引言
从本篇文章开始,我们将介绍 Java AQS 的实现方式,本文先介绍 AQS 的内部数据是如何组织的,后面的文章中再分别介绍 AQS 的各个部门实现。
AQS
通过前面的介绍,大家一定看出来了,上述的各种类型的锁和一些线程控制接口(CountDownLatch 等),最终都是通过 AQS 来实现的,不同之处只在于 tryAcquire 等抽象函数如何实现。从这个角度来看,AQS(AbstractQueuedSynchronizer) 这个基类设计的真的很不错,能够包容各种同步控制方案,并提供了必须的下层依赖:比如阻塞,队列等。接下来我们就来揭开它神秘的面纱。
内部数据
AQS 顾名思义,就是通过队列来组织修改互斥资源的请求。当这个资源空闲时间,那么修改请求可以直接进行,而当这个资源处于锁定状态时,就需要等待,AQS 会将所有等待的请求维护在一个类似于 CLH 的队列中。CLH:Craig、Landin and Hagersten队列,是单向链表,AQS中的队列是CLH变体的虚拟双向队列(FIFO),AQS是通过将每条请求共享资源的线程封装成一个节点来实现锁的分配。主要原理图如下:
图中的 state 是一个用 volatile 修饰的 int 变量,它的使用都是通过 CAS 来进行的,而 FIFO 队列完成请求排队的工作,队列的操作也是通过 CAS 来进行的,正因如此该队列的操作才能达到理想的性能要求。
通过 CAS 修改 state 比较容易,大家应该都能理解,但是如果要通过 CAS 维护一个双向队列要怎么做呢?这里我们看一下 AQS 中 CLH 队列的实现。在 AQS 中有两个指针一个指针指向了队列头,一个指向了队列尾。它们都是懒初始化的,也就是说最初都为null。
/** * Head of the wait queue, lazily initialized. Except for * initialization, it is modified only via method setHead. Note: * If head exists, its waitStatus is guaranteed not to be * CANCELLED. */private transient volatile Node head;/** * Tail of the wait queue, lazily initialized. Modified only via * method enq to add new wait node. */private transient volatile Node tail;
队列中的每个节点,都是一个 Node 实例,该实例的第一个关键字段是 waitState,它表述了当前节点所处的状态,通过 CAS 进行修改:
- SIGNAL:表示当前节点承担唤醒后继节点的责任
- CANCELLED:表示当前节点已经超时或者被打断
- CONDITION:表示当前节点正在 Condition 上等待(通过锁可以创建 Condition 对象)
- PROPAGATE:只会设置在 head 节点上,用于表明释放共享锁时,需要将这个行为传播到其他节点上,这个我们稍后详细介绍。
static final class Node { /** Marker to indicate a node is waiting in shared mode */ static final Node SHARED = new Node(); /** Marker to indicate a node is waiting in exclusive mode */ static final Node EXCLUSIVE = null; /** waitStatus value to indicate thread has cancelled */ static final int CANCELLED = 1; /** waitStatus value to indicate successor's thread needs unparking */ static final int SIGNAL = -1; /** waitStatus value to indicate thread is waiting on condition */ static final int CONDITION = -2; /** * waitStatus value to indicate the next acquireShared should * unconditionally propagate */ static final int PROPAGATE = -3; /** * Status field, taking on only the values: * SIGNAL: The successor of this node is (or will soon be) * blocked (via park), so the current node must * unpark its successor when it releases or * cancels. To avoid races, acquire methods must * first indicate they need a signal, * then retry the atomic acquire, and then, * on failure, block. * CANCELLED: This node is cancelled due to timeout or interrupt. * Nodes never leave this state. In particular, * a thread with cancelled node never again blocks. * CONDITION: This node is currently on a condition queue. * It will not be used as a sync queue node * until transferred, at which time the status * will be set to 0. (Use of this value here has * nothing to do with the other uses of the * field, but simplifies mechanics.) * PROPAGATE: A releaseShared should be propagated to other * nodes. This is set (for head node only) in * doReleaseShared to ensure propagation * continues, even if other operations have * since intervened. * 0: None of the above * * The values are arranged numerically to simplify use. * Non-negative values mean that a node doesn't need to * signal. So, most code doesn't need to check for particular * values, just for sign. * * The field is initialized to 0 for normal sync nodes, and * CONDITION for condition nodes. It is modified using CAS * (or when possible, unconditional volatile writes). */ volatile int waitStatus; /** * Link to predecessor node that current node/thread relies on * for checking waitStatus. Assigned during enqueuing, and nulled * out (for sake of GC) only upon dequeuing. Also, upon * cancellation of a predecessor, we short-circuit while * finding a non-cancelled one, which will always exist * because the head node is never cancelled: A node becomes * head only as a result of successful acquire. A * cancelled thread never succeeds in acquiring, and a thread only * cancels itself, not any other node. */ volatile Node prev; /** * Link to the successor node that the current node/thread * unparks upon release. Assigned during enqueuing, adjusted * when bypassing cancelled predecessors, and nulled out (for * sake of GC) when dequeued. The enq operation does not * assign next field of a predecessor until after attachment, * so seeing a null next field does not necessarily mean that * node is at end of queue. However, if a next field appears * to be null, we can scan prev's from the tail to * double-check. The next field of cancelled nodes is set to * point to the node itself instead of null, to make life * easier for isOnSyncQueue. */ volatile Node next; /** * The thread that enqueued this node. Initialized on * construction and nulled out after use. */ volatile Thread thread; /** * Link to next node waiting on condition, or the special * value SHARED. Because condition queues are accessed only * when holding in exclusive mode, we just need a simple * linked queue to hold nodes while they are waiting on * conditions. They are then transferred to the queue to * re-acquire. And because conditions can only be exclusive, * we save a field by using special value to indicate shared * mode. */ Node nextWaiter; /** * Returns true if node is waiting in shared mode. */ final boolean isShared() { return nextWaiter == SHARED; } //...}
因为是双向队列,所以 Node 实例中势必有 prev 和 next 指针,此外 Node 中还会保存与其对应的线程。最后是 nextWaiter,当一个节点对应了共享请求时,nextWaiter 指向了 Node. SHARED 而当一个节点是排他请求时,nextWaiter 默认指向了 Node. EXCLUSIVE 也就是 null。我们知道 AQS 也提供了 Condition 功能,该功能就是通过 nextWaiter 来维护在 Condition 上等待的线程。也就是说这里的 nextWaiter 在锁的实现部分中,扮演者共享锁和排它锁的标志位,而在条件等待队列中,充当链表的 next 指针。
同步队列
接下来,我们由最常见的入队操作出发,介绍 AQS 框架的实现与使用。从下面的代码中可以看到入队操作支持两种模式,一种是排他模式,一种是共享模式,分别对应了排它锁场景和共享锁场景。
当任意一种请求,要入队时,先会构建一个 Node 实例,然后获取当前 AQS 队列的尾结点,如果尾结点为空,就是说队列还没初始化,初始化过程在后面 enq 函数中实现这里我们先看初始化之后的情况,即 tail != null,先将当前 Node 的前向指针 prev 更新,然后通过 CAS 将尾结点修改为当前 Node,修改成功时,再更新前一个节点的后向指针 next,因为只有修改尾指针过程是原子的,所以这里会出现新插入一个节点时,之前的尾节点 previousTail 的 next 指针为null的情况,也就是说会存在短暂的正向指针和反向指针不同步的情况,不过在后面的介绍中,你会发现 AQS 很完备地避开了这种不同步带来的风险(通过从后往前遍历)如果上述操作成功,则当前线程已经进入同步队列,否则,可能存在多个线程的竞争,其他线程设置尾结点成功了,而当前线程失败了,这时候会和尾结点未初始化一样进入 enq 函数中。/** * Creates and enqueues node for current thread and given mode. * * @param mode Node.EXCLUSIVE for exclusive, Node.SHARED for shared * @return the new node */private Node addWaiter(Node mode) { Node node = new Node(Thread.currentThread(), mode); // Try the fast path of enq; backup to full enq on failure Node pred = tail; if (pred != null) { // 已经进行了初始化 node.prev = pred; // CAS 修改尾节点 if (compareAndSetTail(pred, node)) { // 成功之后再修改后向指针 pred.next = node; return node; } } // 循环 CAS 过程和初始化过程 enq(node); return node;}
正常通过 CAS 修改数据都会在一个循环中进行,而这里的 addWaiter 只是在一个 if 中进行,这是为什么呢?实际上,大家看到的 addWaiter 的这部分 CAS 过程是一个快速执行线,在没有竞争时,这种方式能省略不少判断过程。当发生竞争时,会进入 enq 函数中,那里才是循环 CAS 的地方。
整个 enq 的工作在一个循环中进行先会检查是否未进行初始化,是的话,就设置一个虚拟节点 Node 作为 head 和 tail,也就是说同步队列的第一个节点并不保存实际数据,只是一个保存指针的地方初始化完成后,通过 CAS 修改尾节点,直到修改成功为止,最后修复后向指针/** * Inserts node into queue, initializing if necessary. See picture above. * @param node the node to insert * @return node's predecessor */private Node enq(final Node node) { for (;;) {// 在一个循环中进行 CAS 操作 Node t = tail; if (t == null) { // Must initialize if (compareAndSetHead(new Node())) tail = head; } else { node.prev = t; // CAS 修改尾节点 if (compareAndSetTail(t, node)) { // 成功之后再修改后向指针 t.next = node; return t; } }
