◆ extractServiceableTargets()

MSHR::TargetList gem5::MSHR::extractServiceableTargets ( PacketPtr pkt )

Extracts the subset of the targets that can be serviced given a received response.

This function returns the targets list unless the response is a ReadRespWithInvalidate. The ReadRespWithInvalidate is only invalidating response that its invalidation was not expected when the request (a ReadSharedReq) was sent out. For ReadRespWithInvalidate we can safely service only the first FromCPU target and all FromSnoop targets (inform all snoopers that we no longer have the block).

Parameters

pkt	The response from the downstream memory

◆ pendingModified

bool gem5::MSHR::pendingModified

private

Here we use one flag to track both if:

We are going to become owner or not, i.e., we will get the block in an ownership state (Owned or Modified) with BlkDirty set. This determines whether or not we are going to become the responder and ordering point for future requests that we snoop.
We know that we are going to get a writable block, i.e. we will get the block in writable state (Exclusive or Modified state) with BlkWritable set. That determines whether additional targets with needsWritable set will be able to be satisfied, or if not should be put on the deferred list to possibly wait for another request that does give us writable access.

Condition 2 is actually just a shortcut that saves us from possibly building a deferred target list and calling promoteWritable() every time we get a writable block. Condition 1, tracking ownership, is what is important. However, we never receive ownership without marking the block dirty, and consequently use pendingModified to track both ownership and writability rather than having separate pendingDirty and pendingWritable flags.
