According to C9-147, MSN should only be incremented when the last packet of a multi packet request has been received. "Logically, the requester associates a sequential Send Sequence Number (SSN) with each WQE posted to the send queue. The SSN bears a one- to-one relationship to the MSN returned by the responder in each re- sponse packet. Therefore, when the requester receives a response, it in- terprets the MSN as representing the SSN of the most recent request completed by the responder to determine which send WQE(s) can be completed."

swp_emulation
Software emulation of deprecated SWP instruction (CONFIG_SWP_EMULATE)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ARMv6 architecture deprecates use of the SWP/SWPB instructions, and recommeds
moving to the load-locked/store-conditional instructions LDREX and STREX.
ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions introduce the ability to disable these
instructions, triggering an undefined instruction exception when executed.
Trapped instructions are emulated using an LDREX/STREX or LDREXB/STREXB
sequence. If a memory access fault (an abort) occurs, a segmentation fault is
signalled to the triggering process.
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation holds some statistics/information, including the PID of
the last process to trigger the emulation to be invocated. For example:
---
Emulated SWP: 12
Emulated SWPB: 0
Aborted SWP{B}: 1
Last process: 314
---
NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely on an external
transaction monitoring block called a global monitor to maintain update
atomicity. If your system does not implement a global monitor, this option can
cause programs that perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock, as
the STREX operation will always fail.
