13 /// A reference-counted device.
14 ///
15 /// This structure represents the Rust abstraction for a C `struct device`. This implementation
16 /// abstracts the usage of an already existing C `struct device` within Rust code that we get
17 /// passed from the C side.
18 ///
19 /// An instance of this abstraction can be obtained temporarily or permanent.
20 ///
21 /// A temporary one is bound to the lifetime of the C `struct device` pointer used for creation.
22 /// A permanent instance is always reference-counted and hence not restricted by any lifetime
23 /// boundaries.
24 ///
25 /// For subsystems it is recommended to create a permanent instance to wrap into a subsystem
26 /// specific device structure (e.g. `pci::Device`). This is useful for passing it to drivers in
27 /// `T::probe()`, such that a driver can store the `ARef<Device>` (equivalent to storing a
28 /// `struct device` pointer in a C driver) for arbitrary purposes, e.g. allocating DMA coherent
29 /// memory.
30 ///
31 /// # Invariants
32 ///
33 /// The pointer stored in `Self` is non-null and valid for the lifetime of the `ARef` instance. In
34 /// particular, the `ARef` instance owns an increment on the underlying object’s reference count.
35 ///
36 /// `bindings::device::release` is valid to be called from any thread, hence `ARef<Device>` can be
37 /// dropped from any thread.
