The \texttt{Load Store Unit} does not store specific coherence protocol information (as stable states) but it stores \textit{privileges} for all cached addresses. Each cache line has two privileges: \textit{can read} and \textit{can write}. Those privileges determine cache misses/hits and are updated only by the \texttt{Cache Controller}.
