The purpose is to simplify the use of bpf_wq to defer blocking
operations in a sleepable context. Compared to a more "classic"
async approach, there is no sync mechanism to wait for the async
to finish.
The "simple" API is the following:
```
static int HID_BPF_ASYNC(async_fun)(struct hid_bpf_ctx *hctx)
{
bpf_printk("%s", __fun__);
return 0;
}
SEC("syscall")
int probe(struct hid_bpf_probe_args *ctx)
{
ctx->retval = HID_BPF_ASYNC_INIT(async_fun);
return 0;
}
SEC(HID_BPF_DEVICE_EVENT)
int BPF_PROG(event_handler, struct hid_bpf_ctx *hctx)
{
/* async_fun() can be called now, it's not a sleepable
* function in this example
*/
async_fun(hctx);
/* but we can also delay the call by 10 ms */
HID_BPF_ASYNC_DELAYED_CALL(async_fun, hctx, 10);
return 0;
}
HID_BPF_OPS(xppen_ack05_remote) = {
.hid_device_event = (void *)event_handler,
};
```

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
