本文针对MySQL InnoDB中在Repeatable Read的隔离级别下使用select for update可能引发的死锁问题进行分析。
1. 业务案例
业务中需要对各种类型的实体进行编号，例如对于x类实体的编号可能是x201712120001，x201712120002，x201712120003类似于这样。可以观察到这类编号有两个部分组成：x+日期作为前缀，以及流水号（这里是四位的流水号）。
如果用数据库表实现一个能够分配流水号的需求，无外乎就可以建立一个类似于下面的表：
CREATE TABLE number (
prefix VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT '前缀码',
value BIGINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 COMMENT '流水号',
UNIQUE KEY uk_prefix(prefix)
);
那么在业务层，根据业务规则得到编号的前缀比如x20171212，接下去就可以在代码中起事务，用select for update进行如下的控制。
@Transactional
long acquire(String prefix) {
SerialNumber current = dao.selectAndLock(prefix);
if (current == null) {
dao.insert(new Record(prefix, 1));
return 1;
}
else {
current.number++;
dao.update(current);
return current.number;
}
}
这段代码做的事情其实就是加锁筛选，有则更新，无则插入，然而在Repeatable Read的隔离级别下这段代码是有潜在死锁问题的。(另一处与事务传播行为相关的问题也会在下文提及)。
2. 分析与解决
当可以通过select for update的where条件筛出记录时，上面的代码是不会有deadlock问题的。然而当select for update中的where条件无法筛选出记录时，这时在有多个线程执行上面的acquire方法时是可能会出现死锁的。
2.1 一个简单的复现场景
下面通过一个比较简单的例子复现一下这个场景首先给表里初始化3条数据。
insert into number select 'bbb',2;
insert into number select 'hhh',8;
insert into number select 'yyy',25;
接着按照如下的时序进行操作：
| session 1 | session 2 |
|---|---|
| begin; | |
| begin; | |
| select * from number where prefix='ddd' for update; | |
| select * from number where prefix='fff' for update | |
| insert into number select 'ddd',1 | |
| 锁等待中 | insert into number select 'fff',1 |
| 锁等待解除 | 死锁，session 2的事务被回滚 |
2.2 分析下这个死锁
通过查看show engine innodb status的信息，我们慢慢地观察每一步的情况：
2.2.1 session1做了select for update

事务238434拿到了hhh前的gap锁，也就是('bbb', 'hhh')的gap锁。
2.2.2 session2做了select for update
------------TRANSACTIONS------------Trx id counter 238436Purge done for trx's n:o < 238430 undo n:o < 0 state: running but idleHistory list length 13LIST OF TRANSACTIONS FOR EACH SESSION:---TRANSACTION 281479459589696, not started0 lock struct(s), heap size 1136, 0 row lock(s)---TRANSACTION 238435, ACTIVE 3 sec2 lock struct(s), heap size 1136, 1 row lock(s)MySQL thread id 161, OS thread handle 123145573408768, query id 69155 localhost rootTABLE LOCK table

事务238435也拿到了hhh前的gap锁。
截自InnoDB的lock_rec_has_to_wait方法实现，可以看到的LOCK_GAP类型的锁只要不带有插入意向标识，不必等待其它锁（表锁除外）
2.2.3 session1尝试insert

可以看到，这时候事务238434在尝试插入'ddd',1时，由于发现其他事务(238435)已经有这个区间的gap锁，因此innodb给事务238434上了插入意向锁，锁的模式为LOCK_X | LOCK_GAP | LOCK_INSERT_INTENTION，等待事务238435释放掉gap锁。

到了这里，我们可以从死锁信息中看出，由于事务238435在插入时也发现了事务238434的gap锁，同样加上了插入意向锁，等待事务238434释放掉gap锁。因此出现死锁的情况。
2.3 debug it！
接下来通过debug MySQL的源码来重新复现上面的场景。这里session2的事务4445加锁的type_mode为515，也即(LOCK_X | LOCK_GAP)，与session1事务的锁4444的gap锁lock2->type_mode=547(LOCK_X | LOCK_REC | LOCK_GAP)的lock_mode是不兼容的（两者皆为LOCK_X）。然而由于type_mode满足LOCK_GAP且不带有LCK_INSERT_INTENTION的标识位，这里会判定为不需要等待。因此，第二个session执行select for update也同样成功加上gap锁了。
这里sesion1事务4444执行insert时type_mode为2563(LOCK_X | LOCK_GAP | LOCK_INSERT_INTENTION)，由于带有LOCK_INSERT_INTENTION标识位，因此需要等待session2事务释放4445的gap锁。后续session1事务4444获得了一个插入意向锁，并且在等待session2事务4445释放gap锁。
这里session2事务4445同样执行了insert操作，插入意向锁需要等待session1的事务4444的gap锁释放。在死锁检测时，被探测到形成等待环。因此InnoDB会选择一个事务作为victim进行回滚。其过程大致如下：
- session2尝试获取插入意向锁，需要等待session1的gap锁
- session1事务的插入意向锁处于等待中
- session1事务插入意向锁在等待session2的gap锁
- 形成环路，检测到死锁
2.4 如何避免这个死锁
我们已经知道，这种情况出现的原因是：两个session同时通过select for update，并且未命中任何记录的情况下，是有可能得到相同gap的锁的（要看where筛选条件是否落在同一个区间。如果上面的案例如果一个session准备插入'ddd'另一个准备插入'kkk'则不会出现冲突，因为不是同一个gap）。此时再进行并发插入，其中一个会进入锁等待，待第二个session进行插入时，会出现死锁。MySQL会根据事务权重选择一个事务进行回滚。
那么如何避免这个情况呢？一种解决办法是将事务隔离级别降低到Read Committed，这时不会有gap锁，对于上述场景，如果where中条件不同即最终要插入的键不同，则不会有问题。如果业务代码中可能不同线程会尝试对相同键进行select for update，则可在业务代码中捕获索引冲突异常进行重试。此外，上面代码示例中的代码还有一处值得注意的地方是事务注解@Transactional的传播机制，对于这类与主流程事务关系不大的方法，应当将事务传播行为改为 REQUIRES_NEW。原因有两点:
- 因为这里的解决方案是对隔离级别降级，如果传播行为仍然是默认的话，在外层事务隔离级别不是RC的情况下，会抛出IllegalTransactionStateException异常(在你的TransactionManager开启了validateExistingTransaction校验的情况下)。
- 如果加入外层事务的话，某个线程在执行获取流水号的时候可能会因为另一个线程的与流水号不相关的事务代码还没执行完毕而阻塞。
