## Restoring BO content in parallel
Restoring the BO content is an important part in the restore of GPU state and
usually takes a significant amount of time. A possible location for this
procedure is the `cr_plugin_restore_file` hook. However, restoring in this hook
blocks the target process from performing other restore operations, which
hinders further optimization of the restore process.
Therefore, a new plugin hook that runs in the master restore process is
introduced, and it interacts with the `cr_plugin_restore_file` hook to complete
the restore of BO content. Specifically, the target process only needs to send
the relevant BOs to the master restore process, while this new hook handles all
the restore of buffer objects. Through this method, during the restore of the BO
content, the target process can perform other restore operations, thus
accelerating the restore procedure. This is an implementation of the gCROP
method proposed in the ACM SoCC'24 paper: [On-demand and Parallel
Checkpoint/Restore for GPU Applications](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3698038.3698510).
*This optimization technique is enabled by the `__POST_FORKING` hook.*
