This corresponds to the NT syscall NtCreateSemaphore(). Semaphores are one of three types of object to be implemented in this driver, the others being mutexes and events. An NT semaphore contains a 32-bit counter, and is signaled and can be acquired when the counter is nonzero. The counter has a maximum value which is specified at creation time. The initial value of the semaphore is also specified at creation time. There are no restrictions on the maximum and initial value. Each object is exposed as an file, to which any number of fds may be opened. When all fds are closed, the object is deleted. Objects hold a pointer to the ntsync_device that created them. The device's reference count is driven by struct file.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
