Methods and systems for keeping two independent busses coherent that includes writing data from an Input/Output (I/O) controller to a memory. The I/O controller sends the data to the memory via a first bus connected between a first port of a memory controller and the I/O controller. A tag is sent from the I/O controller, after the data, via the first bus through the first port. The tag is received by the memory controller. Completion status of the data write is requested from the I/O controller by a processing unit. The request is sent to the I/O controller via a second bus connected between a second port of the memory controller and the I/O controller. The I/O controller waits for a tag acknowledgment from the memory controller before providing notification to the processing unit that the data write has completed. Therefore, the first bus and the second bus are coherent.
