[PATCH] rust: sync: Accept errors for Lock payload data

From: Philipp Stanner

Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 04:59:58 EST


The `Lock` baseclass currently does not allow for fallible user-data.
This can cause conflicts when used with other primitives, for example
when a lock shall be pin-initialized with payload data that is fallible.

Add support for the lock base class so that it works with
try_pin_init!(). Adjust spinlock and mutex accordingly.

Regarding removal of the CStrExt, I got "unused import" errors because
of it. Don't fully understand why?

P.
