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`](pin_init::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///

87pub type Mutex<T> = super::Lock<T, MutexBackend>;
88
89/// A [`Guard`] acquired from locking a [`Mutex`].
90///
