Abstract

A data processing system includes a processor core and a hardware module. The processor core performs tasks on data packets. The ordering scope manager stores a first value in a first storage location. The first value indicates that exclusive execution of a first task in a first ordering scope is enabled. In response to a relinquish indicator being received, the ordering scope manager stores a second value in the first storage location. The second value indicates that the exclusively execution of the first task in the first ordering scope is disabled.
