为什么我尝试在 C# 中实现基本的自旋锁会得到这个结果？

Question

尝试：

public interface ISemaphore
{
    void Aquire();

    void Release();
}

public class SpinlockSemaphore : ISemaphore
{
    private int _cur;
    private const int B = 1;
    private const int A = 0;

    public SpinlockSemaphore()
    {
        this._cur = A;
    }

    public void Aquire()
    {
        // Locally named variables for clarity. Could obviously be
        // condensed to something like:
        // while (Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref this._cur, B, A) != A);

        var flipped = false;
        do
        {
            // Flip to B only if it is A
            var prev = Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref this._cur, B, A);
            if (prev == A)
            {
                // If here, flipped from A to B
                flipped = true;
            }
            // If here, didn't flip because it was already B
        } while (!flipped);
    }

    public void Release()
    {
        // Set to A
        this._cur = A;
    }
}

测试（驱动程序）：

var r = new Random();
ISemaphore s = new SpinlockSemaphore();
var t_base = DateTime.Now;

var tasks = Enumerable.Range(0, 26)
    .Select(i => Task.Run(() =>
    {
        var task = (char)((int)'A' + i);
        s.Aquire();
        Console.WriteLine($"I acquired the semaphore! (Task {task} at {(DateTime.Now - t_base).TotalMilliseconds} ms)");
        Thread.Sleep(r.Next() % 1000); // Simulate work
        s.Release();
        Console.WriteLine($"I released the semaphore! (Task {task} at {(DateTime.Now - t_base).TotalMilliseconds} ms)");
    }))
    .ToArray();

Task.WaitAll(tasks); // Run all tasks (concurrently)

Console.ReadKey(); // Keep Console window from closing

到目前为止，我一直无法通过调试和重新思考交织来说服自己它应该起作用来找出问题。

我尝试通过暴力破解的方法：

将 _cur 更改为修饰符 volatile
用 Thread.MemoryBarrier()s

我很想知道我忽略了什么明显的缺陷:)

即使你的自旋锁工作得很好（乍一看它是正确的，但使用这种代码很容易出错），你的驱动程序代码中仍然存在明显的竞争条件：

[...]
s.Release();
Console.WriteLine($"I released the semaphore! (Task {task} at {(DateTime.Now - t_base).TotalMilliseconds} ms)");

Console.WriteLine 没有被锁定，因此可能会发生下一个任务获取锁并打印获取消息之前释放任务打印其发布消息。

相反，您可以在 s.Release() 之前放置一条“我正在释放锁...”消息。如果您仍然看到相互交织的消息，则说明您的自旋锁已损坏。如果没有，它可能工作正常。

为什么我尝试在 C# 中实现基本的自旋锁会得到这个结果？
