Determining the first task portion is to process a second next-in-order packet. In response to determining the first location stores the second barrier indicator, preventing the first task portion from processing the second packet. In response to a first barrier clear indicator, storing the first barrier indicator at the first location, and in response, enabling the first task portion to process the second packet.
