This class has the following properties: * *
This class does not impose a reader or writer preference * ordering for lock access. However, it does support an optional * fairness policy. * *
* *
A thread that tries to acquire a fair read lock (non-reentrantly) * will block if either the write lock is held, or there is a waiting * writer thread. The thread will not acquire the read lock until * after the oldest currently waiting writer thread has acquired and * released the write lock. Of course, if a waiting writer abandons * its wait, leaving one or more reader threads as the longest waiters * in the queue with the write lock free, then those readers will be * assigned the read lock. * *
A thread that tries to acquire a fair write lock (non-reentrantly) * will block unless both the read lock and write lock are free (which * implies there are no waiting threads). (Note that the non-blocking * {@link ReadLock#tryLock()} and {@link WriteLock#tryLock()} methods * do not honor this fair setting and will acquire the lock if it is * possible, regardless of waiting threads.) *
*
This lock allows both readers and writers to reacquire read or * write locks in the style of a {@link ReentrantLock}. Non-reentrant * readers are not allowed until all write locks held by the writing * thread have been released. * *
Additionally, a writer can acquire the read lock, but not * vice-versa. Among other applications, reentrancy can be useful * when write locks are held during calls or callbacks to methods that * perform reads under read locks. If a reader tries to acquire the * write lock it will never succeed. * *
Reentrancy also allows downgrading from the write lock to a read lock, * by acquiring the write lock, then the read lock and then releasing the * write lock. However, upgrading from a read lock to the write lock is * not possible. * *
The read lock and write lock both support interruption during lock * acquisition. * *
The write lock provides a {@link Condition} implementation that * behaves in the same way, with respect to the write lock, as the * {@link Condition} implementation provided by * {@link ReentrantLock#newCondition} does for {@link ReentrantLock}. * This {@link Condition} can, of course, only be used with the write lock. * *
The read lock does not support a {@link Condition} and * {@code readLock().newCondition()} throws * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. * *
This class supports methods to determine whether locks * are held or contended. These methods are designed for monitoring * system state, not for synchronization control. *
Serialization of this class behaves in the same way as built-in * locks: a deserialized lock is in the unlocked state, regardless of * its state when serialized. * *
Sample usages. Here is a code sketch showing how to exploit * reentrancy to perform lock downgrading after updating a cache (exception * handling is elided for simplicity): *
* class CachedData {
* Object data;
* volatile boolean cacheValid;
* ReentrantReadWriteLock rwl = new ReentrantReadWriteLock();
*
* void processCachedData() {
* rwl.readLock().lock();
* if (!cacheValid) {
* // Must release read lock before acquiring write lock
* rwl.readLock().unlock();
* rwl.writeLock().lock();
* // Recheck state because another thread might have acquired
* // write lock and changed state before we did.
* if (!cacheValid) {
* data = ...
* cacheValid = true;
* }
* // Downgrade by acquiring read lock before releasing write lock
* rwl.readLock().lock();
* rwl.writeLock().unlock(); // Unlock write, still hold read
* }
*
* use(data);
* rwl.readLock().unlock();
* }
* }
*
*
* ReentrantReadWriteLocks can be used to improve concurrency in some
* uses of some kinds of Collections. This is typically worthwhile
* only when the collections are expected to be large, accessed by
* more reader threads than writer threads, and entail operations with
* overhead that outweighs synchronization overhead. For example, here
* is a class using a TreeMap that is expected to be large and
* concurrently accessed.
*
* {@code
* class RWDictionary {
* private final Map m = new TreeMap();
* private final ReentrantReadWriteLock rwl = new ReentrantReadWriteLock();
* private final Lock r = rwl.readLock();
* private final Lock w = rwl.writeLock();
*
* public Data get(String key) {
* r.lock();
* try { return m.get(key); }
* finally { r.unlock(); }
* }
* public String[] allKeys() {
* r.lock();
* try { return m.keySet().toArray(); }
* finally { r.unlock(); }
* }
* public Data put(String key, Data value) {
* w.lock();
* try { return m.put(key, value); }
* finally { w.unlock(); }
* }
* public void clear() {
* w.lock();
* try { m.clear(); }
* finally { w.unlock(); }
* }
* }}
*
* This lock supports a maximum of 65535 recursive write locks
* and 65535 read locks. Attempts to exceed these limits result in
* {@link Error} throws from locking methods.
