9 /// Allows access to some data to be serialised by a lock that does not wrap it.
10 ///
11 /// In most cases, data protected by a lock is wrapped by the appropriate lock type, e.g.,
12 /// [`super::Mutex`] or [`super::SpinLock`]. [`LockedBy`] is meant for cases when this is not
13 /// possible. For example, if a container has a lock and some data in the contained elements needs
14 /// to be protected by the same lock.
15 ///
16 /// [`LockedBy`] wraps the data in lieu of another locking primitive, and only allows access to it
17 /// when the caller shows evidence that the 'external' lock is locked. It panics if the evidence
18 /// refers to the wrong instance of the lock.
19 ///
20 /// # Examples
21 ///
22 /// The following is an example for illustrative purposes: `InnerDirectory::bytes_used` is an
23 /// aggregate of all `InnerFile::bytes_used` and must be kept consistent; so we wrap `InnerFile` in
24 /// a `LockedBy` so that it shares a lock with `InnerDirectory`. This allows us to enforce at
25 /// compile-time that access to `InnerFile` is only granted when an `InnerDirectory` is also
26 /// locked; we enforce at run time that the right `InnerDirectory` is locked.
27 ///
28 /// ```
29 /// use kernel::sync::{LockedBy, Mutex};
30 ///
31 /// struct InnerFile {
32 ///     bytes_used: u64,
33 /// }
34 ///

37 ///     inner: LockedBy<InnerFile, InnerDirectory>,
