1. A method for providing pipelined DMA Write operations in a data processing system having a processor, a system memory, a cache memory, an Input/Output (I/O) subsystem and an I/O Channel Controller (IOCC), said method comprising: responsive to a snoop by said IOCC of a DMA Write_No_Data request for a cache line, setting a tag state of said cache line to indicate a weak DMA ownership; monitoring when all cache lines requested by previously issued DMA Write No Data requests are in a DMA Exclusive (D2) state; responsive to said monitoring, changing said tag state of said cache line to DMA Exclusive; and writing date from said cache line to said system memory responsive to said cache line being tagged as DMA Exclusive.
