Golang如何实现请求限流的几种办法(小结)

在开发高并发系统时，有三把利器用来保护系统：缓存、降级和限流。那么何为限流呢？顾名思义，限流就是限制流量，就像你宽带包了1个G的流量，用完了就没了。

简单的并发控制

利用 channel 的缓冲设定，我们就可以来实现并发的限制。我们只要在执行并发的同时，往一个带有缓冲的 channel 里写入点东西（随便写啥，内容不重要）。让并发的 goroutine在执行完成后把这个 channel 里的东西给读走。这样整个并发的数量就讲控制在这个 channel的缓冲区大小上。

比如我们可以用一个 bool 类型的带缓冲 channel 作为并发限制的计数器。

chLimit := make(chan bool, 1)

然后在并发执行的地方，每创建一个新的 goroutine，都往 chLimit 里塞个东西。

for i, sleeptime := range input {
  chs[i] = make(chan string, 1)
  chLimit <- true
  go limitFunc(chLimit, chs[i], i, sleeptime, timeout)
}

这里通过 go 关键字并发执行的是新构造的函数。他在执行完后，会把 chLimit的缓冲区里给消费掉一个。

limitFunc := func(chLimit chan bool, ch chan string, task_id, sleeptime, timeout int) {
  Run(task_id, sleeptime, timeout, ch)
  <-chLimit
}

这样一来，当创建的 goroutine 数量到达 chLimit 的缓冲区上限后。主 goroutine 就挂起阻塞了，直到这些 goroutine 执行完毕，消费掉了 chLimit 缓冲区中的数据，程序才会继续创建新的 goroutine 。我们并发数量限制的目的也就达到了。

例子

package main
 
import (
  "fmt"
  "time"
)
 
func Run(task_id, sleeptime, timeout int, ch chan string) {
  ch_run := make(chan string)
  go run(task_id, sleeptime, ch_run)
  select {
  case re := <-ch_run:
    ch <- re
  case <-time.After(time.Duration(timeout) * time.Second):
    re := fmt.Sprintf("task id %d , timeout", task_id)
    ch <- re
  }
}
 
func run(task_id, sleeptime int, ch chan string) {
 
  time.Sleep(time.Duration(sleeptime) * time.Second)
  ch <- fmt.Sprintf("task id %d , sleep %d second", task_id, sleeptime)
  return
}
 
func main() {
  input := []int{3, 2, 1}
  timeout := 2
  chLimit := make(chan bool, 1)
  chs := make([]chan string, len(input))
  limitFunc := func(chLimit chan bool, ch chan string, task_id, sleeptime, timeout int) {
    Run(task_id, sleeptime, timeout, ch)
    <-chLimit
  }
  startTime := time.Now()
  fmt.Println("Multirun start")
  for i, sleeptime := range input {
    chs[i] = make(chan string, 1)
    chLimit <- true
    go limitFunc(chLimit, chs[i], i, sleeptime, timeout)
  }
 
  for _, ch := range chs {
    fmt.Println(<-ch)
  }
  endTime := time.Now()
  fmt.Printf("Multissh finished. Process time %s. Number of task is %d", endTime.Sub(startTime), len(input))
}

运行结果：

Multirun start
task id 0 , timeout
task id 1 , timeout
task id 2 , sleep 1 second
Multissh finished. Process time 5s. Number of task is 3

如果修改并发限制为2：

chLimit := make(chan bool, 2)

运行结果：

Multirun start
task id 0 , timeout
task id 1 , timeout
task id 2 , sleep 1 second
Multissh finished. Process time 3s. Number of task is 3

使用计数器实现请求限流

限流的要求是在指定的时间间隔内，server 最多只能服务指定数量的请求。实现的原理是我们启动一个计数器，每次服务请求会把计数器加一，同时到达指定的时间间隔后会把计数器清零；这个计数器的实现代码如下所示：

type RequestLimitService struct {
  Interval time.Duration
  MaxCount int
  Lock   sync.Mutex
  ReqCount int
}
 
func NewRequestLimitService(interval time.Duration, maxCnt int) *RequestLimitService {
  reqLimit := &RequestLimitService{
    Interval: interval,
    MaxCount: maxCnt,
  }
 
  go func() {
    ticker := time.NewTicker(interval)
    for {
      <-ticker.C
      reqLimit.Lock.Lock()
      fmt.Println("Reset Count...")
      reqLimit.ReqCount = 0
      reqLimit.Lock.Unlock()
    }
  }()
 
  return reqLimit
}
 
func (reqLimit *RequestLimitService) Increase() {
  reqLimit.Lock.Lock()
  defer reqLimit.Lock.Unlock()
 
  reqLimit.ReqCount += 1
}
 
func (reqLimit *RequestLimitService) IsAvailable() bool {
  reqLimit.Lock.Lock()
  defer reqLimit.Lock.Unlock()
 
  return reqLimit.ReqCount < reqLimit.MaxCount
}

在服务请求的时候, 我们会对当前计数器和阈值进行比较，只有未超过阈值时才进行服务：

var RequestLimit = NewRequestLimitService(10 * time.Second, 5)
 
func helloHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  if RequestLimit.IsAvailable() {
    RequestLimit.Increase()
    fmt.Println(RequestLimit.ReqCount)
    io.WriteString(w, "Hello world!\n")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Reach request limiting!")
    io.WriteString(w, "Reach request limit!\n")
  }
}
 
func main() {
  fmt.Println("Server Started!")
  http.HandleFunc("/", helloHandler)
  http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)
}

使用golang官方包实现httpserver频率限制

使用golang来编写httpserver时，可以使用官方已经有实现好的包：

import(
  "fmt"
  "net"
  "golang.org/x/net/netutil"
)
 
func main() {
  l, err := net.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:0")
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Fatalf("Listen: %v", err)
  }
  defer l.Close()
  l = LimitListener(l, max)
  
  http.Serve(l, http.HandlerFunc())
  
  //bla bla bla.................
}

源码[url] (https://github.com/golang/net/blob/master/netutil/listen.go )，基本思路就是为连接数计数，通过make chan来建立一个最大连接数的channel, 每次accept就+1，close时候就-1. 当到达最大连接数时，就等待空闲连接出来之后再accept。

package netutil // import "golang.org/x/net/netutil"
 
import (

)
 
// LimitListener returns a Listener that accepts at most n simultaneous
// connections from the provided Listener.
func LimitListener(l net.Listener, n int) net.Listener {
  return &limitListener{
    Listener: l,
    sem:   make(chan struct{}, n),
    done:   make(chan struct{}),
  }
}
 
type limitListener struct {
  net.Listener
  sem    chan struct{}
  closeOnce sync.Once   // ensures the done chan is only closed once
  done   chan struct{} // no values sent; closed when Close is called
}
 
// acquire acquires the limiting semaphore. Returns true if successfully
// accquired, false if the listener is closed and the semaphore is not
// acquired.
func (l *limitListener) acquire() bool {
  select {
  case <-l.done:
    return false
  case l.sem <- struct{}{}:
    return true
  }
}
func (l *limitListener) release() { <-l.sem }
 
func (l *limitListener) Accept() (net.Conn, error) {
  //如果sem满了，就会阻塞在这
  acquired := l.acquire()
  // If the semaphore isn't acquired because the listener was closed, expect
  // that this call to accept won't block, but immediately return an error.
  c, err := l.Listener.Accept()
  if err != nil {
    if acquired {
      l.release()
    }
    return nil, err
  }
  return &limitListenerConn{Conn: c, release: l.release}, nil
}
 
func (l *limitListener) Close() error {
  err := l.Listener.Close()
  l.closeOnce.Do(func() { close(l.done) })
  return err
}
 
type limitListenerConn struct {
  net.Conn
  releaseOnce sync.Once
  release   func()
}
 
func (l *limitListenerConn) Close() error {
  err := l.Conn.Close()
  //close时释放占用的sem
  l.releaseOnce.Do(l.release)
  return err
}

使用Token Bucket（令牌桶算法）实现请求限流

在开发高并发系统时有三把利器用来保护系统：缓存、降级和限流!为了保证在业务高峰期，线上系统也能保证一定的弹性和稳定性，最有效的方案就是进行服务降级了，而限流就是降级系统最常采用的方案之一。

这里为大家推荐一个开源库https://github.com/didip/tollbooth ，但是，如果您想要一些简单的、轻量级的或者只是想要学习的东西，实现自己的中间件来处理速率限制并不困难。今天我们就来聊聊如何实现自己的一个限流中间件

首先我们需要安装一个提供了 Token bucket (令牌桶算法)的依赖包，上面提到的toolbooth 的实现也是基于它实现的：

$ go get golang.org/x/time/rate

Demo代码的实现

package main
 
import (
  "net/http"
  "golang.org/x/time/rate"
)
 
var limiter = rate.NewLimiter(2, 5)
func limit(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
  return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if limiter.Allow() == false {
      http.Error(w, http.StatusText(429), http.StatusTooManyRequests)
      return
    }
    next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
  })
}
 
func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", okHandler)
  // Wrap the servemux with the limit middleware.
  http.ListenAndServe(":4000", limit(mux))
}
 
func okHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  w.Write([]byte("OK"))
}

算法描述：用户配置的平均发送速率为r，则每隔1/r秒一个令牌被加入到桶中（每秒会有r个令牌放入桶中），桶中最多可以存放b个令牌。如果令牌到达时令牌桶已经满了，那么这个令牌会被丢弃；

虽然在某些情况下使用单个全局速率限制器非常有用，但另一种常见情况是基于IP地址或API密钥等标识符为每个用户实施速率限制器。我们将使用IP地址作为标识符。简单实现代码如下：

package main
import (
  "net/http"
  "sync"
  "time"
  "golang.org/x/time/rate"
)
// Create a custom visitor struct which holds the rate limiter for each
// visitor and the last time that the visitor was seen.
type visitor struct {
  limiter *rate.Limiter
  lastSeen time.Time
}
// Change the the map to hold values of the type visitor.
var visitors = make(map[string]*visitor)
var mtx sync.Mutex
// Run a background goroutine to remove old entries from the visitors map.
func init() {
  go cleanupVisitors()
}
func addVisitor(ip string) *rate.Limiter {
  limiter := rate.NewLimiter(2, 5)
  mtx.Lock()
  // Include the current time when creating a new visitor.
  visitors[ip] = &visitor{limiter, time.Now()}
  mtx.Unlock()
  return limiter
}
func getVisitor(ip string) *rate.Limiter {
  mtx.Lock()
  v, exists := visitors[ip]
  if !exists {
    mtx.Unlock()
    return addVisitor(ip)
  }
  // Update the last seen time for the visitor.
  v.lastSeen = time.Now()
  mtx.Unlock()
  return v.limiter
}
// Every minute check the map for visitors that haven't been seen for
// more than 3 minutes and delete the entries.
func cleanupVisitors() {
  for {
    time.Sleep(time.Minute)
    mtx.Lock()
    for ip, v := range visitors {
      if time.Now().Sub(v.lastSeen) > 3*time.Minute {
        delete(visitors, ip)
      }
    }
    mtx.Unlock()
  }
}
func limit(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
  return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    limiter := getVisitor(r.RemoteAddr)
    if limiter.Allow() == false {
      http.Error(w, http.StatusText(429), http.StatusTooManyRequests)
      return
    }
    next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
  })
}
