A lock convoy occurs when multiple threads of equal priority contend repeatedly for the same lock . Unlike deadlock and livelock situations, the threads in a lock convoy do progress; however, each time a thread attempts to acquire the lock and fails, it relinquishes the remainder of its scheduling quantum and forces a context switch. The overhead of repeated context switches and underutilization of scheduling quanta degrade overall performance.
Lock convoys often occur when concurrency control primitives such as critical sections serialize access to a commonly used resource, such as a memory heap or a thread pool. They can sometimes be addressed by using non-locking alternatives such as lock-free algorithms or by altering the relative priorities of the contending threads.
Example
Critical sections as implemented in Microsoft Windows operating systems provide a good example of how lock convoys can occur. In Windows, critical sections use a combination of a spinlock and a kernel synchronization object called an "event" to ensure mutual exclusion. For low-contention critical sections, the spinlock will provide mutual exclusion most of the time, falling back on the event only when a thread fails to acquire the spinlock within a certain amount of time. When contention is high, however, it is possible for many threads to fail to acquire the spinlock and enter a waiting state, all waiting on the same event.
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away. "The world is not yours for the taking" Is all you ever say. I know I'm not the best for you, But promise that you'll stay. Cause if I watch you go, You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away Cause today, you walked out of my life Cause today, your words felt like a knife I'm not living this life. Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same. These streets are filled with memories Both perfect and in pain And all I wanna do is love you But I'm the only one to blame. Cause today, you walked out of my life Cause today, your words felt like a knife I'm not living this life. But what do I know, if you're leaving All you did was stop the bleeding. But these scars will stay forever, These scars will stay forever And these words they have no meaning If we cannot find the feeling That we held on to together Try your hardest to remember Stay with me, Or watch me bleed, I need you just to breathe. Cause today, you walked out of my life (Stay with me, or watch me bleed) Cause today, your words felt like a knife (I need you just to breathe.)
