Hi, I am running the following system,
scons build/ARM/gem5.debug PROTOCOL=MESI_Two_Level ./build/ARM/gem5.debug --debug-flags ProtocolTrace configs/example/fs.py --l1d_size=32kB --l1i_size=32kB --num-l2caches 4 --l2_size=1MB --cacheline_size=64 --machine-type=VExpress_GEM5_V1 --kernel /home/khilji/gem5/m5/system/binaries/vmlinux-aarch32 --disk-image /home/khilji/gem5/m5/system/disks/arm-ubuntu-natty-headless.img --dtb-filename /home/khilji/gem5/m5/system/dtb/armv7_gem5_v1_4cpu.dtb --num-cpus=4 --ruby --num-dirs=4 --network=garnet2.0 --topology Mesh_XY --mesh-rows 2 --mem-size 1GB --cpu-clock 1GHz While running this in debug, and booting the linux I get the following invalid DMA transition. When DMA controller receives the read request from the DMA sequencer it moves to the busy read state but when input response (Data) is received from (Directory/or PUTX L1) the DMA has already returned to ready state before Data event occurs. There are three DMA controllers (equal to dma ports) in the system as specified in config.ini. Is this because of the fact that one of the controllers issues the read request to directory and all of the controllers receive the response? and then those who have not issued the request receive the response while in ready state which results in exception. Following is the protocol trace 646885666000 2 L1Cache Load M>M [0xbda99a00, line 0xbda99a00] 646885667000 2 Seq Begin > [0x80359d7c, line 0x80359d40] IFETCH 646885668000 2 Seq Done > [0x80359d7c, line 0x80359d40] 1 cycles 646885668000 2 L1Cache Ifetch S>S [0x80359d40, line 0x80359d40] 646885670500 1 DMA ReadRequest READY>BUSY_RD [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885676000 0 Directory DMA_READ M>M_DRD [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885681500 0 L2Cache MEM_Inv MT>MT_I [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885681500 0 L2Cache MEM_Inv MT_I>MT_I [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885685500 2 L1Cache Inv M>I [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885694000 0 L2Cache WB_Data MT_I>M_I [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] 646885700000 0 Directory Data M_DRD>M_DRDI [0xbf040000, line 0xbf040000] panic: Invalid transition system.ruby.dma_cntrl0 time: 1293771411 addr: 3204710400 event: Data state: READY Memory Usage: 1584496 KBytes Program aborted at tick 646885705500 Any suggestions? best regards, Muhammad
