This class has the following properties: * *
This class does not impose a reader or writer preference * ordering for lock access. However, it does support an optional * fairness policy. When constructed as fair, threads * contend for entry using an approximately arrival-order policy. When * the write lock is released either the longest-waiting single writer * will be assigned the write lock, or if there is a reader waiting * longer than any writer, the set of readers will be assigned the * read lock. When constructed as non-fair, the order of entry to the * lock need not be in arrival order. In either case, if readers are * active and a writer enters the lock then no subsequent readers will * be granted the read lock until after that writer has acquired and * released the write lock. * *
This lock allows both readers and writers to reacquire read or * write locks in the style of a {@link ReentrantLock}. Readers are not * allowed until all write locks held by the writing thread have been * released. *
Additionally, a writer can acquire the read lock - but not vice-versa. * Among other applications, reentrancy can be useful when * write locks are held during calls or callbacks to methods that * perform reads under read locks. * If a reader tries to acquire the write lock it will never succeed. * *
Reentrancy also allows downgrading from the write lock to a read lock, * by acquiring the write lock, then the read lock and then releasing the * write lock. However, upgrading from a read lock to the write lock is * not possible. * *
The read lock and write lock both support interruption during lock * acquisition. * *
The write lock provides a {@link Condition} implementation that * behaves in the same way, with respect to the write lock, as the * {@link Condition} implementation provided by * {@link ReentrantLock#newCondition} does for {@link ReentrantLock}. * This {@link Condition} can, of course, only be used with the write lock. *
The read lock does not support a {@link Condition} and * readLock().newCondition() throws * UnsupportedOperationException. * *
This class supports methods to determine whether locks * are held or contended. These methods are designed for monitoring * system state, not for synchronization control. *
Serialization of this class behaves in the same way as built-in * locks: a deserialized lock is in the unlocked state, regardless of * its state when serialized. * *
Sample usages. Here is a code sketch showing how to exploit * reentrancy to perform lock downgrading after updating a cache (exception * handling is elided for simplicity): *
* class CachedData { * Object data; * volatile boolean cacheValid; * ReentrantReadWriteLock rwl = new ReentrantReadWriteLock(); * * void processCachedData() { * rwl.readLock().lock(); * if (!cacheValid) { * // upgrade lock manually * rwl.readLock().unlock(); // must unlock first to obtain writelock * rwl.writeLock().lock(); * if (!cacheValid) { // recheck * data = ... * cacheValid = true; * } * // downgrade lock * rwl.readLock().lock(); // reacquire read without giving up write lock * rwl.writeLock().unlock(); // unlock write, still hold read * } * * use(data); * rwl.readLock().unlock(); * } * } ** * ReentrantReadWriteLocks can be used to improve concurrency in some * uses of some kinds of Collections. This is typically worthwhile * only when the collections are expected to be large, accessed by * more reader threads than writer threads, and entail operations with * overhead that outweighs synchronization overhead. For example, here * is a class using a TreeMap that is expected to be large and * concurrently accessed. * *
* class RWDictionary { * private final Map<String, Data> m = new TreeMap<String, Data>(); * private final ReentrantReadWriteLock rwl = new ReentrantReadWriteLock(); * private final Lock r = rwl.readLock(); * private final Lock w = rwl.writeLock(); * * public Data get(String key) { * r.lock(); try { return m.get(key); } finally { r.unlock(); } * } * public String[] allKeys() { * r.lock(); try { return m.keySet().toArray(); } finally { r.unlock(); } * } * public Data put(String key, Data value) { * w.lock(); try { return m.put(key, value); } finally { w.unlock(); } * } * public void clear() { * w.lock(); try { m.clear(); } finally { w.unlock(); } * } * } ** * *
A reentrant write lock intrinsically defines an owner and can * only be released by the thread that acquired it. In contrast, in * this implementation, the read lock has no concept of ownership, and * there is no requirement that the thread releasing a read lock is * the same as the one that acquired it. However, this property is * not guaranteed to hold in future implementations of this class. * *
This lock supports a maximum of 65536 recursive write locks * and 65536 read locks. Attempts to exceed these limits result in * {@link Error} throws from locking methods. * * @since 1.5 * @author Doug Lea * */ public class ReentrantReadWriteLock implements ReadWriteLock, java.io.Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = -6992448646407690164L; /** Inner class providing readlock */ private final ReentrantReadWriteLock.ReadLock readerLock; /** Inner class providing writelock */ private final ReentrantReadWriteLock.WriteLock writerLock; /** Performs all synchronization mechanics */ private final Sync sync; /** * Creates a new ReentrantReadWriteLock with * default ordering properties. */ public ReentrantReadWriteLock() { sync = new NonfairSync(); readerLock = new ReadLock(this); writerLock = new WriteLock(this); } /** * Creates a new ReentrantReadWriteLock with * the given fairness policy. * * @param fair true if this lock should use a fair ordering policy */ public ReentrantReadWriteLock(boolean fair) { sync = (fair)? new FairSync() : new NonfairSync(); readerLock = new ReadLock(this); writerLock = new WriteLock(this); } public ReentrantReadWriteLock.WriteLock writeLock() { return writerLock; } public ReentrantReadWriteLock.ReadLock readLock() { return readerLock; } /* * Read vs write count extraction constants and functions. * Lock state is logically divided into two shorts: The lower * one representing the exclusive (writer) lock hold count, * and the upper the shared (reader) hold count. */ static final int SHARED_SHIFT = 16; static final int SHARED_UNIT = (1 << SHARED_SHIFT); static final int EXCLUSIVE_MASK = (1 << SHARED_SHIFT) - 1; /** Returns the number of shared holds represented in count */ static int sharedCount(int c) { return c >>> SHARED_SHIFT; } /** Returns the number of exclusive holds represented in count */ static int exclusiveCount(int c) { return c & EXCLUSIVE_MASK; } /** * Synchronization implementation for ReentrantReadWriteLock. * Subclassed into fair and nonfair versions. */ abstract static class Sync extends AbstractQueuedSynchronizer { /** Current (exclusive) owner thread */ transient Thread owner; /** * Perform write lock.
