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. +//! +//!
