go语言channel
设计原理
go语言中提倡：不要通过共享内存方式进行通信，而应该通过通信的方式共享内存。
在很多编程语言中，多个线程传递数据的方式一般是共享内存，为了解决线程竞争，我们需要限制同一时间能够读写这些变量的线程数量，然而这与go语言的设计并不相同。
虽然在go语言中也能使用共享内存加互斥锁进行通信，但是go语言提供了一种不同的并发模型——通信顺序进程（communicating sequential processes，CSP）。goroutine和channel分别对应CSP中的实体和传递信息的媒介
channel在运行时的内部表示是runtime.hchan，该结构体中包含了用于保护成员变量的互斥锁，从某种程度上说，channel是一个用于同步和通信的有锁队列。
数据结构
type hchan struct {
qcount uint // total data in the queue
dataqsiz uint // size of the circular queue
buf unsafe.Pointer // points to an array of dataqsiz elements
elemsize uint16
closed uint32
elemtype *_type // element type
sendx uint // send index
recvx uint // receive index
recvq waitq // list of recv waiters
sendq waitq // list of send waiters
// lock protects all fields in hchan, as well as several
// fields in sudogs blocked on this channel.
//
// Do not change another G's status while holding this lock
// (in particular, do not ready a G), as this can deadlock
// with stack shrinking.
lock mutex
}
sendq和recvq存储了当前channel由于缓冲区空间不足而阻塞的goroutine列表，这些等待队列使用双向链表runtime.waitq表示，链表中所有元素都是runtime.sudog结构
type waitq struct {
first *sudog
last *sudog
}
type sudog struct {
// The following fields are protected by the hchan.lock of the
// channel this sudog is blocking on. shrinkstack depends on
// this for sudogs involved in channel ops.
g *g
// isSelect indicates g is participating in a select, so
// g.selectDone must be CAS'd to win the wake-up race.
isSelect bool
next *sudog
prev *sudog
elem unsafe.Pointer // data element (may point to stack)
// The following fields are never accessed concurrently.
// For channels, waitlink is only accessed by g.
// For semaphores, all fields (including the ones above)
// are only accessed when holding a semaRoot lock.
acquiretime int64
releasetime int64
ticket uint32
parent *sudog // semaRoot binary tree
waitlink *sudog // g.waiting list or semaRoot
waittail *sudog // semaRoot
c *hchan // channel
}
runtime.sudog表示一个在等待列表中的goroutine，该结构中存储了两个分别指向前后runtime.sudog的指针以构成链表。
创建channel
func makechan(t *chantype, size int) *hchan {
elem := t.elem
// compiler checks this but be safe.
if elem.size >= 1<<16 {
throw("makechan: invalid channel element type")
}
if hchanSize%maxAlign != 0 || elem.align > maxAlign {
throw("makechan: bad alignment")
}
mem, overflow := math.MulUintptr(elem.size, uintptr(size))
if overflow || mem > maxAlloc-hchanSize || size < 0 {
panic(plainError("makechan: size out of range"))
}
// Hchan does not contain pointers interesting for GC when elements stored in buf do not contain pointers.
// buf points into the same allocation, elemtype is persistent.
// SudoG's are referenced from their owning thread so they can't be collected.
// TODO(dvyukov,rlh): Rethink when collector can move allocated objects.
var c *hchan
switch {
case mem == 0:
// Queue or element size is zero.
c = (*hchan)(mallocgc(hchanSize, nil, true))
// Race detector uses this location for synchronization.
c.buf = c.raceaddr()
case elem.ptrdata == 0:
// Elements do not contain pointers.
// Allocate hchan and buf in one call.
c = (*hchan)(mallocgc(hchanSize+mem, nil, true))
c.buf = add(unsafe.Pointer(c), hchanSize)
default:
// Elements contain pointers.
c = new(hchan)
c.buf = mallocgc(mem, elem, true)
}
c.elemsize = uint16(elem.size)
c.elemtype = elem
c.dataqsiz = uint(size)
if debugChan {
print("makechan: chan=", c, "; elemsize=", elem.size, "; elemalg=", elem.alg, "; dataqsiz=", size, "\n")
}
return c
}
上述代码根据channel中收发元素的类型和缓冲区大小初始化runtime.hchan和缓冲区：
- 如果当前channel中不存在缓冲区，那么只会为runtime.hchan分配一块内存空间
- 如果当前channel中存储的不是指针类型，会为当前channel和底层数组分配一块连续的内存空间
- 默认情况下会单独为runtime.hchan和缓冲区分配内存

// Fast path: check for failed non-blocking operation without acquiring the lock.
//
// After observing that the channel is not closed, we observe that the channel is
// not ready for sending. Each of these observations is a single word-sized read
// (first c.closed and second c.recvq.first or c.qcount depending on kind of channel).
// Because a closed channel cannot transition from 'ready for sending' to
// 'not ready for sending', even if the channel is closed between the two observations,
// they imply a moment between the two when the channel was both not yet closed
// and not ready for sending. We behave as if we observed the channel at that moment,
// and report that the send cannot proceed.
//
// It is okay if the reads are reordered here: if we observe that the channel is not
// ready for sending and then observe that it is not closed, that implies that the
// channel wasn't closed during the first observation.
if !block && c.closed == 0 && ((c.dataqsiz == 0 && c.recvq.first == nil) ||

直接发送
如果目标channel没有被关闭并且已经有处于读等待的goroutine，那么runtime.chansend会从接收队列recvq中取出最先陷入等待的goroutine并直接向它发送数据：
发送数据时会调用runtime.send，该函数的执行可以分为两个部分：
- 调用runtime.sendDirect将发送的数据直接复制到
x = <- c表达式中变量x所在的内存地址上； - 调用runtime.goready将等待接收数据的goroutine标记成可运行状态Grunnable,并把该goroutine放到发送方所在处理器的runnext上等待执行，该处理器在下一次调度时会立刻唤醒数据的接收方。
发送数据只是将接收方的goroutine放到了处理器的runnext中，程序并没有立刻执行该goroutine
func send(c *hchan, sg *sudog, ep unsafe.Pointer, unlockf func(), skip int) {
if raceenabled {
if c.dataqsiz == 0 {
racesync(c, sg)
} else {
// Pretend we go through the buffer, even though
// we copy directly. Note that we need to increment
// the head/tail locations only when raceenabled.
qp := chanbuf(c, c.recvx)
raceacquire(qp)
racerelease(qp)
raceacquireg(sg.g, qp)
racereleaseg(sg.g, qp)
c.recvx++
if c.recvx == c.dataqsiz {
c.recvx = 0
}
c.sendx = c.recvx // c.sendx = (c.sendx+1) % c.dataqsiz
}
}
if sg.elem != nil {
sendDirect(c.elemtype, sg, ep)
sg.elem = nil
}
gp := sg.g
unlockf()
gp.param = unsafe.Pointer(sg)
if sg.releasetime != 0 {
sg.releasetime = cputicks()
}
goready(gp, skip+1)
}
