From c636a09e83b08c27ce60a0f1d13536d736a06926 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Dibakar Gope ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)" Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:04:26 -0600 Subject: ruby: mesi coherence protocol: invalidate lock The MESI CMP directory coherence protocol, while transitioning from SM to IM, did not invalidate the lock that it might have taken on a cache line. This patch adds an action for doing so. The problem was found by Dibakar, but I was not happy with his proposed solution. So I implemented a different solution.
