As different threads take and return values, we record their IDs, // and if we detect that a thread is taking and returning "enough" on the same thread, // then we decide to "promote" the thread. When a thread is promoted, we decrease the // quota of the global pool by one, and allocate a thread-specific entry for the thread // to store it's value. Once this entry is allocated, the thread can take and return // it's value from that entry without taking any locks. Not only does this avoid // locks, but it affinitizes pooled items to a particular thread. // // There are a couple of additional things worth noting: // // It is possible for a thread that we have reserved an entry for to exit. This means // we will still have a entry allocated for it, but the pooled item stored there // will never be used. After a while, we could end up with a number of these, and // as a result we would begin to exhaust the quota of the overall pool. To mitigate this // case, we throw away the entire per-thread pool, and return all the quota back to // the global pool if we are unable to promote a thread (due to lack of space). Then // the set of active threads will be re-promoted as they take and return items. // // You may notice that the code does not immediately promote a thread, and does not // immediately throw away the entire per-thread pool when it is unable to promote a // thread. Instead, it uses counters (based on the number of calls to the pool) // and a threshold to figure out when to do these operations. In the case where the // pool to misconfigured to have too few items for the workload, this avoids constant // promoting and rebuilding of the per thread entries. // // You may also notice that we do not use interlocked methods when adjusting statistics. // Since the statistics are a heuristic as to how often something is happening, they // do not need to be perfect. // [Fx.Tag.SynchronizationObject(Blocking = false)] class SynchronizedPool where T : class { const int maxPendingEntries = 128;
