//! Strategies that determine the behaviour of locks when encountering contention. /// A trait implemented by spinning relax strategies. pub trait RelaxStrategy { /// Perform the relaxing operation during a period of contention. fn relax(); } /// A strategy that rapidly spins while informing the CPU that it should power down non-essential components via /// [`core::hint::spin_loop`]. /// /// Note that spinning is a 'dumb' strategy and most schedulers cannot correctly differentiate it from useful work, /// thereby misallocating even more CPU time to the spinning process. This is known as /// ['priority inversion'](https://matklad.github.io/2020/01/02/spinlocks-considered-harmful.html). /// /// If you see signs that priority inversion is occurring, consider switching to [`Yield`] or, even better, not using a /// spinlock at all and opting for a proper scheduler-aware lock. Remember also that different targets, operating /// systems, schedulers, and even the same scheduler with different workloads will exhibit different behaviour. Just /// because priority inversion isn't occurring in your tests does not mean that it will not occur. Use a scheduler- /// aware lock if at all possible. pub struct Spin; impl RelaxStrategy for Spin { #[inline(always)] fn relax() { // Use the deprecated spin_loop_hint() to ensure that we don't get // a higher MSRV than we need to. #[allow(deprecated)] core::sync::atomic::spin_loop_hint(); } } /// A strategy that yields the current time slice to the scheduler in favour of other threads or processes. /// /// This is generally used as a strategy for minimising power consumption and priority inversion on targets that have a /// standard library available. Note that such targets have scheduler-integrated concurrency primitives available, and /// you should generally use these instead, except in rare circumstances. #[cfg(feature = "std")] #[cfg_attr(docsrs, doc(cfg(feature = "std")))] pub struct Yield; #[cfg(feature = "std")] #[cfg_attr(docsrs, doc(cfg(feature = "std")))] impl RelaxStrategy for Yield { #[inline(always)] fn relax() { std::thread::yield_now(); } } /// A strategy that rapidly spins, without telling the CPU to do any powering down. /// /// You almost certainly do not want to use this.
