每个java线程都有一个Parker实例,Parker类是这样定义的:
class Parker : public os::PlatformParker {
private:
volatile int _counter ;
...
public:
void park(bool isAbsolute, jlong time);
void unpark();
...
}
class PlatformParker : public CHeapObj<mtInternal> {
protected:
pthread_mutex_t _mutex [1] ;
pthread_cond_t _cond [1] ;
...
}
可以看到Parker类实际上用Posix的mutex,condition来实现的。
在Parker类里的_counter字段,就是用来记录所谓的“许可”的。
当调用park时,先尝试直接能否直接拿到“许可”,即_counter>0时,如果成功,则把_counter设置为0,并返回:
void Parker::park(bool isAbsolute, jlong time) {
// Ideally we'd do something useful while spinning, such
// as calling unpackTime().
// Optional fast-path check:
// Return immediately if a permit is available.
// We depend on Atomic::xchg() having full barrier semantics
// since we are doing a lock-free update to _counter.
if (Atomic::xchg(0, &_counter) > 0) return;
如果不成功,则构造一个ThreadBlockInVM,然后检查_counter是不是>0,如果是,则把_counter设置为0,unlock mutex并返回:
ThreadBlockInVM tbivm(jt);
if (_counter > 0) { // no wait needed
_counter = 0;
status = pthread_mutex_unlock(_mutex);
否则,再判断等待的时间,然后再调用pthread_cond_wait函数等待,如果等待返回,则把_counter设置为0,unlock mutex并返回:
if (time == 0) {
status = pthread_cond_wait (_cond, _mutex) ;
}
_counter = 0 ;
status = pthread_mutex_unlock(_mutex) ;
assert_status(status == 0, status, "invariant") ;
OrderAccess::fence();
当unpark时,则简单多了,直接设置_counter为1,再unlock mutext返回。如果_counter之前的值是0,则还要调用pthread_cond_signal唤醒在park中等待的线程:
void Parker::unpark() {
int s, status ;
status = pthread_mutex_lock(_mutex);
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
s = _counter;
_counter = 1;
if (s < 1) {
if (WorkAroundNPTLTimedWaitHang) {
status = pthread_cond_signal (_cond) ;
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
status = pthread_mutex_unlock(_mutex);
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
} else {
status = pthread_mutex_unlock(_mutex);
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
status = pthread_cond_signal (_cond) ;
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
}
} else {
pthread_mutex_unlock(_mutex);
assert (status == 0, "invariant") ;
}
}
简而言之,是用mutex和condition保护了一个_counter的变量,当park时,这个变量置为了0,当unpark时,这个变量置为1。
值得注意的是在park函数里,调用pthread_cond_wait时,并没有用while来判断,所以posix condition里的"Spurious wakeup"一样会传递到上层Java的代码里。
if (time == 0) {
status = pthread_cond_wait (_cond, _mutex) ;
}
这也就是为什么Java dos里提到,当下面三种情况下park函数会返回:
- Some other thread invokes unpark with the current thread as the target; or
- Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
- The call spuriously (that is, for no reason) returns.
