indicates a value that is four times larger than the
number of defect descriptors for the block format and eight times larger than the
number of defect descriptors for the byte format from index or the physical sector
format, irrespective of the value of the Allocation Length value.
See Table 6-3, Table 6-4 and Table 6-5 in the subsection entitled “FORMAT UNIT” for
the defect descriptors.
The defect descriptor format for which the P lists are returned by this controller is in
the ascending order of the address but the defect descriptor format for which the G
lists are returned
by this controller may not be in the ascending order of the address.
The block addresses in the block format are physical block addresses.
The physical block address is defined in Note 3 of Table 6-1.
Since the detection and registration method can be different per each defect list
format used, the number of defects transferred to the host can be different.
