     39  * Basic thread blocking primitives for creating locks and other
     40  * synchronization classes.
     41  *
     42  * <p>This class associates, with each thread that uses it, a permit
     43  * (in the sense of the {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore
     44  * Semaphore} class). A call to {@code park} will return immediately
     45  * if the permit is available, consuming it in the process; otherwise
     46  * it <em>may</em> block.  A call to {@code unpark} makes the permit
     47  * available, if it was not already available. (Unlike with Semaphores
     48  * though, permits do not accumulate. There is at most one.)
     49  * Reliable usage requires the use of volatile (or atomic) variables
     50  * to control when to park or unpark.  Orderings of calls to these
     51  * methods are maintained with respect to volatile variable accesses,
     52  * but not necessarily non-volatile variable accesses.
     53  *
     54  * <p>Methods {@code park} and {@code unpark} provide efficient
     55  * means of blocking and unblocking threads that do not encounter the
     56  * problems that cause the deprecated methods {@code Thread.suspend}
     57  * and {@code Thread.resume} to be unusable for such purposes: Races
     58  * between one thread invoking {@code park} and another thread trying
     59  * to {@code unpark} it will preserve liveness, due to the
     60  * permit. Additionally, {@code park} will return if the caller's
     61  * thread was interrupted, and timeout versions are supported. The
     62  * {@code park} method may also return at any other time, for "no
     63  * reason", so in general must be invoked within a loop that rechecks
     64  * conditions upon return. In this sense {@code park} serves as an
     65  * optimization of a "busy wait" that does not waste as much time
     66  * spinning, but must be paired with an {@code unpark} to be
     67  * effective.
     68  *
     69  * <p>The three forms of {@code park} each also support a
     70  * {@code blocker} object parameter. This object is recorded while
     71  * the thread is blocked to permit monitoring and diagnostic tools to
     72  * identify the reasons that threads are blocked. (Such tools may
     73  * access blockers using method {@link #getBlocker(Thread)}.)
     74  * The use of these forms rather than the original forms without this
     75  * parameter is strongly encouraged. The normal argument to supply as
     76  * a {@code blocker} within a lock implementation is {@code this}.
     77  *
     78  * <p>These methods are designed to be used as tools for creating
     79  * higher-level synchronization utilities, and are not in themselves
     80  * useful for most concurrency control applications.  The {@code park}
     81  * method is designed for use only in constructions of the form:
     82  *
     83  * <pre> {@code
     84  * while (!canProceed()) {
     85  *   // ensure request to unpark is visible to other threads
     86  *   ...
     87  *   LockSupport.park(this);
     88  * }}</pre>
     89  *
     90  * where no actions by the thread publishing a request to unpark,
     91  * prior to the call to {@code park}, entail locking or blocking.
     92  * Because only one permit is associated with each thread, any
     93  * intermediary uses of {@code park}, including implicitly via class
     94  * loading, could lead to an unresponsive thread (a "lost unpark").
     95  *
     96  * <p><b>Sample Usage.</b> Here is a sketch of a first-in-first-out
     97  * non-reentrant lock class:
     98  * <pre> {@code
     99  * class FIFOMutex {
    100  *   private final AtomicBoolean locked = new AtomicBoolean(false);
    101  *   private final Queue<Thread> waiters
    102  *     = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<>();
    103  *
    104  *   public void lock() {
    105  *     boolean wasInterrupted = false;
    106  *     // publish current thread for unparkers
    107  *     waiters.add(Thread.currentThread());
    108  *
    109  *     // Block while not first in queue or cannot acquire lock
    110  *     while (waiters.peek() != Thread.currentThread() ||
    111  *            !locked.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
    112  *       LockSupport.park(this);
    113  *       // ignore interrupts while waiting
    114  *       if (Thread.interrupted())
    115  *         wasInterrupted = true;
    116  *     }
    117  *
    118  *     waiters.remove();
    119  *     // ensure correct interrupt status on return
    120  *     if (wasInterrupted)
    121  *       Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
    122  *   }
    123  *
    124  *   public void unlock() {
    125  *     locked.set(false);
    126  *     LockSupport.unpark(waiters.peek());
    127  *   }
    128  *
    129  *   static {
    130  *     // Reduce the risk of "lost unpark" due to classloading
