20 /// A spinlock.
21 ///
22 /// Exposes the kernel's [`spinlock_t`]. When multiple CPUs attempt to lock the same spinlock, only
23 /// one at a time is allowed to progress, the others will block (spinning) until the spinlock is
24 /// unlocked, at which point another CPU will be allowed to make progress.
25 ///
26 /// Instances of [`SpinLock`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such
27 /// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init) and [`new_spinlock`] macros.
28 ///
29 /// # Examples
30 ///
31 /// The following example shows how to declare, allocate and initialise a struct (`Example`) that
32 /// contains an inner struct (`Inner`) that is protected by a spinlock.
33 ///
34 /// ```
35 /// use kernel::sync::{new_spinlock, SpinLock};
36 ///
37 /// struct Inner {
38 ///     a: u32,
39 ///     b: u32,
40 /// }
41 ///
42 /// #[pin_data]
43 /// struct Example {
44 ///     c: u32,
45 ///     #[pin]
46 ///     d: SpinLock<Inner>,
47 /// }
48 ///
49 /// impl Example {
50 ///     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
51 ///         pin_init!(Self {
52 ///             c: 10,
53 ///             d <- new_spinlock!(Inner { a: 20, b: 30 }),
54 ///         })
55 ///     }
56 /// }
57 ///
58 /// // Allocate a boxed `Example`.
59 /// let e = Box::pin_init(Example::new(), GFP_KERNEL)?;
60 /// assert_eq!(e.c, 10);
61 /// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().a, 20);
62 /// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().b, 30);
63 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
64 /// ```
65 ///
66 /// The following example shows how to use interior mutability to modify the contents of a struct
67 /// protected by a spinlock despite only having a shared reference:
68 ///
69 /// ```
70 /// use kernel::sync::SpinLock;
71 ///
72 /// struct Example {
73 ///     a: u32,
74 ///     b: u32,
75 /// }
76 ///
77 /// fn example(m: &SpinLock<Example>) {
78 ///     let mut guard = m.lock();
79 ///     guard.a += 10;
80 ///     guard.b += 20;
81 /// }
82 /// ```
