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