9/// Creates a [`Mutex`] initialiser with the given name and a newly-created lock class.

11/// It uses the name if one is given, otherwise it generates one based on the file name and line
12/// number.

21/// A mutual exclusion primitive.
22///
23/// Exposes the kernel's [`struct mutex`]. When multiple threads attempt to lock the same mutex,
24/// only one at a time is allowed to progress, the others will block (sleep) until the mutex is
25/// unlocked, at which point another thread will be allowed to wake up and make progress.
26///
27/// Since it may block, [`Mutex`] needs to be used with care in atomic contexts.
28///
29/// Instances of [`Mutex`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such
30/// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init) and [`new_mutex`] macros.
31///
32/// # Examples
33///
34/// The following example shows how to declare, allocate and initialise a struct (`Example`) that
35/// contains an inner struct (`Inner`) that is protected by a mutex.
36///
37/// ```
38/// use kernel::{init::InPlaceInit, init::PinInit, new_mutex, pin_init, sync::Mutex};
39///
40/// struct Inner {
41/// a: u32,
42/// b: u32,
43/// }
44///
45/// #[pin_data]
46/// struct Example {
47/// c: u32,
48/// #[pin]
49/// d: Mutex<Inner>,
50/// }
51///
52/// impl Example {
53/// fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
54/// pin_init!(Self {
55/// c: 10,
56/// d <- new_mutex!(Inner { a: 20, b: 30 }),
57/// })
58/// }
59/// }
60///
61/// // Allocate a boxed `Example`.
62/// let e = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;
63/// assert_eq!(e.c, 10);
64/// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().a, 20);
65/// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().b, 30);
66/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
67/// ```
68///
69/// The following example shows how to use interior mutability to modify the contents of a struct
70/// protected by a mutex despite only having a shared reference:
71///
72/// ```
73/// use kernel::sync::Mutex;
74///
75/// struct Example {
76/// a: u32,
77/// b: u32,
78/// }
79///
80/// fn example(m: &Mutex<Example>) {
81/// let mut guard = m.lock();
82/// guard.a += 10;
83/// guard.b += 20;
84/// }
85/// ```
86///
87/// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h
88pub type Mutex<T> = super::Lock<T, MutexBackend>;
89
90/// A kernel `struct mutex` lock backend.
91pub struct MutexBackend;
92
93// SAFETY: The underlying kernel `struct mutex` object ensures mutual exclusion.
94unsafe impl super::Backend for MutexBackend {
95 type State = bindings::mutex;
96 type GuardState = ();

105 unsafe { bindings::__mutex_init(ptr, name, key) }
