38 /**
39  * Basic thread blocking primitives for creating locks and other
40  * synchronization classes.
41  *
42  * <p>This class associates, with each thread that uses it, a permit
43  * (in the sense of the {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore
44  * Semaphore} class). A call to {@code park} will return immediately
45  * if the permit is available, consuming it in the process; otherwise
46  * it <em>may</em> block.  A call to {@code unpark} makes the permit
47  * available, if it was not already available. (Unlike with Semaphores
48  * though, permits do not accumulate. There is at most one.)
49  * Reliable usage requires the use of volatile (or atomic) variables
50  * to control when to park or unpark.  Orderings of calls to these
51  * methods are maintained with respect to volatile variable accesses,
52  * but not necessarily non-volatile variable accesses.
53  *
54  * <p>Methods {@code park} and {@code unpark} provide efficient
55  * means of blocking and unblocking threads that do not encounter the
56  * problems that cause the deprecated methods {@code Thread.suspend}
57  * and {@code Thread.resume} to be unusable for such purposes: Races
58  * between one thread invoking {@code park} and another thread trying
59  * to {@code unpark} it will preserve liveness, due to the
60  * permit. Additionally, {@code park} will return if the caller's
61  * thread was interrupted, and timeout versions are supported. The
62  * {@code park} method may also return at any other time, for "no
63  * reason", so in general must be invoked within a loop that rechecks
64  * conditions upon return. In this sense {@code park} serves as an
65  * optimization of a "busy wait" that does not waste as much time
66  * spinning, but must be paired with an {@code unpark} to be
67  * effective.
68  *
69  * <p>The three forms of {@code park} each also support a
70  * {@code blocker} object parameter. This object is recorded while
71  * the thread is blocked to permit monitoring and diagnostic tools to
72  * identify the reasons that threads are blocked. (Such tools may
73  * access blockers using method {@link #getBlocker(Thread)}.)
74  * The use of these forms rather than the original forms without this
75  * parameter is strongly encouraged. The normal argument to supply as
76  * a {@code blocker} within a lock implementation is {@code this}.
77  *
78  * <p>These methods are designed to be used as tools for creating
79  * higher-level synchronization utilities, and are not in themselves
80  * useful for most concurrency control applications.  The {@code park}
81  * method is designed for use only in constructions of the form:
82  *
83  * <pre> {@code
84  * while (!canProceed()) {
85  *   // ensure request to unpark is visible to other threads
86  *   ...
87  *   LockSupport.park(this);
88  * }}</pre>
89  *
90  * where no actions by the thread publishing a request to unpark,
91  * prior to the call to {@code park}, entail locking or blocking.
92  * Because only one permit is associated with each thread, any
93  * intermediary uses of {@code park}, including implicitly via class
94  * loading, could lead to an unresponsive thread (a "lost unpark").
95  *
96  * <p><b>Sample Usage.</b> Here is a sketch of a first-in-first-out
97  * non-reentrant lock class:
98  * <pre> {@code
99  * class FIFOMutex {
100  *   private final AtomicBoolean locked = new AtomicBoolean(false);
101  *   private final Queue<Thread> waiters
102  *     = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<>();
103  *
104  *   public void lock() {
105  *     boolean wasInterrupted = false;
106  *     // publish current thread for unparkers
107  *     waiters.add(Thread.currentThread());
108  *
109  *     // Block while not first in queue or cannot acquire lock
110  *     while (waiters.peek() != Thread.currentThread() ||
111  *            !locked.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
112  *       LockSupport.park(this);
113  *       // ignore interrupts while waiting
114  *       if (Thread.interrupted())
115  *         wasInterrupted = true;
116  *     }
117  *
118  *     waiters.remove();
119  *     // ensure correct interrupt status on return
120  *     if (wasInterrupted)
121  *       Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
122  *   }
123  *
124  *   public void unlock() {
125  *     locked.set(false);
126  *     LockSupport.unpark(waiters.peek());
127  *   }
128  *
129  *   static {
130  *     // Reduce the risk of "lost unpark" due to classloading
131  *     Class<?> ensureLoaded = LockSupport.class;
132  *   }
