Netty : writeAndFlush的线程安全及并发问题

使用Netty编程时,我们经常会从用户线程,而不是Netty线程池发起write操作,因为我们不能在netty的事件回调中做大量耗时操作。那么问题来了 –

1, writeAndFlush是线程安全的吗?

2, 是否使用了锁,导致并发性能下降呢

我们来看代码 – 在DefaultChannelHandlerContext中

@Override
    public ChannelFuture writeAndFlush(Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) {
        DefaultChannelHandlerContext next;
        next = findContextOutbound(MASK_WRITE);
        ReferenceCountUtil.touch(msg, next);
        next.invoker.invokeWrite(next, msg, promise);
        next = findContextOutbound(MASK_FLUSH);
        next.invoker.invokeFlush(next);
        return promise;
}

在DefaultChannelHandlerInvoker.java中

@Override
     public void invokeWrite(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg, ChannelPromise promise) {
         if (msg == null) {
             throw new NullPointerException("msg");
         }
         if (!validatePromise(ctx, promise, true)) {
             // promise cancelled
             ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
             return;
         }

         if (executor.inEventLoop()) {
             invokeWriteNow(ctx, msg, promise);
         } else {
             AbstractChannel channel = (AbstractChannel) ctx.channel();
             int size = channel.estimatorHandle().size(msg);
             if (size > 0) {
                 ChannelOutboundBuffer buffer = channel.unsafe().outboundBuffer();
                 // Check for null as it may be set to null if the channel is closed already
                 if (buffer != null) {
                     buffer.incrementPendingOutboundBytes(size);
                 }
             }
             safeExecuteOutbound(WriteTask.newInstance(ctx, msg, size, promise), promise, msg);
         }
     }
private void safeExecuteOutbound(Runnable task, ChannelPromise promise, Object msg) {
         try {
             executor.execute(task);
         } catch (Throwable cause) {
             try {
                 promise.setFailure(cause);
             } finally {
                 ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
             }
         }
     }

可见,writeAndFlush如果在Netty线程池内执行,则是直接write;否则,将作为一个task插入到Netty线程池执行。

《Netty权威指南》写到
通过调用NioEventLoop的execute(Runnable task)方法实现,Netty有很多系统Task,创建他们的主要原因是:当I/O线程和用户线程同时操作网络资源时,为了防止并发操作导致的锁竞争,将用户线程的操作封装成Task放入消息队列中,由I/O线程负责执行,这样就实现了局部无锁化。
