1. ReentrantReadWriteLock定义

  • ReentrantReadWriteLock (读写锁)其实是两把锁,一把是 WriteLock (写锁),一把是读锁, ReadLock 。只要没有writer,读取锁可以由多个reader 线程同时保持。写入锁是独占的。
  • 读写锁的规则是:读读不互斥、读写互斥、写写互斥。即当任一线程持有写锁或读锁时,其他线程不能获得写锁; 当任一线程持有写锁时,其他线程不能获取读锁; 多个线程可以同时持有读锁。

2. ReentrantReadWriteLock适用性

  • ReadWriteLock 读取操作通常不会改变共享资源,但执行写入操作时,必须独占方式来获取锁。对于读取操作占多数的数据结构。ReadWriteLock 能提供比独占锁更高的并发性。而对于只读的数据结构,其中包含的不变性可以完全不需要考虑加锁操作。
  • 对于读操作的频率远远高于写操作的场景,如果直接用一般的锁进行并发控制的话,就会读读互斥、读写互斥、写写互斥,效率低下,读写锁的产生就是为了优化这种场景的操作效率。
  • 一般情况下独占锁的效率低来源于高并发下对临界区的激烈竞争导致线程上下文切换。因此当并发不是很高的情况下,读写锁由于需要额外维护读锁的状态,可能还不如独占锁的效率高,因此需要根据实际情况选择使用。

3. ReentrantReadWriteLock特性

  • 公平性:非公平锁(默认),为了防止写线程饿死,规则是:当等待队列头部结点是独占模式(即要获取写锁的线程)时,只有获取独占锁线程可以抢占,而试图获取共享锁的线程必须进入队列阻塞;当队列头部结点是共享模式(即要获取读锁的线程)时,试图获取独占和共享锁的线程都可以抢占。
  • 公平锁,利用AQS的等待队列,线程按照FIFO的顺序获取锁,因此不存在写线程一直等待的问题。
  • 重入性:读写锁均是可重入的,读/写锁重入次数保存在了32位int state的高/低16位中。而单个读线程的重入次数,则记录在ThreadLocalHoldCounter类型的readHolds里。
  • 锁降级:写线程获取写入锁后可以获取读取锁,然后释放写入锁,这样就从写入锁变成了读取锁,从而实现锁降级。
  • 锁获取中断:读取锁和写入锁都支持获取锁期间被中断。
  • 条件变量:写锁提供了条件变量(Condition)的支持,这个和独占锁ReentrantLock一致,但是读锁却不允许,调用readLock().newCondition()会抛出UnsupportedOperationException异常。

4.ReentrantReadWriteLock实现原理

4.1 原理介绍

  • ReentrantReadWriteLock 的原理也是基于 AQS 进行实现的,与 ReentrantLock 的差别在于 ReentrantReadWriteLock 锁拥有共享锁、排他锁属性。读写锁中的加锁、释放锁也是基于 Sync (继承于 AQS ),并且主要使用 AQS 中的 state 和 node 中的 waitState 变量进行实现的。
  • 实现读写锁与实现普通互斥锁的主要区别在于需要分别记录读锁状态及写锁状态,并且等待队列中需要区别处理两种加锁操作。
  • ReentrantReadWriteLock 中将 AQS 中的 int 类型的 state 分为高 16 位与第 16 位分别记录读锁和写锁的状态,如下图所示:

4.2 WriteLock源码剖析

  • WriteLock(写锁)是悲观锁(排他锁、互斥锁):通过计算 state&((1<<16)-1) ,将 state 的高 16 位全部抹去,因此 state 的低位记录着写锁的重入计数。

4.3 ReadLock源码剖析

  • ReadLock(读锁)是共享锁(乐观锁):通过计算 state>>>16 进行无符号补 0 ,右移 16 位,因此 state 的高位记录着写锁的重入计数。
  • 读锁获取锁的过程比写锁复杂
  • 首先判断写锁是否为 0 并且当前线程不占有独占锁,直接返回;否则,判断读线程是否需要被阻塞并且读锁数量是否小于最大值并且比较设置状态成功,若当前没有读锁,则设置第一个读线程 firstReader 和 firstReaderHoldCount ;
  • 若当前线程线程为第一个读线程,则增加 firstReaderHoldCount ;否则,将设置当前线程对应的 HoldCounter 对象的值,更新成功后会在 firstReaderHoldCount 中 readHolds ( ThreadLocal 类型的)的本线程副本中记录当前线程重入数,这是为了实现 JDK1.6 中加入的 getReadHoldCount ()方法的
  • getReadHoldCount ()方法能获取当前线程重入共享锁的次数( state 中记录的是多个线程的总重入次数),原理:如果当前只有一个线程的话,还不需要动用 ThreadLocal ,直接往 firstReaderHoldCount 这个成员变量里存重入数,当有第二个线程来的时候,就要动用 ThreadLocal 变量 readHolds 了,每个线程拥有自己的副本,用来保存自己的重入数。

4.4 小结

  • 在线程持有读锁的情况下,该线程不能取得写锁(因为获取写锁的时候,如果发现当前的读锁被占用,就马上获取失败,不管读锁是不是被当前线程持有)。
  • 在线程持有写锁的情况下,该线程可以继续获取读锁(获取读锁时如果发现写锁被占用,只有写锁没有被当前线程占用的情况才会获取失败)。

5.1 示例一:一写多读

public class ReadWriteLockTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ReadWriteLockDemo rw = new ReadWriteLockDemo();

        new Thread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                rw.set((int)(Math.random() * 101));
            }
        }, "Write:").start();


        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            new Thread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    rw.get();
                }
            }).start();
        }
    }

}

class ReadWriteLockDemo{

    private int number = 0;

    private ReadWriteLock lock = new ReentrantReadWriteLock();

    //读
    public void get(){
        lock.readLock().lock(); //上锁

        try{
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " : " + number);
        }finally{
            lock.readLock().unlock(); //释放锁
        }
    }

    //写
    public void set(int number){
        lock.writeLock().lock();

        try{
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
            this.number = number;
        }finally{
            lock.writeLock().unlock();
        }
    }
