java并发编程(十四)--线程间通信中notify通知的遗漏

    notify通知的遗漏很容易理解,即threadA还没开始wait的时候,threadB已经notify了,这样,threadB通知是没有任何响应的,当threadB退出synchronized代码块后,threadA再开始wait,便会一直阻塞等待,直到被别的线程打断。

 

遗漏通知的代码

    下面给出一段代码演示通知是如何遗漏的,如下:

public class MissedNotify extends Object {
	private Object proceedLock;

	public MissedNotify() {
		print("in MissedNotify()");
		proceedLock = new Object();
	}

	public void waitToProceed() throws InterruptedException {
		print("in waitToProceed() - entered");

		synchronized ( proceedLock ) {
			print("in waitToProceed() - about to wait()");
			proceedLock.wait();
			print("in waitToProceed() - back from wait()");
		}

		print("in waitToProceed() - leaving");
	}

	public void proceed() {
		print("in proceed() - entered");

		synchronized ( proceedLock ) {
			print("in proceed() - about to notifyAll()");
			proceedLock.notifyAll();
			print("in proceed() - back from notifyAll()");
		}

		print("in proceed() - leaving");
	}

	private static void print(String msg) {
		String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
		System.out.println(name + ": " + msg);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		final MissedNotify mn = new MissedNotify();

		Runnable runA = new Runnable() {
				public void run() {
					try {
						//休眠1000ms,大于runB中的500ms,
						//是为了后调用waitToProceed,从而先notifyAll,后wait,
						//从而造成通知的遗漏
						Thread.sleep(1000);
						mn.waitToProceed();
					} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {
						x.printStackTrace();
					}
				}
			};

		Thread threadA = new Thread(runA, "threadA");
		threadA.start();

		Runnable runB = new Runnable() {
				public void run() {
					try {
						//休眠500ms,小于runA中的1000ms,
						//是为了先调用proceed,从而先notifyAll,后wait,
						//从而造成通知的遗漏
						Thread.sleep(500);
						mn.proceed();
					} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {
						x.printStackTrace();
					}
				}
			};

		Thread threadB = new Thread(runB, "threadB");
		threadB.start();

		try { 
			Thread.sleep(10000);
		} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {}

		//试图打断wait阻塞
		print("about to invoke interrupt() on threadA");
		threadA.interrupt();
	}
}

    执行结果如下:

    分析:由于threadB在执行mn.proceed()之前只休眠了500ms,而threadA在执行mn.waitToProceed()之前休眠了1000ms,因此,threadB会先苏醒,继而执行mn.proceed(),获取到proceedLock的对象锁,继而执行其中的notifyAll(),当退出proceed()方法中的synchronized代码块时,threadA才有机会获取proceedLock的对象锁,继而执行其中的wait()方法,但此时notifyAll()方法已经执行完毕,threadA便漏掉了threadB的通知,便会阻塞下去。后面主线程休眠10秒后,尝试中断threadA线程,使其抛出InterruptedException。

   

修正后的代码

    为了修正MissedNotify,需要添加一个boolean指示变量,该变量只能在同步代码块内部访问和修改。修改后的代码如下:

public class MissedNotifyFix extends Object {
	private Object proceedLock;
	//该标志位用来指示线程是否需要等待
	private boolean okToProceed;

	public MissedNotifyFix() {
		print("in MissedNotify()");
		proceedLock = new Object();
		//先设置为false
		okToProceed = false;
	}

	public void waitToProceed() throws InterruptedException {
		print("in waitToProceed() - entered");

		synchronized ( proceedLock ) {
			print("in waitToProceed() - entered sync block");
			//while循环判断,这里不用if的原因是为了防止早期通知
			while ( okToProceed == false ) {
				print("in waitToProceed() - about to wait()");
				proceedLock.wait();
				print("in waitToProceed() - back from wait()");
			}

			print("in waitToProceed() - leaving sync block");
		}

		print("in waitToProceed() - leaving");
	}

	public void proceed() {
		print("in proceed() - entered");

		synchronized ( proceedLock ) {
			print("in proceed() - entered sync block");
			//通知之前,将其设置为true,这样即使出现通知遗漏的情况,也不会使线程在wait出阻塞
			okToProceed = true;
			print("in proceed() - changed okToProceed to true");
			proceedLock.notifyAll();
			print("in proceed() - just did notifyAll()");

			print("in proceed() - leaving sync block");
		}

		print("in proceed() - leaving");
	}

	private static void print(String msg) {
		String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
		System.out.println(name + ": " + msg);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		final MissedNotifyFix mnf = new MissedNotifyFix();

		Runnable runA = new Runnable() {
				public void run() {
					try {
						//休眠1000ms,大于runB中的500ms,
						//是为了后调用waitToProceed,从而先notifyAll,后wait,
						Thread.sleep(1000);
						mnf.waitToProceed();
					} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {
						x.printStackTrace();
					}
				}
			};

		Thread threadA = new Thread(runA, "threadA");
		threadA.start();

		Runnable runB = new Runnable() {
				public void run() {
					try {
						//休眠500ms,小于runA中的1000ms,
						//是为了先调用proceed,从而先notifyAll,后wait,
						Thread.sleep(500);
						mnf.proceed();
					} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {
						x.printStackTrace();
					}
				}
			};

		Thread threadB = new Thread(runB, "threadB");
		threadB.start();

		try { 
			Thread.sleep(10000);
		} catch ( InterruptedException x ) {}

		print("about to invoke interrupt() on threadA");
		threadA.interrupt();
	}
}

    执行结果如下:

    注意代码中加了注释的部分,在threadB进行通知之前,先将okToProceed置为true,这样如果threadA将通知遗漏,那么就不会进入while循环,也便不会执行wait方法,线程也就不会阻塞。如果通知没有被遗漏,wait方法返回后,okToProceed已经被置为true,下次while循环判断条件不成立,便会退出循环。

    这样,通过标志位和wait、notifyAll的配合使用,便避免了通知遗漏而造成的阻塞问题。

 

   总结:在使用线程的等待/通知机制时,一般都要配合一个boolean变量值(或者其他能够判断真假的条件),在notify之前改变该boolean变量的值,让wait返回后能够退出while循环(一般都要在wait方法外围加一层while循环,以防止早期通知),或在通知被遗漏后,不会被阻塞在wait方法处。这样便保证了程序的正确性。
