"BriefDescription": "Counts the number of request that were not accepted into the L2Q because the L2Q is FULL.",
"Counter": "0,1",
"EventCode": "0x31",
"EventName": "CORE_REJECT_L2Q.ALL",
"PublicDescription": "Counts the number of (demand and L1 prefetchers) core requests rejected by the L2Q due to a full or nearly full w condition which likely indicates back pressure from L2Q. It also counts requests that would have gone directly to the XQ, but are rejected due to a full or nearly full condition, indicating back pressure from the IDI link. The L2Q may also reject transactions from a core to insure fairness between cores, or to delay a core?s dirty eviction when the address conflicts incoming external snoops. (Note that L2 prefetcher requests that are dropped are not counted by this event.)",

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
