+//! A kernel mutex.
+//!
+//! This module allows Rust code to use the kernel's `struct mutex`.
+
+use crate::bindings;
+
+/// Creates a [`Mutex`] initialiser with the given name and a newly-created lock class.
+///
+/// It uses the name if one is given, otherwise it generates one based on the file name and line
+/// number.
+#[macro_export]
+macro_rules! new_mutex {
+ ($inner:expr $(, $name:literal)? $(,)?) => {
+ $crate::sync::Mutex::new(
+ $inner, $crate::optional_name!($($name)?), $crate::static_lock_class!())
+ };
+}
+
+/// A mutual exclusion primitive.
+///
+/// Exposes the kernel's [`struct mutex`]. When multiple threads attempt to lock the same mutex,
+/// only one at a time is allowed to progress, the others will block (sleep) until the mutex is
+/// unlocked, at which point another thread will be allowed to wake up and make progress.
+///
+/// Since it may block, [`Mutex`] needs to be used with care in atomic contexts.
+///
+/// Instances of [`Mutex`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such
+/// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init) and [`new_mutex`] macros.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// The following example shows how to declare, allocate and initialise a struct (`Example`) that
+/// contains an inner struct (`Inner`) that is protected by a mutex.
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::{init::InPlaceInit, init::PinInit, new_mutex, pin_init, sync::Mutex};
+///
+/// struct Inner {
+/// a: u32,
+/// b: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// #[pin_data]
+/// struct Example {
+/// c: u32,
+/// #[pin]
+/// d: Mutex<Inner>,
+/// }
+///
+/// impl Example {
+/// fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+/// pin_init!(Self {
+/// c: 10,
+/// d <- new_mutex!(Inner { a: 20, b: 30 }),
+/// })
+/// }
+/// }
+///
+/// // Allocate a boxed `Example`.
+/// let e = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;
+/// assert_eq!(e.c, 10);
+/// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().a, 20);
+/// assert_eq!(e.d.lock().b, 30);
+/// ```
+///
+/// The following example shows how to use interior mutability to modify the contents of a struct
+/// protected by a mutex despite only having a shared reference:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::sync::Mutex;
+///
+/// struct Example {
+/// a: u32,
+/// b: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// fn example(m: &Mutex<Example>) {
+/// let mut guard = m.lock();
+/// guard.a += 10;
+/// guard.b += 20;
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h
+pub type Mutex<T> = super::Lock<T, MutexBackend>;
+
+/// A kernel `struct mutex` lock backend.
+pub struct MutexBackend;
+
+// SAFETY: The underlying kernel `struct mutex` object ensures mutual exclusion.
+unsafe impl super::Backend for MutexBackend {
+ type State = bindings::mutex;
+ type GuardState = ();
+
+ unsafe fn init(
+ ptr: *mut Self::State,
+ name: *const core::ffi::c_char,
+ key: *mut bindings::lock_class_key,

+ unsafe { bindings::mutex_lock(ptr) };

+
+ unsafe fn unlock(ptr: *mut Self::State, _guard_state: &Self::GuardState) {
