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
