I believe this to be safe, as the main thing that LockRefPtr provides
over RefPtr is safe copying from a shared LockRefPtr instance. I've
inspected the uses of RefPtr<PhysicalPage> and it seems they're all
guarded by external locking. Some of it is less obvious, but this is
an area where we're making continuous headway.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of having two separate implementations of AK::RefCounted, one
for userspace and one for kernelspace, there is now RefCounted and
AtomicRefCounted.
All users which relied on the default constructor use a None lock rank
for now. This will make it easier to in the future remove LockRank and
actually annotate the ranks by searching for None.
We do that to increase clarity of the major and secondary components in
the subsystem. To ensure it's even more understandable, we rename the
files to better represent the class within them and to remove redundancy
in the name.
Also, some includes are removed from the general components of the ATA
components' classes.
