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. 48 49 */ 50 51 #include <linux/async.h> 52 #include <linux/module.h> 53 #include <linux/wait.h> 54 #include <linux/sched.h> 55 #include <linux/init.h> 56 #include <linux/kthread.h> 57 #include <asm/atomic.h> 58 59 static async_cookie_t next_cookie = 1;
