Abstract
A mechanism for asynchronous input/output (I/O) using second stack switching in kernel space is disclosed. A method of the invention includes receiving, by a kernel executing in a computing device, an input/output (I/O) request from an application thread executing using a first stack, allocating a second stack in kernel space of the computing device, switching execution of the thread to the second stack, and processing the I/O request synchronously using the second stack.
