java 中锁是个很重要的概念，当然这里的前提是你会涉及并发编程。除了语言提供的锁关键字 synchronized 和 volatile 之外，jdk 还有其他多种实用的锁。不过这些锁大多都是基于 AQS 队列同步器。ReadWriteLock 读写锁就是其中一个。

读写锁的含义是，将读锁与写锁分开对待，读锁可以任意个一起读，因为读并不涉及数据变更，而遇到写锁后，所有后续的读写都将被阻塞。这特性有什么用呢？比如我们有一个缓存，我们可以用它来提高访问速度，但是当数据变更时，怎样能保证读到准确的数据？

在没有读写锁之前，我们可以使用 wait/notify 机制，我们可以以写锁作为一个同步介质，当写锁被占用时，读只能等待，写操作完成后，通知所有读继续。这看起来不那么好实现！

当有了读写锁后，我们就不需要这么麻烦了，只需要读操作使用读锁，写操作获取写锁操作。大家可能会想，既然都要获取锁，那和其他锁有什么差别呢，一般看到锁咱们都会想到串行，阻塞。但其实读写锁不是这样的。看起来你是每次都获取读锁，但其实单纯的读锁并不会阻塞线程，所以同样是并行无阻，读锁只有在一种情况下会阻塞，那就是写锁被某线程占用时。因为写锁被占用则意味着，数据可能马上发生变化，如果此再允许读操作任意进行的话，多半可能读到写了一半或者是老数据，而这简直太糟了。而写锁则只每次都会真正进行后续操作的阻塞动作，使写操作保证强一致性。

好了，以上就是咱们从概念上来理解读写锁。

而实际上呢？ReadWriteLock 只是一个接口，而其实现则可能是 n 多的。我们就以 jdk 实现的 ReentrantReadWriteLock 为契机，看一下读写锁的实现吧。

在介绍 ReetrantReadWriteLock 之前，我们要先简单说下 ReentrantLock 重入锁，从字面意思理解，就是可重新进入的锁。那么，到底是什么意思呢？我们想一下，如果我们有 2 个资源锁可用，那么，如果我在本线程上锁两次，是不是资源就没有了呢，那第三次进行锁获取的时候，是不是就把自己给锁死了呢？想想应该是这样的，但是为啥平时咱们都遇不到这种情况呢？原因就在于可重入性。可重入的意思是说，如果当前线程进行多次加锁操作，那么无论如何它自己都是可以进入的。简单从实现来说就是，锁会排除当前线程，从而避免自身阻塞。这些需求看起来很理所当然，但是咱们自己实现的时候可能会因为场景不一样，从而不一定需要这种特性呢。syncronized 也是一种重入锁。好了，说了这么多，还是没有看到 ReetrantLock 是怎么实现的！

用个不恰当的图描绘下：（该锁是读写分离的，读多于写的场景能够在保证线程安全的同时提供尽可能大的并发能力）

我们来看下源码就一目了然了。

/**
* Fair version of tryAcquire
*/
protected final boolean tryAcquire(int acquires) {
    final Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
    int c = getState();
    if (c == 0) {
        if (!hasQueuedPredecessors() &&
            compareAndSetState(0, acquires)) {
            // 第一次进入获取到锁后，标记获得锁的线程，后续判定重入
            setExclusiveOwnerThread(current);
            return true;
        }
    }
    // 重入锁判定，否则失败
    else if (current == getExclusiveOwnerThread()) {
        // 最多可重入 int 次
        int nextc = c + acquires;
        if (nextc < 0)
            throw new Error("Maximum lock count exceeded");
        setState(nextc);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

重入锁介绍完后，咱们可以安心的来说说 ReentrantReadWriteLock 了。该读写锁也是一种可重入锁。它要实现的特性就是，读读锁无阻塞，写锁必阻塞（包括写读锁/写写锁），读写锁阻塞（需等待读锁释放后才能获取写锁从而保证无脏读）。

从上面可以看出，读和写是两个锁，但是他们的状态却是互相关联的，那怎样设计其数据结构呢？用两个变量去推导往往不太可行，因为其本身就是锁，如果再用两个变量去判定锁状态，那么又如何保证变量自身的可靠性呢？ReentrantReadWriteLock 是通过一个状态变量来控制的，具体为高 16 位保存读锁状态，低 16 位保存写锁状态，而在改变状态时，使用 cas 保证写入的可靠性。（其实这里可以看出，锁个数不应该超过 16 位即 65536 个，这种锁数量已经完全被忽略掉了）。有了数据结构，咱们再看下怎么控制读写互联。读锁的获取，写锁没被占用时，即低位为 0 时，高位大于 0 即可代表获取了读锁，所以，读锁是 n 个可用的。而写锁的获取，则要依赖高低位判定了，高位大于 0，即代表还有读锁存在，不能进入，如果高位为 0，也不一定可进入，低位不为 0 则代表有写锁在占用，所以只有高低位都为 0 时，写锁才可用。

下面，来看下读写锁的具体实现！来个例子先:

public class ReadWriteLockTest {
    private ReentrantReadWriteLock reentrantReadWriteLock = new ReentrantReadWriteLock();
    /**
     * 读锁
     */
    private Lock r = reentrantReadWriteLock.readLock();

    /**
     * 写锁
     */
    private Lock w = reentrantReadWriteLock.writeLock();

    /**
     * 执行线程池
     */
    private ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();

    @Test
    public void testReadLock() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            Thread readWorker = new ReadWorker();
            executorService.submit(readWorker);
        }
        waitForExecutorFinish();
    }

    @Test
    public void testWriteLock() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            Thread writeWorker = new WriteWorker();
            executorService.submit(writeWorker);
        }
        waitForExecutorFinish();
    }

    @Test
    public void testReadWriteLock() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            Thread readWorker = new ReadWorker();
            Thread writeWorker = new WriteWorker();
            executorService.submit(readWorker);
            executorService.submit(writeWorker);
        }
        waitForExecutorFinish();
    }

    /**
     * 线程模拟完成后，关闭线程池
     */
    private void waitForExecutorFinish() {
        executorService.shutdown();
        try {
            executorService.awaitTermination(100, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private final class ReadWorker extends Thread {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            r.lock();
            try {
                SleepUtils.second(1);
                System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() + ": " + Thread.currentThread().getName() + " reading...");
                SleepUtils.second(1);
            }
            finally {
                r.unlock();
            }
        }
    }

    private final class WriteWorker extends Thread {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            w.lock();
            try {
                SleepUtils.second(1);
                System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() + ": " + Thread.currentThread().getName() + " writing...");
                SleepUtils.second(1);
            }
            finally {
                w.unlock();
            }
        }
    }
}

可以看到 testReadLock()，无阻塞，立即完成 10 个读任务！而 testWriteLock() 则是全部阻塞执行，20 秒完成串行 10 个任务！而 testReadWriteLock() 则是读锁与写锁交替执行，在执行写锁时，所有锁等待，在执行读锁时，可能存在多个锁同时运行！执行结果样例如下：

ok，现象已经展示了，是时候透过现象看本质了！

1. 读锁的获取过程 r.lock()，其实现为 ReadLock！

            }
            return 1;
        }
    }
}

以上是获取读锁的过程，其实际控制很简单，只是多了很多的状态统计，所以看起来复杂！

2. 下面，来看写锁的获取过程，WriteLock.lock()

        acquireQueued(addWaiter(Node.EXCLUSIVE), arg))
        selfInterrupt();
}

    * 3. Otherwise, this thread is eligible for lock if

    */
    Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
    int c = getState();
    int w = exclusiveCount(c);
    // 如果是0，则说明不存在读写锁，直接成功
    // 否则分有读锁和有写锁两种情况判断
    if (c != 0) {
        // (Note: if c != 0 and w == 0 then shared count != 0)
        // 存在读锁，或者不是当前线程（重入），则直接失败
        if (w == 0 || current != getExclusiveOwnerThread())
            return false;
        if (w + exclusiveCount(acquires) > MAX_COUNT)
            throw new Error("Maximum lock count exceeded");
        // Reentrant acquire
        setState(c + acquires);
        return true;
    }
    // cas 更新 state 
    if (writerShouldBlock() ||
        !compareAndSetState(c, c + acquires))
        return false;
    setExclusiveOwnerThread(current);
    return true;
}

    return node;
}

// AQS 的锁入队列操，从队列中进行锁获取，如果获取失败，则产线一个中断标志

        }
    } finally {
        if (failed)
            cancelAcquire(node);
    }
}

ok，读写锁的获取已经完成，再来看一下释放的过程！

3. 读锁的释放 ReadLock.unlock()

public void unlock() {
    // AQS 的释放控制
    sync.releaseShared(1);
}

// AQS 释放锁

    }
}

4. 读锁的释放，WriteLock.unlock()

public void unlock() {

    sync.release(1);
}

// AQS

    if (tryRelease(arg)) {

    }
    return false;

        throw new IllegalMonitorStateException();

}

综上，读写锁的简要解析就算完成了。 其主要使用 AQS 的基础组件，进行锁调度！使用 CAS 进行状态的安全设置！ 而锁的阻塞，则是使用 LockSupport 工具组件进行实际阻塞！
