Since `Arc<T>` does not allow mutating `T` directly (i.e., without inner mutability), it is currently not possible to do some initialisation of `T` post construction but before being shared. `UniqueArc<T>` addresses this problem essentially being an `Arc<T>` that has a refcount of 1 and is therefore writable. Once initialisation is completed, it can be transitioned (without failure paths) into an `Arc<T>`.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
