  3//! A kernel mutex.

  5//! This module allows Rust code to use the kernel's `struct mutex`.

  7/// Creates a [`Mutex`] initialiser with the given name and a newly-created lock class.
  8///
  9/// It uses the name if one is given, otherwise it generates one based on the file name and line
 10/// number.

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