python多執行緒程式設計4: 死鎖和可重入鎖

死鎖

線上程間共享多個資源的時候,如果兩個執行緒分別佔有一部分資源並且同時等待對方的資源,就會造成死鎖。儘管死鎖很少發生,但一旦發生就會造成應用的停止響應。下面看一個死鎖的例子:

# encoding: UTF-8
import threading
import time
 
class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def do1(self):
        global resA, resB
        if mutexA.acquire():
             msg = self.name+' got resA'
             print msg
              
             if mutexB.acquire(1):
                 msg = self.name+' got resB'
                 print msg
                 mutexB.release()
             mutexA.release()
    def do2(self):
        global resA, resB
        if mutexB.acquire():
             msg = self.name+' got resB'
             print msg
              
             if mutexA.acquire(1):
                 msg = self.name+' got resA'
                 print msg
                 mutexA.release()
             mutexB.release()
  
     
    def run(self):
        self.do1()
        self.do2()
resA = 0
resB = 0
 
mutexA = threading.Lock()
mutexB = threading.Lock()
 
def test():
    for i in range(5):
        t = MyThread()
        t.start()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    test()


執行結果:


Thread-1 got resA

Thread-1 got resB

Thread-1 got resB

Thread-1 got resA

Thread-2 got resA

Thread-2 got resB

Thread-2 got resB

Thread-2 got resA

Thread-3 got resA

Thread-3 got resB

Thread-3 got resB

Thread-3 got resA

Thread-5 got resA

Thread-5 got resB

Thread-5 got resB

Thread-4 got resA


此時程式已經死掉。


可重入鎖

更簡單的死鎖情況是一個執行緒“迭代”請求同一個資源,直接就會造成死鎖:

import threading
import time
 
class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        global num 
        time.sleep(1)
 
        if mutex.acquire(1):  
            num = num+1
            msg = self.name+' set num to '+str(num)
            print msg
            mutex.acquire()
            mutex.release()
            mutex.release()
num = 0
mutex = threading.Lock()
def test():
    for i in range(5):
        t = MyThread()
        t.start()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    test()


為了支援在同一執行緒中多次請求同一資源,python提供了“可重入鎖”:threading.RLock。RLock內部維護著一個Lock和一個counter變數,counter記錄了acquire的次數,從而使得資源可以被多次require。直到一個執行緒所有的acquire都被release,其他的執行緒才能獲得資源。上面的例子如果使用RLock代替Lock,則不會發生死鎖:

import threading
import time
 
class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        global num 
        time.sleep(1)
 
        if mutex.acquire(1):  
            num = num+1
            msg = self.name+' set num to '+str(num)
            print msg
            mutex.acquire()
            mutex.release()
            mutex.release()
num = 0
mutex = threading.RLock()
def test():
    for i in range(5):
        t = MyThread()
        t.start()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    test()

執行結果:


Thread-1 set num to 1

Thread-3 set num to 2

Thread-2 set num to 3

Thread-5 set num to 4

Thread-4 set num to 5
