+//! A lock that never waits.
+
+use core::cell::UnsafeCell;
+use core::sync::atomic::{AtomicU8, Ordering};
+
+const LOCKED: u8 = 1;
+const CONTENDED: u8 = 2;
+
+/// A lock that only offers a [`try_lock`](NoWaitLock::try_lock) method.
+///
+/// That is, on contention it doesn't offer a way for the caller to block waiting for the current
+/// owner to release the lock. This is useful for best-effort kind of scenarios where waiting is
+/// never needed: in such cases, users don't need a full-featured mutex or spinlock.
+///
+/// When the lock is released via call to [`NoWaitLockGuard::unlock`], it indicates to the caller
+/// whether there was contention (i.e., if another thread tried and failed to acquire this lock).
+/// If the return value is `false`, there was definitely no contention but if it is `true`, it's
+/// possible that the contention was when attempting to acquire the lock.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::sync::NoWaitLock;
+///
+/// #[derive(PartialEq)]
+/// struct Example {
+/// a: u32,
+/// b: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// let x = NoWaitLock::new(Example{ a: 10, b: 20 });
+///
+/// // Modifying the protected value.
+/// {
+/// let mut guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert_eq!(guard.a, 10);
+/// assert_eq!(guard.b, 20);
+/// guard.a += 20;
+/// guard.b += 20;
+/// assert_eq!(guard.a, 30);
+/// assert_eq!(guard.b, 40);
+/// }
+///
+/// // Reading the protected value.
+/// {
+/// let guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert_eq!(guard.a, 30);
+/// assert_eq!(guard.b, 40);
+/// }
+///
+/// // Second acquire fails, but succeeds after the guard is dropped.
+/// {
+/// let guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert!(x.try_lock().is_none());
+///
+/// drop(guard);
+/// assert!(x.try_lock().is_some());
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// The following examples use the [`NoWaitLockGuard::unlock`] to release the lock and check for
+/// contention.
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::sync::NoWaitLock;
+///
+/// #[derive(PartialEq)]
+/// struct Example {
+/// a: u32,
+/// b: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// let x = NoWaitLock::new(Example{ a: 10, b: 20 });
+///
+/// // No contention when lock is released.
+/// let guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert_eq!(guard.unlock(), false);
+///
+/// // Contention detected.
+/// let guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert!(x.try_lock().is_none());
+/// assert_eq!(guard.unlock(), true);
+///
+/// // No contention again.
+/// let guard = x.try_lock().unwrap();
+/// assert_eq!(guard.a, 10);
+/// assert_eq!(guard.b, 20);
+/// assert_eq!(guard.unlock(), false);
