问题
I guess it is sort of a code review, but here is my implementation of the producer / consumer pattern. What I would like to know is would there be a case in which the while loops in the ReceivingThread() or SendingThread() methods might stop executing. Please note that EnqueueSend(DataSendEnqeueInfo info) is called from multiple different threads and I probably can't use tasks here since I definitely have to consume commands in a separate thread.
private Thread mReceivingThread;
private Thread mSendingThread;
private Queue<DataRecievedEnqeueInfo> mReceivingThreadQueue;
private Queue<DataSendEnqeueInfo> mSendingThreadQueue;
private readonly object mReceivingQueueLock = new object();
private readonly object mSendingQueueLock = new object();
private bool mIsRunning;
EventWaitHandle mRcWaitHandle;
EventWaitHandle mSeWaitHandle;
private void ReceivingThread()
{
while (mIsRunning)
{
mRcWaitHandle.WaitOne();
DataRecievedEnqeueInfo item = null;
while (mReceivingThreadQueue.Count > 0)
{
lock (mReceivingQueueLock)
{
item = mReceivingThreadQueue.Dequeue();
}
ProcessReceivingItem(item);
}
mRcWaitHandle.Reset();
}
}
private void SendingThread()
{
while (mIsRunning)
{
mSeWaitHandle.WaitOne();
while (mSendingThreadQueue.Count > 0)
{
DataSendEnqeueInfo item = null;
lock (mSendingQueueLock)
{
item = mSendingThreadQueue.Dequeue();
}
ProcessSendingItem(item);
}
mSeWaitHandle.Reset();
}
}
internal void EnqueueRecevingData(DataRecievedEnqeueInfo info)
{
lock (mReceivingQueueLock)
{
mReceivingThreadQueue.Enqueue(info);
mRcWaitHandle.Set();
}
}
public void EnqueueSend(DataSendEnqeueInfo info)
{
lock (mSendingQueueLock)
{
mSendingThreadQueue.Enqueue(info);
mSeWaitHandle.Set();
}
}
P.S the idea here is that am using WaitHandles to put thread to sleep when the queue is empty, and signal them to start when new items are enqueued.
UPDATE I am just going to leave this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benwilli/2015/09/10/tasks-are-still-not-threads-and-async-is-not-parallel/ ,for people who might be trying to implement Producer/Consumer pattern using TPL or tasks.

Personally, for simple producer-consumer problems, I would just use BlockingCollection. There would be no need to manually code your own synchronization logic. The consuming threads will also block if there are no items present in the queue.
Here is what your code might look like if you use this class:
private BlockingCollection<DataRecievedEnqeueInfo> mReceivingThreadQueue = new BlockingCollection<DataRecievedEnqeueInfo>();
private BlockingCollection<DataSendEnqeueInfo> mSendingThreadQueue = new BlockingCollection<DataSendEnqeueInfo>();
public void Stop()
{
// No need for mIsRunning. Makes the enumerables in the GetConsumingEnumerable() calls
// below to complete.
mReceivingThreadQueue.CompleteAdding();
mSendingThreadQueue.CompleteAdding();
}
private void ReceivingThread()
{
foreach (DataRecievedEnqeueInfo item in mReceivingThreadQueue.GetConsumingEnumerable())
{
ProcessReceivingItem(item);
}
}
private void SendingThread()
{
foreach (DataSendEnqeueInfo item in mSendingThreadQueue.GetConsumingEnumerable())
{
ProcessSendingItem(item);
}
}
internal void EnqueueRecevingData(DataRecievedEnqeueInfo info)
{
// You can also use TryAdd() if there is a possibility that you
// can add items after you have stopped. Otherwise, this can throw an
// an exception after CompleteAdding() has been called.
mReceivingThreadQueue.Add(info);
}
public void EnqueueSend(DataSendEnqeueInfo info)
{
mSendingThreadQueue.Add(info);
}

Use a BlockingCollection instead of Queue, EventWaitHandle and lock objects:
public class DataInfo { }
private Thread mReceivingThread;
private Thread mSendingThread;
private BlockingCollection<DataInfo> queue;
private CancellationTokenSource receivingCts = new CancellationTokenSource();
private void ReceivingThread()
{
try
{
while (!receivingCts.IsCancellationRequested)
{
// This will block until an item is added to the queue or the cancellation token is cancelled
DataInfo item = queue.Take(receivingCts.Token);
ProcessReceivingItem(item);
}
}
catch (OperationCanceledException)
{
}
}
internal void EnqueueRecevingData(DataInfo info)
{
// When a new item is produced, just add it to the queue
queue.Add(info);
}
// To cancel the receiving thread, cancel the token
private void CancelReceivingThread()
{
receivingCts.Cancel();
}

As suggested in comments, you also can give a try to the TPL Dataflow blocks.
As far as I can see, you have two similar pipelines, for receive and send, so I assume that your class hierarchy is like this:
class EnqueueInfo { }
class DataRecievedEnqeueInfo : EnqueueInfo { }
class DataSendEnqeueInfo : EnqueueInfo { }
We can assemble an abstract class which will encapsulate the logic for creating the pipeline, and providing the interface for processing the items, like this:
abstract class EnqueueInfoProcessor<T>
where T : EnqueueInfo
{
// here we will store all the messages received before the handling
private readonly BufferBlock<T> _buffer;
// simple action block for actual handling the items
private ActionBlock<T> _action;
// cancellation token to cancel the pipeline
public EnqueueInfoProcessor(CancellationToken token)
{
_buffer = new BufferBlock<T>(new DataflowBlockOptions { CancellationToken = token });
_action = new ActionBlock<T>(item => ProcessItem(item), new ExecutionDataflowBlockOptions
{
MaxDegreeOfParallelism = Environment.ProcessorCount,
CancellationToken = token
});
// we are linking two blocks so all the items from buffer
// will flow down to action block in order they've been received
_buffer.LinkTo(_action, new DataflowLinkOptions { PropagateCompletion = true });
}
public void PostItem(T item)
{
// synchronously wait for posting to complete
_buffer.Post(item);
}
public async Task SendItemAsync(T item)
{
// asynchronously wait for message to be posted
await _buffer.SendAsync(item);
}
// abstract method to implement
protected abstract void ProcessItem(T item);
}
Note that you also can encapsulate the link between two blocks by using the Encapsulate<TInput, TOutput> method, but in that case you have to properly handle the Completion of the buffer block, if you're using it.
After this, we just need to implement two methods for receive and send handle logic:
public class SendEnqueueInfoProcessor : EnqueueInfoProcessor<DataSendEnqeueInfo>
{
SendEnqueueInfoProcessor(CancellationToken token)
: base(token)
{
}
protected override void ProcessItem(DataSendEnqeueInfo item)
{
// send logic here
}
}
public class RecievedEnqueueInfoProcessor : EnqueueInfoProcessor<DataRecievedEnqeueInfo>
{
RecievedEnqueueInfoProcessor(CancellationToken token)
: base(token)
{
}
protected override void ProcessItem(DataRecievedEnqeueInfo item)
{
// recieve logic here
}
}
You also can create more complicated pipeline with TransformBlock<DataRecievedEnqeueInfo, DataSendEnqeueInfo>, if your message flow is about a ReceiveInfo message became SendInfo.
