New arriving goroutines have an advantage -- they are // already running on CPU and there can be lots of them, so a woken up // waiter has good chances of losing. In such case it is queued at front // of the wait queue. If a waiter fails to acquire the mutex for more than 1ms, // it switches mutex to the starvation mode. // // In starvation mode ownership of the mutex is directly handed off from // the unlocking goroutine to the waiter at the front of the queue. // New arriving goroutines don't try to acquire the mutex even if it appears // to be unlocked, and don't try to spin. Instead they queue themselves at // the tail of the wait queue. // // If a waiter receives ownership of the mutex and sees that either // (1) it is the last waiter in the queue, or (2) it waited for less than 1 ms, // it switches mutex back to normal operation mode. // // Normal mode has considerably better performance as a goroutine can acquire // a mutex several times in a row even if there are blocked waiters. // Starvation mode is important to prevent pathological cases of tail latency. starvationThresholdNs = 1e6 ) // Lock locks m. // // See package [sync.Mutex] documentation. func (m *Mutex) Lock() { // Fast path: grab unlocked mutex. if atomic.CompareAndSwapInt32(&m.state, 0, mutexLocked) { if race.Enabled { race.Acquire(unsafe.Pointer(m)) } return } // Slow path (outlined so that the fast path can be inlined) m.lockSlow() } // TryLock tries to lock m and reports whether it succeeded. // // See package [sync.Mutex] documentation. func (m *Mutex) TryLock() bool { old := m.state if old&(mutexLocked|mutexStarving) != 0 { return false } // There may be a goroutine waiting for the mutex, but we are // running now and can try to grab the mutex before that // goroutine wakes up. if !atomic.CompareAndSwapInt32(&m.state, old, old|mutexLocked) { return false } if race.Enabled { race.Acquire(unsafe.Pointer(m)) } return true } func (m *Mutex) lockSlow() { var waitStartTime int64 starving := false awoke := false iter := 0 old := m.state for { // Don't spin in starvation mode, ownership is handed off to waiters // so we won't be able to acquire the mutex anyway. if old&(mutexLocked|mutexStarving) == mutexLocked && runtime_canSpin(iter) { // Active spinning makes sense. // Try to set mutexWoken flag to inform Unlock // to not wake other blocked goroutines. if !awoke && old&mutexWoken == 0 && old>>mutexWaiterShift != 0 && atomic.CompareAndSwapInt32(&m.state, old, old|mutexWoken) { awoke = true } runtime_doSpin() iter++ old = m.state continue } new := old // Don't try to acquire starving mutex, new arriving goroutines must queue. if old&mutexStarving == 0 { new |= mutexLocked } if old&(mutexLocked|mutexStarving) != 0 { new += 1 << mutexWaiterShift } // The current goroutine switches mutex to starvation mode. // But if the mutex is currently unlocked, don't do the switch. // Unlock expects that starving mutex has waiters, which will not // be true in this case. if starving && old&mutexLocked != 0 { new |= mutexStarving } if awoke { // The goroutine has been woken from sleep, // so we need to reset the flag in either case. if new&mutexWoken == 0 { throw("sync: inconsistent mutex state") } new &^= mutexWoken } if atomic.CompareAndSwapInt32(&m.state, old, new) { if old&(mutexLocked|mutexStarving) == 0 { break // locked the mutex with CAS } // If we were already waiting before, queue at the front of the queue. queueLifo := waitStartTime != 0 if waitStartTime == 0 { waitStartTime = runtime_nanotime() } runtime_SemacquireMutex(&m.sema, queueLifo, 2) starving = starving || runtime_nanotime()-waitStartTime > starvationThresholdNs old = m.state if old&mutexStarving != 0 { // If this goroutine was woken and mutex is in starvation mode, // ownership was handed off to us but mutex is in somewhat // inconsistent state: mutexLocked is not set and we are still // accounted as waiter.
