16 Goals and Theory of Operation
17 
18 The primary goal of this feature is to reduce the kernel boot time,
19 by doing various independent hardware delays and discovery operations
20 decoupled and not strictly serialized.
21 
22 More specifically, the asynchronous function call concept allows
23 certain operations (primarily during system boot) to happen
24 asynchronously, out of order, while these operations still
25 have their externally visible parts happen sequentially and in-order.
26 (not unlike how out-of-order CPUs retire their instructions in order)
27 
28 Key to the asynchronous function call implementation is the concept of
29 a "sequence cookie" (which, although it has an abstracted type, can be
30 thought of as a monotonically incrementing number).
31 
32 The async core will assign each scheduled event such a sequence cookie and
33 pass this to the called functions.
34 
35 The asynchronously called function should before doing a globally visible
36 operation, such as registering device numbers, call the
37 async_synchronize_cookie() function and pass in its own cookie. The
38 async_synchronize_cookie() function will make sure that all asynchronous
39 operations that were scheduled prior to the operation corresponding with the
40 cookie have completed.
41 
42 Subsystem/driver initialization code that scheduled asynchronous probe
43 functions, but which shares global resources with other drivers/subsystems
44 that do not use the asynchronous call feature, need to do a full
45 synchronization with the async_synchronize_full() function, before returning
46 from their init function. This is to maintain strict ordering between the
47 asynchronous and synchronous parts of the kernel.
