读Lock-Free论文实践

论文地址：implementing Lock-Free Queue

论文大体讲的意思是：Lock-Base的程序的performance不好，并且a process inside the critical section can delay all operations indenitely；所以基于以上的弊端，他们提出了Non-Blocking的算法，也就是CSW和FAA，当然就是CAS，而CAS也有最难以handler的情况，也就是ABA问题，他们给出了solution，也就是检查引用；他们分别给出了链表场景和数组场景的algorithm，最后是性能分析。

这篇笔记主要为了给Lock-Free提供一些实现方法和思路。

我们先看链表的情况：

双端链表，入队Enqueue方法是tail移动，出队Dequeue是Head移动，下面记录一下伪代码。

Enqueue(x)
q new record
q^:value x
q^:next NULL
repeat
p tail
succ Compare&Swap(p^:next, NULL, q)
if succ 6= TRUE
Compare&Swap(tail ; p; p^:next)
until succ = TRUE
Compare&Swap(tail ; p; q)
end

Dequeue()
repeat
p head
if p^:next = NULL
error queue empty
until Compare&Swap(head ; p; p^:next)
return p^:next^:value
end

Enqueue的思路是，先设置tail的next指针，如果成功，则把tail指针移动；Dequeue的思路是，如果head的copy p的next不为空，则进行移动，并在成功之后返回之前p的next的值，Java没有指针操作，只有使用unSafe类进行内存操作。（数组实现要比链表实现稳定多了）在跑线程的时候，add会有几率出现Runnable的情况，目前还不知道什么原因，最初的原因是把变量赋值写在for(;;)里，导致它一直不取值，只做循环体，将赋值写在循环体里好了一些，但还是会出现死循环问题。

这里我跑了2个生产者线程，2个消费者线程，数据有序的被消费了。

接下来，我实践了环形数组的实现，基于我之前实现的BlockingQueue，这个Lock-Free Queue会变得比较简单。

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

/**
 * Created by MacBook on 2019/4/13.
 */
public class MyLockFreeQueue<E> implements MyQueue<E>{
    private Object[] data;
    private AtomicInteger takeIndex;
    private AtomicInteger putIndex;
    private AtomicInteger size;
    private static final int DEFAULT_CAPACITY = 10;

    public MyLockFreeQueue (){
        this(DEFAULT_CAPACITY);
    }
    public MyLockFreeQueue(int initCapacity){
        if(initCapacity < 0){
            throw new IllegalStateException("initCapacity must not be negative");
        }
        data = new Object[initCapacity];
        takeIndex = new AtomicInteger(0);
        putIndex = new AtomicInteger(0);
        size = new AtomicInteger(0);
    }

    public boolean add(E e){
        if(e == null){
            throw new NullPointerException("the element you put can't be null");
        }
        for(int index = putIndex.get();;){
            if(size.get() == data.length){
                return false;
            }
            int expect = (index == data.length - 1)?0:(index+1);
            if(putIndex.compareAndSet(index,expect)){
                data[index] = e;
                size.incrementAndGet();
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    public E take(){
        for(int index = takeIndex.get();;){
            if(size.get() == 0){
                return null;
            }
            int expect = (index == data.length - 1)?0:(index+1);
            E e = (E)data[index];
            if(takeIndex.compareAndSet(index,expect)){
                size.decrementAndGet();
                return e;
            }
        }
    }
}

思路就是，使用两个标记入队和出队的Atom Integer对象，在成功申请当前格子之后，给当前格子赋值，使用size来判断是否EMPTY和FULL。这里依然有一点缺陷，就是index和size不同步的问题，不过我也是跑了2+2线程，也是有序消费了。
