Subject: [PATCH] drivers: base: Set mod->async_probe_requested if needed
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 09:05:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407160511.56289-1-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)

If PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is set for a device driver, and if loading
other kernel modules depends on probing of that device driver to
complete, e.g. because it is a storage driver, and if
mod->async_probe_requested has not been set, then the
async_synchronize_full() call in do_init_module() introduces a delay.
Fix this by setting mod->async_probe_requested if
PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS has been set. This patch reduces the Pixel 10
boot time by 100 ms.
