Subject: [PATCH v3] ipmi:si: Add async init to ipmi_si
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:48:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810074851.306979-1-mclapinski@google.com> (raw)

Added a new config option to allow offloading individual calls to
try_smi_init() using workqueue.

Saves 100ms on my system.

Signed-off-by: Michal Clapinski <mclapinski@google.com>
---
v3:
- removed __init from the async function
- reimplemented the whole thing with a workqueue
- added cancel_work_sync to cleanup_one_si, which means cleanup_one_si
  now has to run without the smi_infos_lock
v2:
- instead of offloading the whole init function, offload just the
  individual calls to try_smi_init()
