Expand description
All the resources for a particular backend in a Global
.
To obtain global
’s Hub
for some HalApi
backend type A
,
call A::hub(global)
.
Locking
Each field in Hub
is a Registry
holding all the values of a
particular type of resource, all protected by a single RwLock
.
So for example, to access any Buffer
, you must acquire a read
lock on the Hub
s entire buffers
registry. The lock guard
gives you access to the Registry
’s Storage
, which you can
then index with the buffer’s id. (Yes, this design causes
contention; see #2272.)
But most wgpu
operations require access to several different
kinds of resource, so you often need to hold locks on several
different fields of your Hub
simultaneously. To avoid
deadlock, there is an ordering imposed on the fields, and you may
only acquire new locks on fields that come after all those you
are already holding locks on, in this ordering. (The ordering is
described in the documentation for the Access
trait.)
We use Rust’s type system to statically check that wgpu_core
can
only ever acquire locks in the correct order:
-
A value of type
Token<T>
represents proof that the owner only holds locks on theHub
fields holding resources of typeT
or earlier in the lock ordering. A special value of typeToken<Root>
, obtained by calling [Token::root
], represents proof that noHub
field locks are held. -
To lock the
Hub
field holding resources of typeT
, you must call itsread
orwrite
methods. These require you to pass in a&mut Token<A>
, for someA
that implementsAccess<T>
. This implementation exists only ifT
followsA
in the field ordering, which statically ensures that you are indeed allowed to lock this newHub
field. -
The locking methods return both an
RwLock
guard that you can use to access the field’s resources, and a newToken<T>
value. These both borrow from the lifetime of yourToken<A>
, so since you passed that by mutable reference, you cannot access it again until you drop the new token and lock guard.
Because a thread only ever has access to the Token<T>
for the
last resource type T
it holds a lock for, and the Access
trait
implementations only permit acquiring locks for types U
that
follow T
in the lock ordering, it is statically impossible for a
program to violate the locking order.
This does assume that threads cannot call Token<Root>
when they
already hold locks (dynamically enforced in debug builds) and that
threads cannot send their Token
s to other threads (enforced by
making Token
neither Send
nor Sync
).
