Detailed Description

A write queue for all eviction packets, i.e.

writebacks and clean evictions, as well as uncacheable writes.

Definition at line 57 of file write_queue.hh.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

WriteQueue::WriteQueue ( const std::string &  _label,
int  num_entries,
int  reserve 
)

Create a write queue with a given number of entries.

Parameters
num_entriesThe number of entries in this queue.
reserveThe maximum number of entries needed to satisfy any access.

Definition at line 53 of file write_queue.cc.

Member Function Documentation

WriteQueueEntry * WriteQueue::allocate ( Addr  blk_addr,
unsigned  blk_size,
PacketPtr  pkt,
Tick  when_ready,
Counter  order 
)

Allocates a new WriteQueueEntry for the request and size.

This places the request as the first target in the WriteQueueEntry.

Parameters
blk_addrThe address of the block.
blk_sizeThe number of bytes to request.
pktThe original write.
when_readyWhen is the WriteQueueEntry be ready to act upon.
orderThe logical order of this WriteQueueEntry
Returns
The a pointer to the WriteQueueEntry allocated.
Precondition
There are free entries.

void WriteQueue::markInService ( WriteQueueEntry entry)

Mark the given entry as in service.

This removes the entry from the readyList or deallocates the entry if it does not expect a response (writeback/eviction rather than an uncacheable write).

Parameters
entryThe entry to mark in service.
