12Goals and Theory of Operation
13
14The primary goal of this feature is to reduce the kernel boot time,
15by doing various independent hardware delays and discovery operations
16decoupled and not strictly serialized.
17
18More specifically, the asynchronous function call concept allows
19certain operations (primarily during system boot) to happen
20asynchronously, out of order, while these operations still
21have their externally visible parts happen sequentially and in-order.
22(not unlike how out-of-order CPUs retire their instructions in order)
23
24Key to the asynchronous function call implementation is the concept of
25a "sequence cookie" (which, although it has an abstracted type, can be
26thought of as a monotonically incrementing number).
27
28The async core will assign each scheduled event such a sequence cookie and
29pass this to the called functions.
30
31The asynchronously called function should before doing a globally visible
32operation, such as registering device numbers, call the
33async_synchronize_cookie() function and pass in its own cookie. The
34async_synchronize_cookie() function will make sure that all asynchronous
35operations that were scheduled prior to the operation corresponding with the
36cookie have completed.
37
38Subsystem/driver initialization code that scheduled asynchronous probe
39functions, but which shares global resources with other drivers/subsystems
40that do not use the asynchronous call feature, need to do a full
41synchronization with the async_synchronize_full() function, before returning
42from their init function. This is to maintain strict ordering between the
43asynchronous and synchronous parts of the kernel.
