nuclei 0.5.4

//! A token that signals a cancellation request to one or more tasks, with
//! child tokens that follow their parent.
//!
//! [`CancellationToken::cancel`] marks the token and every token derived
//! from it by [`child_token`](CancellationToken::child_token), and wakes
//! every task waiting in [`cancelled`](CancellationToken::cancelled). A child
//! can be cancelled alone; cancelling a child never cancels its parent. The
//! API is the established async cancellation-token API; nothing here needs a
//! runtime.
//!
//! ```
//! use nuclei::sync::CancellationToken;
//!
//! let parent = CancellationToken::new();
//! let child = parent.child_token();
//! assert!(!child.is_cancelled());
//! parent.cancel();
//! assert!(child.is_cancelled());
//! ```
//!
//! The tree, what `cancel` promises and the progress guarantee of each
//! operation are documented on [`CancellationToken`], where a reader of the
//! public API finds them. This module's docs keep the argument for the
//! memory ordering of the tree.
//!
//! # Memory ordering of the tree
//!
//! `child_token` and `cancel` race: a child added while the parent is being
//! cancelled must end up cancelled. The two sides use the same pattern, a
//! store followed by a `SeqCst` fence followed by a read of the other's store
//! (Dekker):
//!
//! - `child_token` publishes the child in the parent's registry, fences, and
//!   then reads the parent's flag.
//! - `cancel` sets the flag (unless an earlier call did), fences, and then
//!   iterates the registry.
//!
//! The fences are ordered one way or the other in the single `SeqCst` order.
//! If the child's fence comes first, everything before it (the registry
//! insert) is visible to the reads after the canceller's fence, so the
//! iteration, which starts after that fence, yields the child: the registry
//! guarantees that an entry present from the start of an iteration to its end
//! is yielded exactly once. If the canceller's fence comes first, the flag
//! set before it is visible to the read after the child's fence, so the child
//! sees its parent cancelled and cancels itself. Either way the child is
//! cancelled. The same argument covers the registry itself being created
//! lazily, since its publication is a store before the child's fence.
//!
//! A `cancel` that finds the flag already set stores nothing, but it fences
//! and iterates all the same, and that is what its own guarantee rests on:
//! a child whose `child_token` had completed before the call is in the
//! registry for the whole walk, so the registry yields it. A child inserted
//! while the walk runs is the race above, and one of the two sides covers
//! it: the call that stored the flag, or the child, which reads the flag
//! after its own fence. So a child being created meanwhile is cancelled once
//! both the `cancel` and its own `child_token` have returned.
//!
//! Under `--cfg loom` the registry is a loom `Mutex` around a `BTreeMap` (the
//! map in the real build is a lock-free kovan map that loom cannot
//! instrument; the ordered map keeps the model deterministic), and
//! [`Arc`]/[`Weak`] are the small models in `rc`, since loom has neither a
//! weak reference nor `Arc::into_inner`. So the loom models check the
//! protocol around the registry (the flag, the wakeups, the order of insert,
//! visit and removal, the ownership of nodes) with a registry that is
//! atomic by itself; the argument above is what covers the real registry.

/// A token which can be used to signal a cancellation request to one or more
/// tasks.
///
/// Tasks call [`cancelled`](Self::cancelled) to get a future that completes
/// when cancellation is requested, and [`cancel`](Self::cancel) requests it.
/// A clone is another handle to the same token: cancelling one cancels all.
/// A [`child_token`](Self::child_token) is cancelled with its parent, and can
/// be cancelled alone.
///
/// # The tree
///
/// A token is an `Arc` of a node. A node holds its own cancelled flag (an
/// [`Event`](crate::sync::Event), which also wakes the waiters), a *strong* handle to
/// its parent node, and, once it has a child, a registry of its children
/// that holds a *weak* handle to each of them.
///
/// - A parent whose tokens are all gone stays alive as long as any child is,
///   as a relay: cancelling a grandparent still reaches the grandchildren. A
///   node nobody can cancel or wait on any more is freed.
/// - Memory is bounded by the live tokens. A node removes itself from its
///   parent's registry when it is freed, so the registry holds only the
///   children that exist.
/// - Freeing a node walks up the chain of ancestors it was the last owner of,
///   in a loop and not by recursion, so a chain of a million nested tokens
///   can be dropped without overflowing the stack.
///
/// # Cancelling
///
/// `cancel` sets the node's flag, which wakes its waiters, and then walks the
/// whole subtree with an explicit stack: it sets the flag of every descendant
/// that is not set yet, and descends into every descendant, those some other
/// call already set included. So:
///
/// - When any `cancel` call returns, the token it was called on and every
///   descendant that existed when the call began (its `child_token` had
///   completed) are cancelled, and their waiters woken, whether this call or
///   another one set the flag first. A call on an already cancelled token
///   still walks its subtree, so it too returns with the subtree cancelled.
/// - A descendant being created at the same moment is cancelled by the time
///   both calls have returned: either the new child sees its parent
///   cancelled and cancels itself, or the walk sees the child.
/// - The price is the walk: every call visits every descendant once, so
///   concurrent or repeated calls over one tree each pay for it. Cancel a
///   large tree once.
/// - Cancellation is not atomic over the tree: while a call runs, another
///   thread can see a child cancelled and then a sibling not yet cancelled.
///
/// # Progress
///
/// - Wait-free: [`is_cancelled`](CancellationToken::is_cancelled) (one load),
///   [`Clone`], dropping a token that is not the last owner of its node,
///   [`cancelled`](CancellationToken::cancelled) and
///   [`cancelled_owned`](CancellationToken::cancelled_owned) themselves
///   (they only build the future), and a poll of the future once the token is
///   cancelled (one load).
/// - Lock-free: [`cancel`](CancellationToken::cancel) and the first poll of a
///   future of an uncancelled token. Setting a flag is a lock-free queue
///   operation, and the visit of the descendants reads each registry with
///   the map's iterator, which restarts a bucket whose walk was disturbed
///   by a concurrent update. A `cancel` never waits for another `cancel`:
///   each walks the subtree on its own. The time it takes grows with the
///   number of descendants, whether or not they were cancelled already.
/// - Neither wait-free nor lock-free:
///   [`child_token`](CancellationToken::child_token) and dropping the last
///   owner of a node. They insert into or remove from the parent's registry
///   (a CAS that retries when another thread changed the same bucket), and
///   the registry is a map that grows past 48 children: a write that meets
///   the resize in progress waits for the thread resizing it.
///
/// Waking a task calls its [`Waker`](std::task::Waker), which is the
/// executor's and is not counted.
