+### What it does
+Checks for calls to await while holding a `RefCell` `Ref` or `RefMut`.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+`RefCell` refs only check for exclusive mutable access
+at runtime. Holding onto a `RefCell` ref across an `await` suspension point
+risks panics from a mutable ref shared while other refs are outstanding.
+
+### Known problems
+Will report false positive for explicitly dropped refs
+([#6353](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6353)). A workaround for this is
+to wrap the `.borrow[_mut]()` call in a block instead of explicitly dropping the ref.
+
+### Example
+```
+async fn foo(x: &RefCell<u32>) {
+ let mut y = x.borrow_mut();
+ *y += 1;
+ baz().await;
+}
+
+async fn bar(x: &RefCell<u32>) {
+ let mut y = x.borrow_mut();
+ *y += 1;
+ drop(y); // explicit drop
+ baz().await;
+}
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+async fn foo(x: &RefCell<u32>) {
+ {
+ let mut y = x.borrow_mut();
+ *y += 1;
+ }
+ baz().await;
+}
+
+async fn bar(x: &RefCell<u32>) {
+ {
+ let mut y = x.borrow_mut();
+ *y += 1;
+ } // y dropped here at end of scope
+ baz().await;
+}
+``` \ No newline at end of file
