Java并发之AQS详解

1. 概述

谈到并发,不得不谈ReentrantLock;而谈到ReentrantLock,不得不谈AbstractQueuedSynchronizer(AQS)!

类如其名,抽象的队列式的同步器,AQS定义了一套多线程访问共享资源的同步器框架,许多同步类实现都依赖于它,如常用的ReentrantLock/Semaphore/CountDownLatch…。

以下是本文的目录大纲:

  • 概述
  • 框架
  • 源码详解
  • 简单应用

2. 框架

在这里插入图片描述
 它维护了一个volatile int state(代表共享资源)和一个FIFO线程等待队列(多线程争用资源被阻塞时会进入此队列)。这里volatile是核心关键词,具体volatile的语义,在此不述。state的访问方式有三种:

  • getState()
  • setState()
  • compareAndSetState()
 /**
* The synchronization state.
 */
private volatile int state;

/**
 * Returns the current value of synchronization state.
 * This operation has memory semantics of a {@code volatile} read.
 * @return current state value
 */
protected final int getState() {
    return state;
}

/**
 * Sets the value of synchronization state.
 * This operation has memory semantics of a {@code volatile} write.
 * @param newState the new state value
 */
protected final void setState(int newState) {
    state = newState;
}

/**
 * Atomically sets synchronization state to the given updated
 * value if the current state value equals the expected value.
 * This operation has memory semantics of a {@code volatile} read
 * and write.
 *
 * @param expect the expected value
 * @param update the new value
 * @return {@code true} if successful. False return indicates that the actual
 *         value was not equal to the expected value.
 */
protected final boolean compareAndSetState(int expect, int update) {
    // See below for intrinsics setup to support this
    return unsafe.compareAndSwapInt(this, stateOffset, expect, update);
}

AQS定义两种资源共享方式:Exclusive(独占,只有一个线程能执行,如ReentrantLock)和Share(共享,多个线程可同时执行,如Semaphore/CountDownLatch)。

不同的自定义同步器争用共享资源的方式也不同。自定义同步器在实现时只需要实现共享资源state的获取与释放方式即可,至于具体线程等待队列的维护(如获取资源失败入队/唤醒出队等),AQS已经在顶层实现好了。自定义同步器实现时主要实现以下几种方法:

  • isHeldExclusively():该线程是否正在独占资源。只有用到condition才需要去实现它。
  • tryAcquire(int):独占方式。尝试获取资源,成功则返回true,失败则返回false。
  • tryRelease(int):独占方式。尝试释放资源,成功则返回true,失败则返回false。
  • tryAcquireShared(int):共享方式。尝试获取资源。负数表示失败;0表示成功,但没有剩余可用资源;正数表示成功,且有剩余资源。
  • tryReleaseShared(int):共享方式。尝试释放资源,如果释放后允许唤醒后续等待结点返回true,否则返回false。

以ReentrantLock为例,state初始化为0,表示未锁定状态。A线程lock()时,会调用tryAcquire()独占该锁并将state+1。此后,其他线程再tryAcquire()时就会失败,直到A线程unlock()到state=0(即释放锁)为止,其它线程才有机会获取该锁。当然,释放锁之前,A线程自己是可以重复获取此锁的(state会累加),这就是可重入的概念。但要注意,获取多少次就要释放多么次,这样才能保证state是能回到零态的。

再以CountDownLatch以例,任务分为N个子线程去执行,state也初始化为N(注意N要与线程个数一致)。这N个子线程是并行执行的,每个子线程执行完后countDown()一次,state会CAS减1。等到所有子线程都执行完后(即state=0),会unpark()主调用线程,然后主调用线程就会从await()函数返回,继续后余动作。

一般来说,自定义同步器要么是独占方法,要么是共享方式,他们也只需实现tryAcquire-tryRelease、tryAcquireShared-tryReleaseShared中的一种即可。但AQS也支持自定义同步器同时实现独占和共享两种方式,如ReentrantReadWriteLock。

3. 源码详解

接下来我们开始开始讲解AQS的源码实现。依照acquire-release、acquireShared-releaseShared的次序来。

3.1 acquire(int)

acquire是一种以独占方式获取资源,如果获取到资源,线程直接返回,否则进入等待队列,直到获取到资源为止,且整个过程忽略中断的影响。该方法是独占模式下线程获取共享资源的顶层入口。获取到资源后,线程就可以去执行其临界区代码了。下面是acquire()的源码:

/**
 * Acquires in exclusive mode, ignoring interrupts.  Implemented
 * by invoking at least once {@link #tryAcquire},
 * returning on success.  Otherwise the thread is queued, possibly
 * repeatedly blocking and unblocking, invoking {@link
 * #tryAcquire} until success.  This method can be used
 * to implement method {@link Lock#lock}.
 *
 * @param arg the acquire argument.  This value is conveyed to
 *        {@link #tryAcquire} but is otherwise uninterpreted and
 *        can represent anything you like.
 */
public final void acquire(int arg) {
    if (!tryAcquire(arg) &&
        acquireQueued(addWaiter(Node.EXCLUSIVE), arg))
        selfInterrupt();
}

通过注释我们知道,acquire方法是一种互斥模式,且忽略中断。该方法至少执行一次 tryAcquire(int) 方法,如果 tryAcquire(int) 方法返回true,则acquire直接返回,否则当前线程需要进入队列进行排队。函数流程如下:

  1. tryAcquire()尝试直接去获取资源,如果成功则直接返回;
  2. addWaiter()将该线程加入等待队列的尾部,并标记为独占模式;
  3. acquireQueued()使线程在等待队列中获取资源,一直获取到资源后才返回。如果在整个等待过程中被中断过,则返回true,否则返回false。
  4. 如果线程在等待过程中被中断过,它是不响应的。只是获取资源后才再进行自我中断selfInterrupt(),将中断补上。

3.2 release(int)

release(int) 方法是独占模式下线程释放共享资源的顶层入口。它会释放指定量的资源,如果彻底释放了(即state=0),它会唤醒等待队列里的其他线程来获取资源。这也正是unlock()的语义,当然不仅仅只限于unlock()。下面是release()的源码:

/**
     * Releases in exclusive mode.  Implemented by unblocking one or
     * more threads if {@link #tryRelease} returns true.
     * This method can be used to implement method {@link Lock#unlock}.
     *
     * @param arg the release argument.  This value is conveyed to
     *        {@link #tryRelease} but is otherwise uninterpreted and
     *        can represent anything you like.
     * @return the value returned from {@link #tryRelease}
     */
    public final boolean release(int arg) {
        if (tryRelease(arg)) {
            Node h = head;
            if (h != null && h.waitStatus != 0)
                unparkSuccessor(h);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

/**
* Attempts to set the state to reflect a release in exclusive
 * mode.
 *
 * <p>This method is always invoked by the thread performing release.
 *
 * <p>The default implementation throws
 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException}.
 *
 * @param arg the release argument. This value is always the one
 *        passed to a release method, or the current state value upon
 *        entry to a condition wait.  The value is otherwise
 *        uninterpreted and can represent anything you like.
 * @return {@code true} if this object is now in a fully released
 *         state, so that any waiting threads may attempt to acquire;
 *         and {@code false} otherwise.
 * @throws IllegalMonitorStateException if releasing would place this
 *         synchronizer in an illegal state. This exception must be
 *         thrown in a consistent fashion for synchronization to work
 *         correctly.
 * @throws UnsupportedOperationException if exclusive mode is not supported
 */
protected boolean tryRelease(int arg) {
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}

/**
 * Wakes up node's successor, if one exists.
 *
 * @param node the node
 */
private void unparkSuccessor(Node node) {
    /*
     * If status is negative (i.e., possibly needing signal) try
     * to clear in anticipation of signalling.  It is OK if this
     * fails or if status is changed by waiting thread.
     */
    int ws = node.waitStatus;
    if (ws < 0)
        compareAndSetWaitStatus(node, ws, 0);

    /*
     * Thread to unpark is held in successor, which is normally
     * just the next node.  But if cancelled or apparently null,
     * traverse backwards from tail to find the actual
     * non-cancelled successor.
     */
    Node s = node.next;
    if (s == null || s.waitStatus > 0) {
        s = null;
        for (Node t = tail; t != null && t != node; t = t.prev)
            if (t.waitStatus <= 0)
                s = t;
    }
    if (s != null)
        LockSupport.unpark(s.thread);
}

与acquire()方法中的tryAcquire()类似,tryRelease()方法也是需要独占模式的自定义同步器去实现的。正常来说,tryRelease()都会成功的,因为这是独占模式,该线程来释放资源,那么它肯定已经拿到独占资源了,直接减掉相应量的资源即可(state-=arg),也不需要考虑线程安全的问题。但要注意它的返回值,上面已经提到了,release()是根据tryRelease()的返回值来判断该线程是否已经完成释放掉资源了!所以自义定同步器在实现时,如果已经彻底释放资源(state=0),要返回true,否则返回false。
  
unparkSuccessor(Node) 方法用于唤醒等待队列中下一个线程。这里要注意的是,下一个线程并不一定是当前节点的next节点,而是下一个可以用来唤醒的线程,如果这个节点存在,调用 unpark() 方法唤醒。
  
总之,release()是独占模式下线程释放共享资源的顶层入口。它会释放指定量的资源,如果彻底释放了(即state=0),它会唤醒等待队列里的其他线程来获取资源。

3.3 acquireShared(int)

acquireShared(int) 方法是共享模式下线程获取共享资源的顶层入口。它会获取指定量的资源,获取成功则直接返回,获取失败则进入等待队列,直到获取到资源为止,整个过程忽略中断。下面是acquireShared()的源码:

/**
 * Acquires in shared mode, ignoring interrupts.  Implemented by
 * first invoking at least once {@link #tryAcquireShared},
 * returning on success.  Otherwise the thread is queued, possibly
 * repeatedly blocking and unblocking, invoking {@link
 * #tryAcquireShared} until success.
 *
 * @param arg the acquire argument.  This value is conveyed to
 *        {@link #tryAcquireShared} but is otherwise uninterpreted
 *        and can represent anything you like.
 */
public final void acquireShared(int arg) {
    if (tryAcquireShared(arg) < 0)
        doAcquireShared(arg);
}

3.4 releaseShared(int)

releaseShared(int) 方法是共享模式下线程释放共享资源的顶层入口。它会释放指定量的资源,如果成功释放且允许唤醒等待线程,它会唤醒等待队列里的其他线程来获取资源。下面是releaseShared()的源码:

/**
* Releases in shared mode.  Implemented by unblocking one or more
 * threads if {@link #tryReleaseShared} returns true.
 *
 * @param arg the release argument.  This value is conveyed to
 *        {@link #tryReleaseShared} but is otherwise uninterpreted
 *        and can represent anything you like.
 * @return the value returned from {@link #tryReleaseShared}
 */
public final boolean releaseShared(int arg) {
    if (tryReleaseShared(arg)) {
        doReleaseShared();
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

此方法的流程也比较简单,一句话:释放掉资源后,唤醒后继。跟独占模式下的release()相似,但有一点稍微需要注意:独占模式下的tryRelease()在完全释放掉资源(state=0)后,才会返回true去唤醒其他线程,这主要是基于独占下可重入的考量;而共享模式下的releaseShared()则没有这种要求,共享模式实质就是控制一定量的线程并发执行,那么拥有资源的线程在释放掉部分资源时就可以唤醒后继等待结点。

/**
  * Release action for shared mode -- signals successor and ensures
  * propagation. (Note: For exclusive mode, release just amounts
  * to calling unparkSuccessor of head if it needs signal.)
  */
 private void doReleaseShared() {
     /*
      * Ensure that a release propagates, even if there are other
      * in-progress acquires/releases.  This proceeds in the usual
      * way of trying to unparkSuccessor of head if it needs
      * signal. But if it does not, status is set to PROPAGATE to
      * ensure that upon release, propagation continues.
      * Additionally, we must loop in case a new node is added
      * while we are doing this. Also, unlike other uses of
      * unparkSuccessor, we need to know if CAS to reset status
      * fails, if so rechecking.
      */
     for (;;) {
         Node h = head;
         if (h != null && h != tail) {
             int ws = h.waitStatus;
             if (ws == Node.SIGNAL) {
                 if (!compareAndSetWaitStatus(h, Node.SIGNAL, 0))
                     continue;            // loop to recheck cases
                 unparkSuccessor(h);
             }
             else if (ws == 0 &&
                      !compareAndSetWaitStatus(h, 0, Node.PROPAGATE))
                 continue;                // loop on failed CAS
         }
         if (h == head)                   // loop if head changed
             break;
     }
 }

4. 总结

AQS定义了一套多线程访问共享资源的同步器框架,它维护了一个volatile int state(代表共享资源)和一个FIFO线程等待队列(多线程争用资源被阻塞时会进入此队列)。

已提供的state的访问方式有三种:

  • getState()
  • setState()
  • compareAndSetState()

定义同步器在实现时只需要实现共享资源state的获取与释放方式即可,至于具体线程等待队列的维护(如获取资源失败入队/唤醒出队等),AQS已经在顶层实现好了。自定义同步器实现时主要实现以下几种方法:

  • isHeldExclusively():该线程是否正在独占资源。只有用到condition才需要去实现它。
  • tryAcquire(int):独占方式。尝试获取资源,成功则返回true,失败则返回false。
  • tryRelease(int):独占方式。尝试释放资源,成功则返回true,失败则返回false。
  • tryAcquireShared(int):共享方式。尝试获取资源。负数表示失败;0表示成功,但没有剩余可用资源;正数表示成功,且有剩余资源。
  • tryReleaseShared(int):共享方式。尝试释放资源,如果释放后允许唤醒后续等待结点返回true,否则返回false。
