// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 //! 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. //! //!
