The disclosed method includes detecting a stalled memory request, for a first level cache within a cache hierarchy of a processor, that includes an outstanding memory request associated with a second level cache within the cache hierarchy that is higher than the first level cache. The method further includes indicating, to the second level cache, that the first level cache is experiencing a starvation issue due to stalled memory requests to enable the second level cache to perform starvation-remediation actions. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
