在这篇文章中,我们来聊一下线程的生命周期。

概述

线程是操作系统中的一个概念,在Java中,它是实现并发程序的主要手段。

Java中的线程,本质上就是操作系统中的线程。

操作系统中的线程有“生老病死”,专业说法就是生命周期,虽然不同的开发语言对于操作系统的线程做了不同的封装,但是对于线程生命周期来说,基本上是大同小异的。

我们在学习线程的生命周期时,只要能理解生命周期中各个节点的状态转换机制就可以了。

操作系统中的线程生命周期

操作系统中的线程有5种状态,可以用下面的图进行描述,该图也被称为五态模型。
Java并发编程实战(5)- 线程生命周期-LMLPHP

线程的五种状态描述如下:

  • 初始状态。这是指线程已经被创建,但是还不允许分配CPU执行。这个状态属于编程语言特有的,也就是说,这里所谓的被创建,仅仅是在编程语言层面上被创建,在操作系统层面上,线程是还没有被创建的。
  • 可运行状态。这是指线程可以分配CPU执行。在这个状态下,操作系统已经创建了线程,正在等待分配CPU。
  • 运行状态。这是指CPU有空闲,操作系统将其分配给一个处于可运行状态的线程,被分配到CPU的线程,就可以正常执行线程中的逻辑了。
  • 休眠状态。 这是指处于运行状态的线程调用了一个阻塞API或者等待某个事件。在休眠状态下,线程会释放CPU使用权,处于休眠状态的线程,是永远没有机会获得CPU使用权的。 当等待的事件出现了,线程就会从休眠状态转换到可运行状态,等待CPU重新分配。
  • 终止状态。这是指线程执行完成或者抛出异常。终止状态的线程不会切换到其他任何状态,这也意味着进行终止状态的线程的生命周期结束了。

Java中的线程生命周期

Java中的线程生命周期,基于操作系统的线程生命周期进行了定制,它包括六种状态:

  • NEW(初始化状态)
  • RUNNABLE(可运行/运行状态)
  • BLOCKED(阻塞状态)
  • WAITING(无时限等待)
  • TIMED_WAITING(有时限等待)
  • TERMINATED(终止状态)

Java中的线程生命周期可以用下图来描述。
Java并发编程实战(5)- 线程生命周期-LMLPHP

和操作系统线程生命周期相比,Java中的线程生命周期主要有以下2个改动:

  • Java线程中对可运行状态和运行状态进行了合并。
  • Java线程中的休眠状态被细化为:阻塞状态、无时限等待和有时限等待。

Java线程状态转换

Java线程状态中的阻塞、无时限等待和有时限等待可以理解为线程导致休眠状态的三种原因,我们来看一下这些状态之间是怎么转换的。

运行状态和阻塞状态之间的转换

在Java中,只有一种情况会出现这种状态转换:线程等待synchronized隐式锁。synchronized修饰的方法、代码块同一时刻只允许一个线程执行,其他线程只能等待,在这种情况下,等待的线程会从运行状态转换到阻塞状态,而当等待的线程获得synchronized锁后,状态会从阻塞状态转换为运行状态。

线程调用阻塞式API时,会切换到阻塞状态吗?

我们平时说的Java调用阻塞式API时,线程会被阻塞,我们指的是操作系统线程状态,而不是Java线程状态,这一点需要分清楚。

运行状态和无时限等待状态的切换

以下三种情况会触发运行状态和无时限等待状态的切换。

  • 获得synchronized锁的线程,调用了无参数的Object.wait()方法。
  • 调用无参数的Thread.join()方法。
  • 调用LockSupport.park()方法。

运行状态和有时限等待状态的切换

有时限等待和无时限等待的主要区别,在于触发条件中添加了超时参数。

以下五种情况会触发运行状态和有时限等待状态的切换。

  • 调用带超时参数的Thread.sleep(long millis)方法。
  • 获得synchronized锁的线程,调用带超时参数的Object.wait(long timeout)方法。
  • 调用带超时参数的Thread.join(long millis)方法。
  • 调用带超时参数的LocakSupport.parkNanos(Object blocker, long deadline)方法。
  • 调用带超时参数的LockSupport.parkUntil(long deadlinie)方法。

初始化状态和运行状态的切换

Java刚创建出来的Thread对象就是初始化状态,有两种可以创建线程的方法:

  • 继承Thread类
  • 实现Runnable接口

初始化状态的线程,并不会被操作系统调度,因此不会被执行。在调用线程对象的start()方法后,线程就会从初始化状态切换到运行状态。

运行状态和终止状态的切换

线程在以下两种情况时会自动切换到终止状态:

  • 正常执行完run()方法
  • run()方法中抛出异常

手动终止线程

我们有2种方法终止线程:

  • 调用stop()方法
  • 调用interrupt()方法

我们不推荐使用stop()方法,在JDK中,它已经被标记为Deprecated。我们推荐使用interrupt()方法来终止线程。

stop()方法和interrupt()方法的区别:

  • stop()方法会直接杀死线程,不给线程喘息的机会,如果此时线程持有锁,那么这个锁不会被释放,其他线程也没有办法获取这个锁。
  • interrupt()方法只是通知该线程,线程有机会执行一些后续操作,同时也可以无视这个通知。

被调用了interrupt()方法的线程,有以下2种方式接收通知:

  • 异常,处于有时限等待或者无时限等待状态的线程, 在被调用interrupt()方法后,线程会返回运行状态,但同时会抛出InterruptedException。
  • 主动监测,线程可以调用isInterrupted()方法,来判断自己是不是被中断了。

使用jstack查看多线程状态

在查看了Java线程生命周期中的状态以及状态之间的切换后,我们来使用jstack来查看一下真实运行的线程的状态。

我们以一个死锁的程序为例,来说明如何使用jstack。

我们在解释互斥锁和死锁的时候,写了一些死锁示例,代码如下。

public class BankTransferDemo {

	public void transfer(BankAccount sourceAccount, BankAccount targetAccount, double amount) {
		synchronized(sourceAccount) {
			synchronized(targetAccount) {
				if (sourceAccount.getBalance() > amount) {
					System.out.println("Start transfer.");
					System.out.println(String.format("Before transfer, source balance:%s, target balance:%s", sourceAccount.getBalance(), targetAccount.getBalance()));
					sourceAccount.setBalance(sourceAccount.getBalance() - amount);
					targetAccount.setBalance(targetAccount.getBalance() + amount);
					System.out.println(String.format("After transfer, source balance:%s, target balance:%s", sourceAccount.getBalance(), targetAccount.getBalance()));
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
		BankAccount sourceAccount = new BankAccount();
		sourceAccount.setId(1);
		sourceAccount.setBalance(50000);

		BankAccount targetAccount = new BankAccount();
		targetAccount.setId(2);
		targetAccount.setBalance(20000);

		BankTransferDemo obj = new BankTransferDemo();

		Thread t1 = new Thread(() ->{
			for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
				obj.transfer(sourceAccount, targetAccount, 1);
			}
		});

		Thread t2 = new Thread(() ->{
			for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
				obj.transfer(targetAccount, sourceAccount, 1);
			}
		});

		t1.start();
		t2.start();

		t1.join();
		t2.join();

		System.out.println("Finished.");
	}

上述代码在运行过程中,因为资源争抢的原因,最后会进入死锁状态,下面我们来看一下如何使用jstack来获取具体信息。

(base) ➜  ~ jstack -l 63044

请注意上述的63044是运行的pid,运行程序多次产生的pid是不一样的。

jstack的返回结果如下。

从上面的描述中,我们可以清楚的看到2个线程在互相等待对方持有的锁对象。

jstack是一个非常实用的工具,我会在后面找机会详细的说明如何使用它和其他相关工具。
