Mutex type whose methods panic rather than returning error in case of //! poison. //! //! The Mutex type in this module wraps the standard library Mutex and mirrors //! the same methods, except that they panic where the standard library would //! return a PoisonError. This API codifies our error handling strategy around //! poisoned mutexes in crosvm. //! //! - Crosvm releases are built with panic=abort so poisoning never occurs. A //! panic while a mutex is held (or ever) takes down the entire process. Thus //! we would like for code not to have to consider the possibility of poison. //! //! - We could ask developers to always write `.lock().unwrap()` on a standard //! library mutex. However, we would like to stigmatize the use of unwrap. It //! is confusing to permit unwrap but only on mutex lock results. During code //! review it may not always be obvious whether a particular unwrap is //! unwrapping a mutex lock result or a different error that should be handled //! in a more principled way. //! //! Developers should feel free to use sync::Mutex anywhere in crosvm that they //! would otherwise be using std::sync::Mutex. use std::fmt::{self, Debug, Display}; use std::sync::{Mutex as StdMutex, MutexGuard, TryLockError}; /// A mutual exclusion primitive useful for protecting shared data. #[derive(Default)] pub struct Mutex { std: StdMutex, } impl Mutex { /// Creates a new mutex in an unlocked state ready for use. pub fn new(value: T) -> Mutex { Mutex { std: StdMutex::new(value), } } /// Consumes this mutex, returning the underlying data. pub fn into_inner(self) -> T { match self.std.into_inner() { Ok(value) => value, Err(_) => panic!("mutex is poisoned"), } } } impl Mutex { /// Acquires a mutex, blocking the current thread until it is able to do so. /// /// This function will block the local thread until it is available to /// acquire the mutex.
