TLB Broadcast serialization

Hi All,

The Arm documentation explains that Broadcast of TLB Invalidation commands based on DVM are serialized.  which means that Master #1 send Broadcast TLB Invalidation  and Master #2 do the same, then Master #2 initiated request is started only once Master #1 finished. Interconnect serializes request. But i'm wondering what is happening when there is a race between local TLB Invalidation and Broadcast TLB Invalidation regarding a given Core. 

Multiple possibility to me:

 1- if local TLB operation started before then the broadcast operation for the Core is delayed up to the end of local TLB Op

 2- if local TLB operation started after then the local TLB operation is delayed up to the end of broadcasted TLB op for the given core.

 3- one of the two operation is ignored ?

Any clarification would be welcomed on the expected behavior.

Thanks for you help

  • So Local TLB Op and Broadcast TLB Op are usually issued in Parallel,  A core will receive both local and external snoop and will queue it in its snoop queue and service both of them as they arrive
