semaphores / reader/writer 1

Changelog Changes made in this version not seen in fjrst lecture: 1 October 2019: fjx mixup of ‘result’ and ‘value’ in semaphore exercise return 3 October 2019: correct reader-priority rwlock code to include readers == 0 check before signaling in ReadUnlock 1

last time monitors = mutex + condition variable mutex protects shared data important: locked mutex = whether thread should wait wont’ change condition variable (CV): abstracts queue of waiting threads CV wait: unlock a mutex + start waiting on queue done simultaneously so thread doesn’t miss its signal to wake up spurious wakeups — need to double-check condition CV broadcast: remove all threads from CV queue, have them reacquire lock CV signal: remove one threads from CV queue, have it reacquire lock no guarantee that it reacquire lock fjrst (except rare Hoare-style monitors) so thread needs to double-check condition even with no spurious wakeups 2

monitor exercise (1) pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); } return item; pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); item = buffer.dequeue(); } pthread_cond_wait(&data_ready, &lock); while (buffer.empty()) { pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Consume() { } pthread_cond_signal(&data_ready); suppose we want producer/consumer, but… buffer.enqueue(item); pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Produce(item) { UnboundedQueue buffer; pthread_cond_t data_ready; pthread_mutex_t lock; what should we change below? with each getting one item and don’t want two calls to ConsumeTwo() to wait… but change to ConsumeTwo() which returns a pair of values 3

monitor exercise: solution (1) ConsumeTwo() { } return Combine(item1, item2); pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); item1 = buffer.dequeue(); item2 = buffer.dequeue(); while (buffer.size() < 2) { pthread_cond_wait(&data_ready, &lock); } pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); } (one of many possible solutions) pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); if (buffer.size() > 1) { pthread_cond_signal(&data_ready); } buffer.enqueue(item); pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Produce() { Assuming ConsumeTwo replaces Consume: 4

monitor exercise: solution 2 item = buffer.dequeue(); } return Combine(item1, item2); pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); item1 = buffer.dequeue(); item2 = buffer.dequeue(); while (buffer.size() < 2) { pthread_cond_wait(&two_ready, &lock); } pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); ConsumeTwo() { } return item; pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); while (buffer.size() < 1) { pthread_cond_wait(&one_ready, &lock); } (one of many possible solutions) pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Consume() { } pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); if (buffer.size() > 1) { pthread_cond_signal(&two_ready); } pthread_cond_signal(&one_ready); buffer.enqueue(item); pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Produce() { Assuming ConsumeTwo is in addition to Consume (using two CVs): 5

monitor exercise: slow solution item = buffer.dequeue(); } return Combine(item1, item2); pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); item1 = buffer.dequeue(); item2 = buffer.dequeue(); while (buffer.size() < 2) { pthread_cond_wait(&data_ready, &lock); } pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); ConsumeTwo() { } return item; pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); while (buffer.size() < 1) { pthread_cond_wait(&data_ready, &lock); } (one of many possible solutions) pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Consume() { } pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock); pthread_cond_broadcast(&data_ready); // broadcast and not signal, b/c we might wakeup only ConsumeTwo() otherwise buffer.enqueue(item); pthread_mutex_lock(&lock); Produce() { Assuming ConsumeTwo is in addition to Consume (using one CV): 6

monitor exercise (2) suppose we want to implement a one-use barrier } _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ ++number_reached; }; ___________________ int number_reached; // initially 0 // initially total # of threads int total_threads; pthread_mutex_t lock; struct BarrierInfo { what goes in the blanks? 7 void BarrierWait(BarrierInfo *barrier) { pthread_mutex_lock(&barrier − >lock); pthread_mutex_unlock(&barrier − >lock);

mutex/cond var init/destroy pthread_mutex_t mutex; pthread_cond_t cv; pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL); pthread_cond_init(&cv, NULL); // --OR-- pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER; pthread_cond_t cv = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER; // and when done: ... pthread_cond_destroy(&cv); pthread_mutex_destroy(&mutex); 8

generalizing locks: semaphores semaphore has a non-negative integer value and two operations: P() or down or wait : then decerement by 1 V() or up or signal or post : increment semaphore by 1 (waking up thread if needed) P, V from Dutch: proberen (test), verhogen (increment) 9 wait for semaphore to become positive ( > 0 ),

semaphores are kinda integers semaphore like an integer, but… cannot read/write directly down/up operaion only way to access (typically) exception: initialization never negative — wait instead down operation wants to make negative? thread waits 10

reserving books suppose tracking copies of library book… Semaphore free_copies = Semaphore(3); void ReserveBook() { // wait for copy to be free free_copies.down(); } void ReturnBook() { free_copies.up(); // ... then wakekup waiting thread } 11 ... // ... then take reserved copy ... // return reserved copy

implementing mutexes with semaphores struct Mutex { } } } 13 Semaphore s; /* with inital value 1 */ /* value = 1 --> mutex if free */ /* value = 0 --> mutex is busy */ MutexLock(Mutex *m) { m − >s.down(); MutexUnlock(Mutex *m) { m − >s.up();
