3//! A reference-counted pointer.
4//!
5//! This module implements a way for users to create reference-counted objects and pointers to
6//! them. Such a pointer automatically increments and decrements the count, and drops the
7//! underlying object when it reaches zero. It is also safe to use concurrently from multiple
8//! threads.
9//!
10//! It is different from the standard library's [`Arc`] in a few ways:
11//! 1. It is backed by the kernel's [`Refcount`] type.
12//! 2. It does not support weak references, which allows it to be half the size.
13//! 3. It saturates the reference count instead of aborting when it goes over a threshold.
14//! 4. It does not provide a `get_mut` method, so the ref counted object is pinned.
15//! 5. The object in [`Arc`] is pinned implicitly.
16//!

41/// A reference-counted pointer to an instance of `T`.
42///
43/// The reference count is incremented when new instances of [`Arc`] are created, and decremented
44/// when they are dropped. When the count reaches zero, the underlying `T` is also dropped.
45///
46/// # Invariants
47///
48/// The reference count on an instance of [`Arc`] is always non-zero.
49/// The object pointed to by [`Arc`] is always pinned.
50///
51/// # Examples
52///
53/// ```
54/// use kernel::sync::Arc;
55///
56/// struct Example {
57/// a: u32,
58/// b: u32,
59/// }
60///

65/// let cloned = obj.clone();
66///
67/// // Assert that both `obj` and `cloned` point to the same underlying object.
68/// assert!(core::ptr::eq(&*obj, &*cloned));
69///
70/// // Destroy `obj` and decrement its refcount.
71/// drop(obj);
72///
73/// // Check that the values are still accessible through `cloned`.
74/// assert_eq!(cloned.a, 10);
75/// assert_eq!(cloned.b, 20);
76///
77/// // The refcount drops to zero when `cloned` goes out of scope, and the memory is freed.
78/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
79/// ```
80///
81/// Using `Arc<T>` as the type of `self`:
82///
83/// ```
84/// use kernel::sync::Arc;
85///
86/// struct Example {
87/// a: u32,
88/// b: u32,
89/// }
90///
91/// impl Example {
92/// fn take_over(self: Arc<Self>) {

102/// obj.use_reference();
103/// obj.take_over();
104/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
105/// ```

617///
618/// # Invariants
619///
620/// `inner` always has a reference count of 1.
621///
622/// # Examples
623///
624/// In the following example, we make changes to the inner object before turning it into an
625/// `Arc<Test>` object (after which point, it cannot be mutated directly). Note that `x.into()`
626/// cannot fail.
627///
628/// ```
629/// use kernel::sync::{Arc, UniqueArc};
630///
631/// struct Example {
632/// a: u32,
633/// b: u32,
634/// }
635///
636/// fn test() -> Result<Arc<Example>> {
637/// let mut x = UniqueArc::new(Example { a: 10, b: 20 }, GFP_KERNEL)?;
638/// x.a += 1;
639/// x.b += 1;
640/// Ok(x.into())
641/// }
642///
643/// # test().unwrap();
644/// ```
645///
646/// In the following example we first allocate memory for a refcounted `Example` but we don't
647/// initialise it on allocation. We do initialise it later with a call to [`UniqueArc::write`],
648/// followed by a conversion to `Arc<Example>`. This is particularly useful when allocation happens
649/// in one context (e.g., sleepable) and initialisation in another (e.g., atomic):
650///
651/// ```
652/// use kernel::sync::{Arc, UniqueArc};
653///
654/// struct Example {
655/// a: u32,
656/// b: u32,
657/// }
658///
659/// fn test() -> Result<Arc<Example>> {
660/// let x = UniqueArc::new_uninit(GFP_KERNEL)?;
661/// Ok(x.write(Example { a: 10, b: 20 }).into())
662/// }
663///
664/// # test().unwrap();
665/// ```
666///
667/// In the last example below, the caller gets a pinned instance of `Example` while converting to
668/// `Arc<Example>`; this is useful in scenarios where one needs a pinned reference during
669/// initialisation, for example, when initialising fields that are wrapped in locks.
670///
671/// ```
672/// use kernel::sync::{Arc, UniqueArc};
673///
674/// struct Example {
675/// a: u32,
676/// b: u32,
677/// }
678///
679/// fn test() -> Result<Arc<Example>> {
680/// let mut pinned = Pin::from(UniqueArc::new(Example { a: 10, b: 20 }, GFP_KERNEL)?);
681/// // We can modify `pinned` because it is `Unpin`.
682/// pinned.as_mut().a += 1;
683/// Ok(pinned.into())
684/// }
685///
686/// # test().unwrap();
687/// ```
