+/// Produces a pointer to an object from a pointer to one of its fields.
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// The pointer passed to this macro, and the pointer returned by this macro, must both be in
+/// bounds of the same allocation.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::container_of;
+/// struct Test {
+/// a: u64,
+/// b: u32,
+/// }
+///
+/// let test = Test { a: 10, b: 20 };
+/// let b_ptr = &test.b;
+/// // SAFETY: The pointer points at the `b` field of a `Test`, so the resulting pointer will be
+/// // in-bounds of the same allocation as `b_ptr`.
+/// let test_alias = unsafe { container_of!(b_ptr, Test, b) };
+/// assert!(core::ptr::eq(&test, test_alias));
