"""On-disk mutex protecting a resource
19
bzr on-disk objects are locked by the existence of a directory with a
20
particular name within the control directory. We use this rather than OS
21
internal locks (such as flock etc) because they can be seen across all
22
transports, including http.
24
Objects can be read if there is only physical read access; therefore
25
readers can never be required to create a lock, though they will
26
check whether a writer is using the lock. Writers can't detect
27
whether anyone else is reading from the resource as they write.
28
This works because of ordering constraints that make sure readers
29
see a consistent view of existing data.
31
Waiting for a lock must be done by polling; this can be aborted after
34
Locks must always be explicitly released, typically from a try/finally
35
block -- they are not released from a finalizer or when Python
38
Locks may fail to be released if the process is abruptly terminated
39
(machine stop, SIGKILL) or if a remote transport becomes permanently
40
disconnected. There is therefore a method to break an existing lock.
41
This should rarely be used, and generally only with user approval.
42
Locks contain some information on when the lock was taken and by who
43
which may guide in deciding whether it can safely be broken. (This is
44
similar to the messages displayed by emacs and vim.) Note that if the
45
lock holder is still alive they will get no notification that the lock
46
has been broken and will continue their work -- so it is important to be
47
sure they are actually dead.
49
A lock is represented on disk by a directory of a particular name,
50
containing an information file. Taking a lock is done by renaming a
51
temporary directory into place. We use temporary directories because
52
for all known transports and filesystems we believe that exactly one
53
attempt to claim the lock will succeed and the others will fail. (Files
54
won't do because some filesystems or transports only have
55
rename-and-overwrite, making it hard to tell who won.)
57
The desired characteristics are:
59
* Locks are not reentrant. (That is, a client that tries to take a
60
lock it already holds may deadlock or fail.)
61
* Stale locks can be guessed at by a heuristic
62
* Lost locks can be broken by any client
63
* Failed lock operations leave little or no mess
64
* Deadlocks are avoided by having a timeout always in use, clients
65
desiring indefinite waits can retry or set a silly big timeout.
67
Storage formats use the locks, and also need to consider concurrency
68
issues underneath the lock. A format may choose not to use a lock
69
at all for some operations.
71
LockDirs always operate over a Transport. The transport may be readonly, in
72
which case the lock can be queried but not acquired.
74
Locks are identified by a path name, relative to a base transport.
76
Calling code will typically want to make sure there is exactly one LockDir
77
object per actual lock on disk. This module does nothing to prevent aliasing
78
and deadlocks will likely occur if the locks are aliased.
80
In the future we may add a "freshen" method which can be called
81
by a lock holder to check that their lock has not been broken, and to
82
update the timestamp within it.
86
>>> from bzrlib.transport.memory import MemoryTransport
87
>>> # typically will be obtained from a BzrDir, Branch, etc
88
>>> t = MemoryTransport()
89
>>> l = LockDir(t, 'sample-lock')
91
>>> token = l.wait_lock()
92
>>> # do something here
95
Some classes of stale locks can be predicted by checking: the host name is the
96
same as the local host name; the user name is the same as the local user; the
97
process id no longer exists. The check on user name is not strictly necessary
98
but helps protect against colliding host names.
102
# TODO: We sometimes have the problem that our attempt to rename '1234' to
103
# 'held' fails because the transport server moves into an existing directory,
104
# rather than failing the rename. If we made the info file name the same as
105
# the locked directory name we would avoid this problem because moving into
106
# the held directory would implicitly clash. However this would not mesh with
107
# the existing locking code and needs a new format of the containing object.
