Distributed Locking #9630

To implement distributed locking in ABP Framework, you should use the IAbpDistributedLock interface, which is typically backed by Redis. Your usage of TryAcquireAsync is correct, but there are a few important points to ensure the lock works as expected:

Make sure you are not using the same Redis instance for both cache and lock with conflicting key prefixes.
The lock key must be unique per resource and user to avoid collisions.
The lock timeout (TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)) may be too short if your operation takes longer than 1 second. If the lock is released before the operation completes, concurrent requests can enter the critical section.
Always check for null on the handle to confirm the lock was acquired.

Here is a recommended pattern for distributed locking in ABP:

public class MyService : ITransientDependency
{
    private readonly IAbpDistributedLock _distributedLock;

    public MyService(IAbpDistributedLock distributedLock)
    {
        _distributedLock = distributedLock;
    }

    public async Task<IActionResult> InsertFormAnswerJson(Guid id, [FromBody] JsonElement json)
    {
        var currentUserId = _currentUser.Id;
        if (currentUserId == null)
        {
            return Unauthorized();
        }

        var lockKey = $"form-submission-lock:{currentUserId}:{id}";

        // Set a reasonable timeout for the lock
        await using var handle = await _distributedLock.TryAcquireAsync(lockKey, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
        if (handle == null)
        {
            _logger.LogInformation($"form-submission[duplicate]:{currentUserId}:{id}");
            return StatusCode(429, "Duplicate submission detected. Please wait a moment before retrying.");
        }

        try
        {
            _logger.LogInformation($"form-submission:{currentUserId}:{id}");
            await _resultAnswerService.SaveUserAnswerAsync(id, currentUserId.Value, json.GetRawText());
            return Ok();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            return StatusCode(500, "An error occurred while processing your submission.");
        }
    }
}

Key points:

Increase the lock timeout to cover the maximum expected processing time.
Do not use the distributed cache as a lock mechanism; use IAbpDistributedLock for locking.
Ensure your Redis connection is stable and not shared with other applications that may interfere with keyspace.

If you still experience issues, verify your Redis server is accessible and not dropping connections, and that your ABP Redis configuration is correct.

hi

Can you set a breakpoint to see the Type of _distributedLock? It should be MedallionAbpDistributedLock.

Please also inject the IDistributedLockProvider and check its Type. It should be RedisDistributedSynchronizationProvider

Thanks.

I have set up the breakpoints, and I confirm

the Type of _distributedLock is MedallionAbpDistributedLock.

the IDistributedLockProvider is RedisDistributedSynchronizationProvider

but the lock still doesnt work

hi

Can you try to add <PackageReference Include="Volo.Abp.DistributedLocking" Version="9.0.4" /> and typeof(AbpDistributedLockingModule)

I tested, the timeout works.

[11:34:39 INF] Executing handler method Tapp.Web.Pages.IndexModel.OnGetAsync - ModelState is Valid

[11:34:39 INF] Lock acquired successfully...
[11:34:40 WRN] Could not acquire lock...
[11:34:40 WRN] Could not acquire lock...

[11:34:42 INF] Executed handler method OnGetAsync, returned result Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.PageResult.

still not working, pls take a look:

{
    _distributedLock = distributedLock;
    _distributedLockProvider = distributedLockProvider;
    _logger = logger;
}

public string LockTestResult { get; set; }
public virtual async Task&lt;IActionResult&gt; OnGetAsync()
{
    await RunLockTestAsync();
    return Page();
}

private async Task RunLockTestAsync()
{
    var currentUserId = Guid.NewGuid(); // For testing, generate a dummy user id
    var lockKey = $"form-submission-lock:";
    for (int i = 0; i &lt; 3; i++)
    {
        await using var handle = await _distributedLock.TryAcquireAsync(lockKey, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
        if (handle != null)
        {
            await DummyCriticalSection();
            _logger.LogInformation(&quot;Lock acquired and dummy section executed.&quot;);
            //return &quot;Lock acquired and dummy section executed.&quot;;
        }
        else
        {
            _logger.LogWarning(&quot;Could not acquire lock, retrying...&quot;);
        }

    }
    _logger.LogError(&quot;Could not acquire lock after 3 attempts.&quot;);
    //return &quot;Could not acquire lock after 3 attempts.&quot;;
}

sorry, had to create 3 posts, it was too long, so if you checked the screenshot, the types are correct. but still not working,

hi

What is the logic of the RunLockTestAsync?

You can think of distributedLock as SemaphoreSlim syncSemaphore = new SemaphoreSlim(1, 1);

It just supports a distributed scenario.

Thanks.

I ended up creating my own distributed lock using redis, and it worked
