LockSupport APIs
1. unpark(Thread thread)
Create a new thread to unpark thread t after seconds passed.
/**
* Create a new thread to unpark thread t after seconds passed
* @param t
* @param seconds
*/
private static void unpark(Thread t, long seconds) {
new Thread(() -> {
try {
Thread.sleep(seconds * _SEC_MS);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
LockSupport.unpark(t);
}).start();
}
2. park() vs park(Object blocker)
t1 is blocked by LockSupport.park().
t2 is blocked by LockSupport.park(blocker).
unpark t1 and t2 after 60 seconds.
private static void parkVsParkBlocker() {
Thread t1 = new Thread(() -> {
LockSupport.park();
}, "t1");
t1.start();
Object blocker = new Object();
Thread t2 = new Thread(() -> {
LockSupport.park(blocker);
}, "t2");
t2.start();
LockSupport.getBlocker(t2);
unpark(t1, 60);
unpark(t2, 60);
}
Print java stack trace of a given jvm process.

park vs park with blocker
3. getBlocker(Thread t)
LockSupport.getBlocker(t2);
4. parkNanos(long nanos) vs parkUntil(long deadline)
Park thread t1, t2, t3, t4 for 5 seconds, unpark t2, t4 after 2 seconds.
Thread t1, t2 parkNanos(long nanos).
Thread t1 = park(5, 5, ParkMethod.PARK_NANOS);
Thread t2 = park(5, 2, ParkMethod.PARK_NANOS);
unpark(t2, 2);
Thread t3, t4 parkUntil(long deadline).
Thread t3 = park(5, 5, ParkMethod.PARK_UNTIL);
Thread t4 = park(5, 2, ParkMethod.PARK_UNTIL);
unpark(t4, 2);
Thread t1, t3 are blocked for 5 seconds, since no other thread unpark t1, t3.
Thread t2, t4 are blocked for 2 seconds, since other thread unpark t2, t4 after 2 seconds.
private static long _SEC_NS = 1000000000;

assert (System.currentTimeMillis() - start) / _SEC_MS == actualParkSeconds;
});
t.start();

5. parkNanos(Object blocker, long nanos) vs parkUntil(Object blocker, long deadline)
Thread t1, t2 are blocked for object blocker for 60 seconds
private static void parkNanosVsParkUtilBlocker() {
Object blocker = new Object();

Summary
park set _counter to 0, block thread through pthread_cond_wait/pthread_cond_timedwait.
unpark set _counter to 1, unblock thread through pthread_cond_signal.
A call to park will return immediately if the permit is available(_counter = 1), consuming it in the process(_counter = 0); otherwise(_counter = 0) it may block. A call to unpark makes the permit available(_counter = 1), if it was not already available.
