redis 支持的数据结构比较丰富，自制一个锁也很方便，所以极少提到其原生锁的方法。但是在单机版redis的使用时，自带锁的使用还是非常方便的。自己有车还打啥滴滴顺风车是吧，本篇主要介绍redis-py模块中原生锁lock的相关方法。

使用场景：

• 多线程资源抢占
• 关键变量锁定
• 防止重复执行代码

基本使用

lock使用

ubuntu 安装redis

apt install redis-server

安装python redis-py模块

pip install redis

普通使用

import redis

# redis 线程池
pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=6379, decode_responses=True)
r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)


# 创建一个锁
lock = r.lock('mylock')
try:
    # 获取锁
    lock.acquire()
    print('get lock')
except:
    pass
finally:
    # 释放锁
    lock.release()

因为获取了锁之后一定要释放锁，所以用try except finally的错误捕获方法保证不管在获取锁之后是否发生错误，最后都会释放锁，这是安全使用锁的一种姿势。
例如，在如下例子中，当获取锁之后主动抛出异常，此时也能保证锁的正常释放。

lock = r.lock('mylock')
try:
    lock.acquire()
    print('get lock')
    raise
except:
    pass
finally:
    print('release lock')
    lock.release()

推荐使用 with 方法

推荐的使用方法是with，在文件操作，线程锁操作时经常使用with方法。在with的语法中，获取锁和释放锁都已经自动完成，所以是一种更加简洁和高效的使用方法。

with r.lock('mylock'):
    print('get lock')

with语句在执行代码之前加锁，在退出之前释放锁。具体来说就是实现了__enter__和__exit__方法，这些都可以在最后的源码中找答案，不仅能学到lock的方法，也能加深对with语法的理解。

lock支持的参数

lock 函数的定义：

def lock(self, name, timeout=None, sleep=0.1, blocking_timeout=None,
             lock_class=None, thread_local=True):

• name: 锁的名字
• timeout: 锁的生命周期。如果不设置锁就不会过期，直到被释放。默认不设置
• sleep: 当获取锁阻塞时，尝试获取锁循环的间隔时间，默认是睡眠间隔0.1s尝试
• blocking_timeout：当获取锁阻塞时，最长的等待时间，默认一直等待
• lock_class： 强制执行指定的锁实现
• thread_local：用来表示是否将token保存在线程本地。默认是保存在本地线程的，所以一个线程只能看到自己的token，而不能被另一个线程使用。比如有如下例子：
  0s: 线程1获取到锁my-lock,设置过期时间是5s，token是abc。
  1s：线程2尝试获取锁。
  5s：线程1还没有完成，redis释放了锁。同时线程2获取了锁，并设置token是xyz
  6s: 线程1执行完成，然后调用release()释放锁。如果token不是保存在本地，那么线程1将拿到token xyz，然后释放了线程2的锁
  在某些用例中，有必要禁用线程本地存储。
  例如，如果您有代码，其中一个线程获取一个锁，并将该锁实例传递给工作线程，以便稍后释放。
  如果在这种情况下未禁用线程本地存储，那么工作线程将看不到获取锁的线程设置的令牌。
  我们的假设是，这些情况并不常见，因此默认使用线程本地存储。

通过创建lock时传入参数来控制lock的一些属性，比如获取锁的最长等待时间，持有锁的最长时间等。

设置锁的生命周期

设置锁5s，拿到锁5s之内还能释放锁

>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one', timeout=5)
>>> 
>>> lock.acquire()
True
>>> 
>>> lock.release()
>>> 
>>> 

设置锁2s，拿到锁2s之后，锁自动释放掉，再次释放就会报错。

>>> 
>>> 
>>> 
>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one', timeout=2)
>>> 
>>> lock.acquire()
True
>>> lock.release()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/ljk/.virtualenvs/work/lib/python3.7/site-packages/redis/lock.py", line 232, in release
    self.do_release(expected_token)
  File "/home/ljk/.virtualenvs/work/lib/python3.7/site-packages/redis/lock.py", line 238, in do_release
    raise LockNotOwnedError("Cannot release a lock"
redis.exceptions.LockNotOwnedError: Cannot release a lock that's no longer owned
>>> 

设置阻塞等待的最长时间

当不设置最长等待时间时，会一直等待key的释放，当设置了最长等待时间，如果在time内key没有释放，那么就直接返回False，表示获取不到。

>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one')
>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one')
>>> 
>>> 
>>> lock.acquire()
True
>>> 
>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one', blocking_timeout=3)
>>> lock.acquire()
False
>>> 

注意：需要说明的是 lock 方法针对的某一个key的获取，即获取某一个key作为锁的关键字，而不是获取某一个琐。这和下面的获取锁的方法acquire是有根本的区别的。

lock 的方法

lock拥有的方法并不是很多，所以用法不会花里胡哨。lock主要的方法如下：

• acquire:获取锁
• release:释放锁
• owned:key是否被该锁拥有，拥有返回True
• locked:锁是不是否被任何一个线程锁住，锁住返回True

acquire

acquire 就是获取锁的方法，原型如下：

def acquire(self, blocking=None, blocking_timeout=None, token=None):

最简单的使用

lock.acquire()

当锁已经被占用时再次请求，acquire默认会阻塞。

非阻塞使用

当设置了blocking=False时，表示拿不到锁时不阻塞，直接返回False

lock.acquire(blocking=False)

设置阻塞时长

当拿不到锁时可以设置阻塞的时长

lock.acquire(blocking_timeout=5)

5s之内拿不到锁的话，就会放弃尝试，返回False

owned

owned表示key ：mylock_one是不是被该锁 lock 作为关键字。被锁定返回True，没有锁定返回False

>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_one')
>>> 
>>> lock.owned()
False
>>> 
>>> lock.acquire()
True
>>> 
>>> lock.owned()
True
>>> 

locked

是用来看锁是不是被占用，占用返回True，没有被占用返回False

>>> lock = r.lock('mylock_two')
>>> 
>>> lock.locked()
False
>>> 
>>> lock.acquire()
True
>>> 
>>> lock.locked()
True
>>> 

附录 lock 的源码

其实使用redis的字符串以及过期时间也是可以自己实现一个锁的，事实上lock的实现也确实是基于字符串来实现的。对于想要阅读优秀源码或更深入理解lock特性的同学来说，该源码是一个不错的学习资料。

        """
        Create a new Lock instance named ``name`` using the Redis client
        supplied by ``redis``.

        ``timeout`` indicates a maximum life for the lock.
        By default, it will remain locked until release() is called.
        ``timeout`` can be specified as a float or integer, both representing
        the number of seconds to wait.

        ``sleep`` indicates the amount of time to sleep per loop iteration
        when the lock is in blocking mode and another client is currently
        holding the lock.

        ``blocking`` indicates whether calling ``acquire`` should block until
        the lock has been acquired or to fail immediately, causing ``acquire``
        to return False and the lock not being acquired. Defaults to True.
        Note this value can be overridden by passing a ``blocking``
        argument to ``acquire``.

        ``blocking_timeout`` indicates the maximum amount of time in seconds to
        spend trying to acquire the lock. A value of ``None`` indicates
        continue trying forever. ``blocking_timeout`` can be specified as a
        float or integer, both representing the number of seconds to wait.

        ``thread_local`` indicates whether the lock token is placed in
        thread-local storage. By default, the token is placed in thread local
        storage so that a thread only sees its token, not a token set by
        another thread. Consider the following timeline:

            time: 0, thread-1 acquires `my-lock`, with a timeout of 5 seconds.
                     thread-1 sets the token to "abc"
            time: 1, thread-2 blocks trying to acquire `my-lock` using the
                     Lock instance.
            time: 5, thread-1 has not yet completed. redis expires the lock
                     key.
            time: 5, thread-2 acquired `my-lock` now that it's available.
                     thread-2 sets the token to "xyz"
            time: 6, thread-1 finishes its work and calls release(). if the
                     token is *not* stored in thread local storage, then
                     thread-1 would see the token value as "xyz" and would be
                     able to successfully release the thread-2's lock.

        In some use cases it's necessary to disable thread local storage. For
        example, if you have code where one thread acquires a lock and passes
        that lock instance to a worker thread to release later. If thread
        local storage isn't disabled in this case, the worker thread won't see
        the token set by the thread that acquired the lock. Our assumption
        is that these cases aren't common and as such default to using
        thread local storage.
