[PATCH v3 12/13] rust: sync: introduce `CondVar`
From: Wedson Almeida Filho
Date: Sat Apr 08 2023 - 03:55:32 EST
From: Wedson Almeida Filho <walmeida@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This is the traditional condition variable or monitor synchronisation
primitive. It is implemented with C's `wait_queue_head_t`.
It allows users to release a lock and go to sleep while guaranteeing
that notifications won't be missed. This is achieved by enqueuing a wait
entry before releasing the lock.

v1 -> v2: Use the new `current` macro
v2 -> v3: Use new Opaque::ffi_init from Benno's series

+///
+/// Exposes the kernel's [`struct wait_queue_head`] as a condition variable. It allows the caller to
+/// atomically release the given lock and go to sleep. It reacquires the lock when it wakes up. And
+/// it wakes up when notified by another thread (via [`CondVar::notify_one`] or

+/// Instances of [`CondVar`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such

+///
+/// #[pin_data]
