posix thread互斥量

互斥量

互斥量（Mutex）是“mutual exclusion”的缩写。互斥量是实现线程同步，和保护同时写共享数据的主要方法。
使用互斥量的典型顺序如下：
1. 创建和初始一个互斥量
2. 多个线程尝试去锁定该互斥量
3. 仅有一个线程可以成功锁定改互斥量
4. 锁定成功的线程做一些处理
5. 线程解锁该互斥量
6. 另外一个线程获得互斥量，重复上述过程
7. 最后销毁互斥量

 

创建和销毁互斥量

pthread_mutex_t_numtex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
int pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex, pthread_mutexattr_t *attr);
int pthread_mutex_destory(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);

 

互斥量必须用类型pthread_mutex_t类型声明，在使用前必须初始化，这里有两种方法可以初始化互斥量：

  1. 声明时静态地，如：pthread_mutex_t mymutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER; 
  2. 动态地用pthread_mutex_init()函数，这种方法允许设定互斥量的属性对象attr。

互斥量初始化后是解锁的。 

attr对象用于设置互斥量对象的属性，使用时必须声明为pthread_mutextattr_t类型，默认值可以是NULL。

Pthreads标准定义了三种可选的互斥量属性： 

  1. 协议（Protocol）： 指定了协议用于阻止互斥量的优先级改变 
  2. 优先级上限（Prioceiling）：指定互斥量的优先级上限 
  3. 进程共享（Process-shared）：指定进程共享互斥量

注意所有实现都提供了这三个可先的互斥量属性。

pthread_mutexattr_init()和pthread_mutexattr_destroy()函数分别用于创建和销毁互斥量属性对象。

pthread_mutex_destroy()应该用于释放不需要再使用的互斥量对象。

 

将互斥量和它要保护的数据明显的关联起来是个不错的选择。如下例： 

 

 1 #include<pthread.h>
 2 #include "errors.h"
 3 
 4 typedef struct my_struct_tag {
 5     pthread_mutex_t mutex;
 6     int value;
 7 } my_struct_t;
 8 
 9 int main(int argc, char* argv[])
10 {
11     my_struct_t *data;
12     int status;
13 
14     data = malloc(sizeof(my_struct_t));
15     if( data == NULL )
16         errno_abort("malloc");
17     status = pthread_mutex_init(&data->mutex, NULL);
18     if( status != 0 )
19         err_abort(status, "init mutex");
20     status = pthread_mutex_destroy(&data->mutex);
21     if( status != 0 )
22         err_abort(status, "destroy mutex");
23     (void)free(data);
24     return status;
25 
26 }
mutex_dynamic.c

 

加锁和解锁互斥量

int pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
int phtread_mutex_trylock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex); //非阻塞加锁
int pthrad_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);

线程用pthread_mutex_lock()函数去锁定指定的mutex变量，若该mutex已经被另外一个线程锁定了，该调用将会阻塞线程直到mutex被解锁。

pthread_mutex_trylock()尝试着去锁定一个互斥量，然而，若互斥量已被锁定，程序会立刻返回并返回一个忙错误(EBUSY)值。该函数在优先级改变情况下阻止死锁是非常有用的。

线程可以用pthread_mutex_unlock()解锁自己占用的互斥量。在一个线程完成对保护数据的使用，而其它线程要获得互斥量在保护数据上工作时，可以调用该函数。

若有一下情形则会发生错误：

  1. 互斥量已经被解锁
  2. 互斥量被另一个线程占用

  在试锁和回退算法中，总是应该以相反的顺序解锁互斥量：

  • 尝试加锁互斥量1;如果成功，再加锁互斥量2;如果成功，再加锁互斥量3。如果某一个互斥量加锁失败，则全部回退。
  • 解锁互斥量3/2/1

按照相反顺序解锁，如果第二个线程需要加锁这三个互斥量，则会由于加锁互斥量1失败而回退；而如果先解锁1-2-3这样的顺序，可能会到加锁互斥量3时候才失败，回退代价更大。
