Mutex::blocking_lock_owned

[smessmer]

There is Mutex::try_lock_owned and Mutex::lock_owned, but I wasn't able to find a Mutex::blocking_lock_owned. Is there any specific reason for this omission?

Or is there a way to get the same behavior using the existing API somehow?

Looking at the implementation of blocking_lock, it's just a future::block_on(Mutex::lock), so I guess that answers my second question, I can easily get around the limitation by doing a call to block_on(Mutex::lock_owned).

edit: Ok not that easy since tokio::runtime::block_on is private

I wouldn't mind adding this.

You can implement it yourself by storing a tokio::runtime::Handle to the runtime and calling Handle::block_on.
