//! A reference-counted pointer.
//!
//! This module implements a way for users to create reference-counted objects and pointers to
//! them. Such a pointer automatically increments and decrements the count, and drops the
//! underlying object when it reaches zero. It is also safe to use concurrently from multiple
//! threads.
//!
//! It is different from the standard library's [`Arc`] in a few ways:
//! 1. It is backed by the kernel's `refcount_t` type.
//! 2. It does not support weak references, which allows it to be half the size.
//! 3. It saturates the reference count instead of aborting when it goes over a threshold.
//! 4. It does not provide a `get_mut` method, so the ref counted object is pinned.
//!
//! [`Arc`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Arc.html

/// initialise it on allocation. We do initialise it later with a call to [`UniqueArc::write`],
/// followed by a conversion to `Arc<Example>`. This is particularly useful when allocation happens
/// in one context (e.g., sleepable) and initialisation in another (e.g., atomic):
///
/// ```
/// use kernel::sync::{Arc, UniqueArc};
///
/// struct Example {
///     a: u32,
///     b: u32,
/// }
///
/// fn test() -> Result<Arc<Example>> {

///     Ok(x.write(Example { a: 10, b: 20 }).into())
/// }
///
/// # test().unwrap();
/// ```
///
/// In the last example below, the caller gets a pinned instance of `Example` while converting to
/// `Arc<Example>`; this is useful in scenarios where one needs a pinned reference during
/// initialisation, for example, when initialising fields that are wrapped in locks.
///
