A node includes a processor coupled to an interconnect and a memory bridge
coupled to the interconnect. The processor is configured to maintain a
first indication of whether or not a modification of data at a first
address has been detected by the processor after a most recent
load-linked (LL) instruction was executed by the processor to the first
address. The memory bridge is responsible for internode coherency within
the node, and is configured to initiate a first transaction on the
interconnect in response to receiving a probe command from another node.
The processor is configured, during a time period in which the processor
has a second transaction outstanding to the first address, to change the
first indication to the first state responsive to the first transaction.
