The cell // stores a `Waker` value produced by calls to `register` and many threads can // race to take the waker by calling `wake. // // If a new `Waker` instance is produced by calling `register` before an existing // one is consumed, then the existing one is overwritten. // // While `AtomicWaker` is single-producer, the implementation ensures memory // safety. In the event of concurrent calls to `register`, there will be a // single winner whose waker will get stored in the cell. The losers will not // have their tasks woken. As such, callers should ensure to add synchronization // to calls to `register`. // // The implementation uses a single `AtomicUsize` value to coordinate access to // the `Waker` cell. There are two bits that are operated on independently. These // are represented by `REGISTERING` and `WAKING`. // // The `REGISTERING` bit is set when a producer enters the critical section. The // `WAKING` bit is set when a consumer enters the critical section. Neither // bit being set is represented by `WAITING`. // // A thread obtains an exclusive lock on the waker cell by transitioning the // state from `WAITING` to `REGISTERING` or `WAKING`, depending on the // operation the thread wishes to perform. When this transition is made, it is // guaranteed that no other thread will access the waker cell. // // # Registering // // On a call to `register`, an attempt to transition the state from WAITING to // REGISTERING is made. On success, the caller obtains a lock on the waker cell. // // If the lock is obtained, then the thread sets the waker cell to the waker // provided as an argument. Then it attempts to transition the state back from // `REGISTERING` -> `WAITING`. // // If this transition is successful, then the registering process is complete // and the next call to `wake` will observe the waker. // // If the transition fails, then there was a concurrent call to `wake` that // was unable to access the waker cell (due to the registering thread holding the // lock). To handle this, the registering thread removes the waker it just set // from the cell and calls `wake` on it. This call to wake represents the // attempt to wake by the other thread (that set the `WAKING` bit). The // state is then transitioned from `REGISTERING | WAKING` back to `WAITING`. // This transition must succeed because, at this point, the state cannot be // transitioned by another thread. // // # Waking // // On a call to `wake`, an attempt to transition the state from `WAITING` to // `WAKING` is made. On success, the caller obtains a lock on the waker cell. // // If the lock is obtained, then the thread takes ownership of the current value // in the waker cell, and calls `wake` on it. The state is then transitioned // back to `WAITING`. This transition must succeed as, at this point, the state // cannot be transitioned by another thread. // // If the thread is unable to obtain the lock, the `WAKING` bit is still. // This is because it has either been set by the current thread but the previous // value included the `REGISTERING` bit **or** a concurrent thread is in the // `WAKING` critical section. Either way, no action must be taken. // // If the current thread is the only concurrent call to `wake` and another // thread is in the `register` critical section, when the other thread **exits** // the `register` critical section, it will observe the `WAKING` bit and // handle the waker itself. // // If another thread is in the `waker` critical section, then it will handle // waking the caller task. // // # A potential race (is safely handled). // // Imagine the following situation: // // * Thread A obtains the `wake` lock and wakes a task. // // * Before thread A releases the `wake` lock, the woken task is scheduled. // // * Thread B attempts to wake the task. In theory this should result in the // task being woken, but it cannot because thread A still holds the wake // lock. // // This case is handled by requiring users of `AtomicWaker` to call `register` // **before** attempting to observe the application state change that resulted // in the task being woken. The wakers also change the application state // before calling wake. // // Because of this, the task will do one of two things. // // 1) Observe the application state change that Thread B is waking on. In // this case, it is OK for Thread B's wake to be lost. // // 2) Call register before attempting to observe the application state. Since // Thread A still holds the `wake` lock, the call to `register` will result // in the task waking itself and get scheduled again. /// Idle state const WAITING: usize = 0; /// A new waker value is being registered with the `AtomicWaker` cell. const REGISTERING: usize = 0b01; /// The task currently registered with the `AtomicWaker` cell is being woken. const WAKING: usize = 0b10; impl AtomicWaker { /// Create an `AtomicWaker` pub(crate) fn new() -> AtomicWaker { AtomicWaker { state: AtomicUsize::new(WAITING), waker: UnsafeCell::new(None), } } /* /// Registers the current waker to be notified on calls to `wake`. pub(crate) fn register(&self, waker: Waker) { self.do_register(waker); } */ /// Registers the provided waker to be notified on calls to `wake`. /// /// The new waker will take place of any previous wakers that were registered /// by previous calls to `register`.
