Hi, All

     Does Ruby/SLICC support atomic operation?

As I understand, Ruby supports load linked / store conditional memory operation.

I found that atomic is treated as Store in MOESI_hammer and MESI_CMP_directory 
example protocols.
But I think this approach may cause live lock when two processors try to do 
atomic to the same cache line and each one
Interrupt the other.  Can anyone give some answers and suggestions?

Thanks!
