+
+//! API to safely and fallibly initialize pinned `struct`s using in-place constructors.
+//!
+//! It also allows in-place initialization of big `struct`s that would otherwise produce a stack
+//! overflow.
+//!
+//! Most `struct`s from the [`sync`] module need to be pinned, because they contain self-referential
+//! `struct`s from C. [Pinning][pinning] is Rust's way of ensuring data does not move.
+//!
+//! # Overview
+//!
+//! To initialize a `struct` with an in-place constructor you will need two things:
+//! - an in-place constructor,
+//! - a memory location that can hold your `struct` (this can be the [stack], an [`Arc<T>`],
+//!   [`UniqueArc<T>`], [`Box<T>`] or any other smart pointer that implements [`InPlaceInit`]).
+//!
+//! To get an in-place constructor there are generally three options:
+//! - directly creating an in-place constructor using the [`pin_init!`] macro,
+//! - a custom function/macro returning an in-place constructor provided by someone else,
+//! - using the unsafe function [`pin_init_from_closure()`] to manually create an initializer.
+//!
+//! Aside from pinned initialization, this API also supports in-place construction without pinning,
+//! the macros/types/functions are generally named like the pinned variants without the `pin`
+//! prefix.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ## Using the [`pin_init!`] macro
+//!
+//! If you want to use [`PinInit`], then you will have to annotate your `struct` with
+//! `#[`[`pin_data`]`]`. It is a macro that uses `#[pin]` as a marker for
+//! [structurally pinned fields]. After doing this, you can then create an in-place constructor via
+//! [`pin_init!`]. The syntax is almost the same as normal `struct` initializers. The difference is
+//! that you need to write `<-` instead of `:` for fields that you want to initialize in-place.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! use kernel::{prelude::*, sync::Mutex, new_mutex};
+//! # use core::pin::Pin;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! struct Foo {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     a: Mutex<usize>,
+//!     b: u32,
+//! }
+//!
+//! let foo = pin_init!(Foo {
+//!     a <- new_mutex!(42, "Foo::a"),
+//!     b: 24,
+//! });
+//! ```
+//!
+//! `foo` now is of the type [`impl PinInit<Foo>`]. We can now use any smart pointer that we like
+//! (or just the stack) to actually initialize a `Foo`:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! # use kernel::{prelude::*, sync::Mutex, new_mutex};
+//! # use core::pin::Pin;
+//! # #[pin_data]
+//! # struct Foo {
+//! #     #[pin]
+//! #     a: Mutex<usize>,
+//! #     b: u32,
+//! # }
+//! # let foo = pin_init!(Foo {
+//! #     a <- new_mutex!(42, "Foo::a"),
+//! #     b: 24,
+//! # });
+//! let foo: Result<Pin<Box<Foo>>> = Box::pin_init(foo);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! For more information see the [`pin_init!`] macro.
+//!
+//! ## Using a custom function/macro that returns an initializer
+//!
+//! Many types from the kernel supply a function/macro that returns an initializer, because the
+//! above method only works for types where you can access the fields.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::{new_mutex, sync::{Arc, Mutex}};
+//! let mtx: Result<Arc<Mutex<usize>>> = Arc::pin_init(new_mutex!(42, "example::mtx"));
+//! ```
+//!
+//! To declare an init macro/function you just return an [`impl PinInit<T, E>`]:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! # use kernel::{sync::Mutex, prelude::*, new_mutex, init::PinInit, try_pin_init};
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! struct DriverData {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     status: Mutex<i32>,
+//!     buffer: Box<[u8; 1_000_000]>,
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl DriverData {
+//!     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self, Error> {
+//!         try_pin_init!(Self {
+//!             status <- new_mutex!(0, "DriverData::status"),
+//!             buffer: Box::init(kernel::init::zeroed())?,
+//!         })
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Manual creation of an initializer
+//!
+//! Often when working with primitives the previous approaches are not sufficient. That is where
+//! [`pin_init_from_closure()`] comes in. This `unsafe` function allows you to create a
+//! [`impl PinInit<T, E>`] directly from a closure. Of course you have to ensure that the closure
+//! actually does the initialization in the correct way. Here are the things to look out for
+//! (we are calling the parameter to the closure `slot`):
+//! - when the closure returns `Ok(())`, then it has completed the initialization successfully, so
+//!   `slot` now contains a valid bit pattern for the type `T`,
+//! - when the closure returns `Err(e)`, then the caller may deallocate the memory at `slot`, so
+//!   you need to take care to clean up anything if your initialization fails mid-way,
+//! - you may assume that `slot` will stay pinned even after the closure returns until `drop` of
+//!   `slot` gets called.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use kernel::{prelude::*, init};
+//! use core::{ptr::addr_of_mut, marker::PhantomPinned, pin::Pin};
+//! # mod bindings {
+//! #     pub struct foo;
+//! #     pub unsafe fn init_foo(_ptr: *mut foo) {}
+//! #     pub unsafe fn destroy_foo(_ptr: *mut foo) {}
+//! #     pub unsafe fn enable_foo(_ptr: *mut foo, _flags: u32) -> i32 { 0 }
+//! # }
+//! /// # Invariants
+//! ///
+//! /// `foo` is always initialized
+//! #[pin_data(PinnedDrop)]
+//! pub struct RawFoo {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     foo: Opaque<bindings::foo>,
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     _p: PhantomPinned,
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl RawFoo {
+//!     pub fn new(flags: u32) -> impl PinInit<Self, Error> {
+//!         // SAFETY:
+//!         // - when the closure returns `Ok(())`, then it has successfully initialized and
+//!         //   enabled `foo`,
+//!         // - when it returns `Err(e)`, then it has cleaned up before
+//!         unsafe {
+//!             init::pin_init_from_closure(move |slot: *mut Self| {
+//!                 // `slot` contains uninit memory, avoid creating a reference.
+//!                 let foo = addr_of_mut!((*slot).foo);
+//!
+//!                 // Initialize the `foo`
+//!                 bindings::init_foo(Opaque::raw_get(foo));
+//!
+//!                 // Try to enable it.
+//!                 let err = bindings::enable_foo(Opaque::raw_get(foo), flags);
+//!                 if err != 0 {
+//!                     // Enabling has failed, first clean up the foo and then return the error.
+//!                     bindings::destroy_foo(Opaque::raw_get(foo));
+//!                     return Err(Error::from_kernel_errno(err));
+//!                 }
+//!
+//!                 // All fields of `RawFoo` have been initialized, since `_p` is a ZST.
+//!                 Ok(())
+//!             })
+//!         }
+//!     }
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[pinned_drop]
+//! impl PinnedDrop for RawFoo {
+//!     fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
+//!         // SAFETY: Since `foo` is initialized, destroying is safe.
+//!         unsafe { bindings::destroy_foo(self.foo.get()) };
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! For the special case where initializing a field is a single FFI-function call that cannot fail,
+//! there exist the helper function [`Opaque::ffi_init`]. This function initialize a single
+//! [`Opaque`] field by just delegating to the supplied closure. You can use these in combination
+//! with [`pin_init!`].
+//!
+//! For more information on how to use [`pin_init_from_closure()`], take a look at the uses inside
+//! the `kernel` crate. The [`sync`] module is a good starting point.

+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, macros::pin_data, init::*};

+/// # initializer }
+/// # Box::pin_init(demo()).unwrap();
+/// ```
+///
+/// Arbitrary Rust expressions can be used to set the value of a variable.
+///
+/// The fields are initialized in the order that they appear in the initializer. So it is possible
+/// to read already initialized fields using raw pointers.
+///
+/// IMPORTANT: You are not allowed to create references to fields of the struct inside of the
+/// initializer.
+///
+/// # Init-functions
+///
+/// When working with this API it is often desired to let others construct your types without
+/// giving access to all fields. This is where you would normally write a plain function `new`
+/// that would return a new instance of your type. With this API that is also possible.
+/// However, there are a few extra things to keep in mind.
+///
+/// To create an initializer function, simply declare it like this:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, prelude::*, init::*};
+/// # use core::pin::Pin;
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Foo {
+/// #     a: usize,
+/// #     b: Bar,
+/// # }
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Bar {
+/// #     x: u32,
+/// # }
+/// impl Foo {
+///     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+///         pin_init!(Self {
+///             a: 42,
+///             b: Bar {
+///                 x: 64,
+///             },
+///         })
+///     }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Users of `Foo` can now create it like this:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, macros::pin_data, init::*};
+/// # use core::pin::Pin;
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Foo {
+/// #     a: usize,
+/// #     b: Bar,
+/// # }
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Bar {
+/// #     x: u32,
+/// # }
+/// # impl Foo {
+/// #     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+/// #         pin_init!(Self {
+/// #             a: 42,
+/// #             b: Bar {
+/// #                 x: 64,
+/// #             },
+/// #         })
+/// #     }
+/// # }
+/// let foo = Box::pin_init(Foo::new());
+/// ```
+///
+/// They can also easily embed it into their own `struct`s:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, macros::pin_data, init::*};
+/// # use core::pin::Pin;
+/// # #[pin_data]

+/// #     a: usize,
+/// #     b: Bar,
+/// # }
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Bar {
+/// #     x: u32,
+/// # }
+/// # impl Foo {
+/// #     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+/// #         pin_init!(Self {
+/// #             a: 42,
+/// #             b: Bar {
+/// #                 x: 64,
+/// #             },
+/// #         })
+/// #     }
+/// # }
+/// #[pin_data]
+/// struct FooContainer {
+///     #[pin]
+///     foo1: Foo,
+///     #[pin]
+///     foo2: Foo,
+///     other: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// impl FooContainer {
+///     fn new(other: u32) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+///         pin_init!(Self {
+///             foo1 <- Foo::new(),
+///             foo2 <- Foo::new(),
+///             other,
+///         })
+///     }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Here we see that when using `pin_init!` with `PinInit`, one needs to write `<-` instead of `:`.
+/// This signifies that the given field is initialized in-place. As with `struct` initializers, just
+/// writing the field (in this case `other`) without `:` or `<-` means `other: other,`.
+///
+/// # Syntax
+///
+/// As already mentioned in the examples above, inside of `pin_init!` a `struct` initializer with
+/// the following modifications is expected:
+/// - Fields that you want to initialize in-place have to use `<-` instead of `:`.
+/// - In front of the initializer you can write `&this in` to have access to a [`NonNull<Self>`]
+///   pointer named `this` inside of the initializer.
+///
+/// For instance:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # use kernel::pin_init;
+/// # use macros::pin_data;
+/// # use core::{ptr::addr_of_mut, marker::PhantomPinned};
+/// #[pin_data]
+/// struct Buf {
+///     // `ptr` points into `buf`.
+///     ptr: *mut u8,
+///     buf: [u8; 64],
+///     #[pin]
+///     pin: PhantomPinned,
+/// }
+/// pin_init!(&this in Buf {
+///     buf: [0; 64],
+///     ptr: unsafe { addr_of_mut!((*this.as_ptr()).buf).cast() },
+///     pin: PhantomPinned,
+/// });
+/// ```
+///
+/// [`try_pin_init!`]: kernel::try_pin_init
+/// [`NonNull<Self>`]: core::ptr::NonNull

+
+//! This module provides the macros that actually implement the proc-macros `pin_data` and
+//! `pinned_drop`.
+//!
+//! These macros should never be called directly, since they expect their input to be
+//! in a certain format which is internal. Use the proc-macros instead.
+//!
+//! This architecture has been chosen because the kernel does not yet have access to `syn` which
+//! would make matters a lot easier for implementing these as proc-macros.
+//!
+//! # Macro expansion example
+//!
+//! This section is intended for readers trying to understand the macros in this module and the
+//! `pin_init!` macros from `init.rs`.
+//!
+//! We will look at the following example:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::init::*;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl<T> Bar<T> {
+//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//!         pin_init!(Self { t, x: 0 })
+//!     }
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[pin_data(PinnedDrop)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//!     a: usize,
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     b: Bar<u32>,
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[pinned_drop]
+//! impl PinnedDrop for Foo {
+//!     fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
+//!         println!("{self:p} is getting dropped.");
+//!     }
+//! }
+//!
+//! let a = 42;
+//! let initializer = pin_init!(Foo {
+//!     a,
+//!     b <- Bar::new(36),
+//! });
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This example includes the most common and important features of the pin-init API.
+//!
+//! Below you can find individual section about the different macro invocations. Here are some
+//! general things we need to take into account when designing macros:
+//! - use global paths, similarly to file paths, these start with the separator: `::core::panic!()`
+//!   this ensures that the correct item is used, since users could define their own `mod core {}`
+//!   and then their own `panic!` inside to execute arbitrary code inside of our macro.
+//! - macro `unsafe` hygiene: we need to ensure that we do not expand arbitrary, user-supplied
+//!   expressions inside of an `unsafe` block in the macro, because this would allow users to do
+//!   `unsafe` operations without an associated `unsafe` block.
+//!
+//! ## `#[pin_data]` on `Bar`
+//!
+//! This macro is used to specify which fields are structurally pinned and which fields are not. It
+//! is placed on the struct definition and allows `#[pin]` to be placed on the fields.
+//!
+//! Here is the definition of `Bar` from our example:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::init::*;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This expands to the following code:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! // Firstly the normal definition of the struct, attributes are preserved:
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//! // Then an anonymous constant is defined, this is because we do not want any code to access the
+//! // types that we define inside:
+//! const _: () = {
+//!     // We define the pin-data carrying struct, it is a ZST and needs to have the same generics,
+//!     // since we need to implement access functions for each field and thus need to know its
+//!     // type.
+//!     struct __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         __phantom: ::core::marker::PhantomData<fn(Bar<T>) -> Bar<T>>,
+//!     }
+//!     // We implement `Copy` for the pin-data struct, since all functions it defines will take
+//!     // `self` by value.
+//!     impl<T> ::core::clone::Clone for __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         fn clone(&self) -> Self {
+//!             *self
+//!         }
+//!     }
+//!     impl<T> ::core::marker::Copy for __ThePinData<T> {}
+//!     // For every field of `Bar`, the pin-data struct will define a function with the same name
+//!     // and accessor (`pub` or `pub(crate)` etc.). This function will take a pointer to the
+//!     // field (`slot`) and a `PinInit` or `Init` depending on the projection kind of the field
+//!     // (if pinning is structural for the field, then `PinInit` otherwise `Init`).
+//!     #[allow(dead_code)]
+//!     impl<T> __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         unsafe fn t<E>(
+//!             self,
+//!             slot: *mut T,

+//!
+//! This expands to the following code:

+//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//!         {

+//! A wrapper for data protected by a lock that does not wrap it.
+
+use super::{lock::Backend, lock::Lock};
+use crate::build_assert;
+use core::{cell::UnsafeCell, mem::size_of, ptr};
+
+/// Allows access to some data to be serialised by a lock that does not wrap it.
+///
+/// In most cases, data protected by a lock is wrapped by the appropriate lock type, e.g.,
+/// [`super::Mutex`] or [`super::SpinLock`]. [`LockedBy`] is meant for cases when this is not
+/// possible. For example, if a container has a lock and some data in the contained elements needs
+/// to be protected by the same lock.
+///
+/// [`LockedBy`] wraps the data in lieu of another locking primitive, and only allows access to it
+/// when the caller shows evidence that the 'external' lock is locked. It panics if the evidence
+/// refers to the wrong instance of the lock.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// The following is an example for illustrative purposes: `InnerDirectory::bytes_used` is an
+/// aggregate of all `InnerFile::bytes_used` and must be kept consistent; so we wrap `InnerFile` in
+/// a `LockedBy` so that it shares a lock with `InnerDirectory`. This allows us to enforce at
+/// compile-time that access to `InnerFile` is only granted when an `InnerDirectory` is also
+/// locked; we enforce at run time that the right `InnerDirectory` is locked.
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::sync::{LockedBy, Mutex};
+///
+/// struct InnerFile {
+///     bytes_used: u64,
+/// }
+///
+/// struct File {
+///     _ino: u32,
+///     inner: LockedBy<InnerFile, InnerDirectory>,

+/// fn inc_bytes_used(dir: &Directory, file: &File) {
