ruby – ThreadPool中的死锁

我找不到 Ruby的一个体面的ThreadPool实现,所以我写了我的(部分基于代码从这里： http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3276,但更改为等待/信号和其他实现ThreadPool关闭,但经过一段时间的运行(有100个线程和处理大约1300个任务),它在25号线上死亡,它等待着一个新的工作,任何想法,为什么会发生？

require 'thread'
begin
  require 'fastthread'
rescue LoadError
  $stderr.puts "Using the ruby-core thread implementation"
end 

class ThreadPool
  class Worker
    def initialize(callback)
      @mutex = Mutex.new
      @cv = ConditionVariable.new
      @callback = callback
      @mutex.synchronize {@running = true}
      @thread = Thread.new do
        while @mutex.synchronize {@running}
          block = get_block
          if block
            block.call
            reset_block
            # Signal the ThreadPool that this worker is ready for another job
            @callback.signal
          else
            # Wait for a new job
            @mutex.synchronize {@cv.wait(@mutex)} # <=== Is this line 25?
          end
        end
      end
    end

    def name
      @thread.inspect
    end

    def get_block
      @mutex.synchronize {@block}
    end

    def set_block(block)
      @mutex.synchronize do
        raise RuntimeError,"Thread already busy." if @block
        @block = block
        # Signal the thread in this class,that there's a job to be done
        @cv.signal
      end
    end

    def reset_block
      @mutex.synchronize {@block = nil}
    end

    def busy?
      @mutex.synchronize {!@block.nil?}
    end

    def stop
      @mutex.synchronize {@running = false}
      # Signal the thread not to wait for a new job
      @cv.signal
      @thread.join
    end
  end

  attr_accessor :max_size

  def initialize(max_size = 10)
    @max_size = max_size
    @workers = []
    @mutex = Mutex.new
    @cv = ConditionVariable.new
  end

  def size
    @mutex.synchronize {@workers.size}
  end

  def busy?
    @mutex.synchronize {@workers.any? {|w| w.busy?}}
  end

  def shutdown
    @mutex.synchronize {@workers.each {|w| w.stop}}
  end
  alias :join :shutdown

  def process(block=nil,&blk)
    block = blk if block_given?
    while true
      @mutex.synchronize do
         worker = get_worker 
         if worker
           return worker.set_block(block)
         else
           # Wait for a free worker
           @cv.wait(@mutex)
         end
      end
    end
  end

  # Used by workers to report ready status
  def signal
    @cv.signal
  end

  private
  def get_worker
    free_worker || create_worker
  end

  def free_worker
    @workers.each {|w| return w unless w.busy?}; nil
  end

  def create_worker
    return nil if @workers.size >= @max_size
    worker = Worker.new(self)
    @workers << worker
    worker
  end
end

解决方法

好的,所以实现的主要问题是：如何确保没有信号丢失并避免死锁？

在我的经验中,这很难用条件变量和互斥体来实现,但是很容易用信号量.这样发生的是,ruby会实现一个应该解决问题的名为Queue(或SizedQueue)的对象.这是我建议的实施：

require 'thread'
begin
  require 'fasttread'
rescue LoadError
  $stderr.puts "Using the ruby-core thread implementation"
end

class ThreadPool
  class Worker
    def initialize(thread_queue)
      @mutex = Mutex.new
      @cv = ConditionVariable.new
      @queue = thread_queue
      @running = true
      @thread = Thread.new do
        @mutex.synchronize do
          while @running
            @cv.wait(@mutex)
            block = get_block
            if block
              @mutex.unlock
              block.call
              @mutex.lock
              reset_block
            end
            @queue << self
          end
        end
      end
    end

    def name
      @thread.inspect
    end

    def get_block
      @block
    end

    def set_block(block)
      @mutex.synchronize do
        raise RuntimeError,that there's a job to be done
        @cv.signal
      end
    end

    def reset_block
      @block = nil
    end

    def busy?
      @mutex.synchronize { !@block.nil? }
    end

    def stop
      @mutex.synchronize do
        @running = false
        @cv.signal
      end
      @thread.join
    end
  end

  attr_accessor :max_size

  def initialize(max_size = 10)
    @max_size = max_size
    @queue = Queue.new
    @workers = []
  end

  def size
    @workers.size
  end

  def busy?
    @queue.size < @workers.size
  end

  def shutdown
    @workers.each { |w| w.stop }
    @workers = []
  end

  alias :join :shutdown

  def process(block=nil,&blk)
    block = blk if block_given?
    worker = get_worker
    worker.set_block(block)
  end

  private

  def get_worker
    if !@queue.empty? or @workers.size == @max_size
      return @queue.pop
    else
      worker = Worker.new(@queue)
      @workers << worker
      worker
    end
  end

end

这里是一个简单的测试代码：

tp = ThreadPool.new 500
(1..1000).each { |i| tp.process { (2..10).inject(1) { |memo,val| sleep(0.1); memo*val }; print "computation #{i} done. Nb of tasks: #{tp.size}\n" } }
tp.shutdown
