读写锁可以分为:公平锁,读优先,写优先,优先级锁等。Linux系统提供了pthread_rwlock系列函数作为读写锁的实现,同样的Boost库提供了share_lock作为读写锁实现的辅助类。C++标准库没有提供读写锁,但是我们可以使用mutex和condition_variable来很容易的实现读写锁。
- boost::shared_lock
- std::unique_lock
- std::lock_guard
- pthread_rwlock_init
- pthread_rwlock_destroy
- pthread_rwlock_rdlock
- pthread_rwlock_wrlock
- pthread_rwlock_unlock
读写锁实现思路
- 公平锁:实用队列来管理锁,先到先得
- 读优先:这种场合用于写少读多的情况,只要有读请求则写请求永远等待
- 写优先:这种场合和读优先相反,只要有写请求,则读永远被阻塞
- 优先级锁:带有优先级的锁,优先级高的锁先获取资源,可以使用set管理请求资源的锁,并按照优先级排序
公平锁
其实,标准库提供的mutex就是一种公平锁,因为被唤醒的线程是随机的。如果强调真正意义的公平,则可以使用队列来管理锁,只有处于队列头的锁才能获取资源。其实Linux系统已经实现了公平锁——在pthread_mutex初始化时传入参数mutexattr,其包含如下几种:
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP ,这是缺省值,也就是普通锁。当一个线程加锁以后,其余请求锁的线程将形成一个等待队列,并在解锁后按优先级获得锁。这种锁策略保证了资源分配的公平性。
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP,嵌套锁,允许同一个线程对同一个锁成功获得多次,并通过多次unlock解锁。如果是不同线程请求,则在加锁线程解锁时重新竞争。
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP,检错锁,如果同一个线程请求同一个锁,则返回EDEADLK,否则与PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP类型动作相同。这样就保证当不允许多次加锁时不会出现最简单情况下的死锁。
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP,适应锁,动作最简单的锁类型,仅等待解锁后重新竞争。
因此,只需要在创建mutex的时候指定 PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP 属性即可。
读优先/写优先
读优先和写优先的本质都是一样的。在Linux中有线程的读写锁,同样的也可以指定读写锁的属性。
int pthread_rwlock_init(pthread_rwlock_t *restrict rwlock,
const pthread_rwlockattr_t *restrict attr);
attr 共有 3 种选择
- PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_READER_NP (默认设置) 读者优先,可能会导致写者饥饿情况
- PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NP 写者优先,目前有 BUG,导致表现行为和 PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_READER_NP 一致
- PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP 写者优先,但写者不能递归加锁
借助C++标准库实现写优先所
这里用C++的mutex和condition_variable实现一个写优先的锁。满足以下逻辑:
class write_priotity_lock
{
public:
void read_lock()
{
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_mutex);
m_read_cv.wait(lock,[this](){
return this->m_write_count == 0;
});
m_read_count++;
}
void write_lock()
{
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_mutex);
m_write_count++;
m_write_cv.wait(lock,[this](){
return this->m_write_count <= 1 && this->m_read_count == 0;
});
}
void read_release()
{
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_mutex); // <-- 此处的锁是必须的!!
--m_read_count;
if(m_read_count == 0 && m_write_count > 0)
{
m_write_cv.notify_one();
}
}
void write_release()
{
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_mutex); // <-- 此处的锁是必须的!!
--m_write_count;
if(m_write_count >= 1)
{
m_write_cv.notify_one(); // 唤醒一个等待的写条件变量
}
else
{
m_read_cv.notify_all(); // 唤醒所有等待的写条件变量
}
}
private:
std::condition_variable m_write_cv;
std::condition_variable m_read_cv;
int32_t m_read_count;
int32_t m_write_count;
std::mutex m_mutex;
};
借助C++标准库实现写优先所--V2
对第一版中关于多个写锁等待时条件竞争导致的死锁问题进行优化:
- 增加变量m_write_own:表示此时是否有实例拥有写锁
- 使用变量m_write_wait_count:表示此时正在等待获取锁的实例个数
- 将原子变量该为普通变量,因为已经由互斥锁进行了保护
- 在进行notify的时候加锁,更加符合并发编程规范

测试结果如下:
boost库的读写锁
boost库的共享mutex实际上很简单,它是由条件变量、普通的mutex构成的。shared_mutex维护了2个条件变量来判断是否可读、可写。按照以下原则进行加锁和解锁:
- 写标志位:unsigned int 最高位为1则表示已经进行写加锁
- 读标志位:unsigned int 最高位以外的所有为不为1则表示存在读锁,读锁的个数就是该 unsigned int 变量的值
- 写加锁 :当不存在写锁、读锁的时候可以获取写锁,否则一直等待
- 读加锁 :不存在写锁的时候可以进行加锁,否则一直等待。读锁可以多次加锁,每加一次则读锁计数加一
- 锁释放 :写锁释放时
- shared_lock: boost::shared_mutex 可以配合 boost::unique_lock boost::guard_lock 以及 shared_lock 使用。惟一的区别是,shared_lock 是获取读锁,其他的是获取写锁。
存在的问题:
- 写锁饥饿:由于写锁需要等待所有读锁解锁完毕后才能获取,因此当一个线程尝试获取写锁的时候,其他的线程一直进行读锁获取,会导致写锁饥饿的情况。按照boost的共享锁的实现,它是一个读优先锁
- 锁唤醒 :当尝试加写锁的线程由于不满足条件而进行条件变量wait之后,其他线程释放写锁之后由于shared_mutex中没有写锁等待的计数因此不知道是否有写锁存在,因此只能选择唤醒所有其他的条件变量。更好的办法是对当前读写锁分别进行计数,根据读写锁的数量来选择性的唤醒不同的锁。由于有了读写计数,则可以很方便的选择唤醒哪个条件变量,这样还可以实现读写优先锁。写优先级的读写锁可以参见《读写锁、自旋锁、信号量的CPP11实现》。
