Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] rust: convert `Arc` to use `Refcount`
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:32:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250723233312.3304339-4-gary@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250723233312.3304339-1-gary@kernel.org>

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

With `Refcount` type created, `Arc` can use `Refcount` instead of
calling into FFI directly.

-//! 1. It is backed by the kernel's `refcount_t` type.
+//! 1. It is backed by the kernel's [`Refcount`] 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.
