  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.
