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