Data loader. Combines a dataset and a sampler, and provides an iterable over
the given dataset.
The :class:`~torch.utils.data.DataLoader` supports both map-style and
iterable-style datasets with single- or multi-process loading, customizing
loading order and optional automatic batching (collation) and memory pinning.
See :py:mod:`torch.utils.data` documentation page for more details.
Arguments:
dataset (Dataset): dataset from which to load the data.
batch_size (int, optional): how many samples per batch to load
(default: ``1``).
shuffle (bool, optional): set to ``True`` to have the data reshuffled
at every epoch (default: ``False``).
sampler (Sampler, optional): defines the strategy to draw samples from
the dataset. If specified, :attr:`shuffle` must be ``False``.
batch_sampler (Sampler, optional): like :attr:`sampler`, but returns a batch of
indices at a time. Mutually exclusive with :attr:`batch_size`,
:attr:`shuffle`, :attr:`sampler`, and :attr:`drop_last`.
num_workers (int, optional): how many subprocesses to use for data
loading. ``0`` means that the data will be loaded in the main process.
(default: ``0``)
collate_fn (callable, optional): merges a list of samples to form a
mini-batch of Tensor(s). Used when using batched loading from a
map-style dataset.
pin_memory (bool, optional): If ``True``, the data loader will copy Tensors
into CUDA pinned memory before returning them. If your data elements
are a custom type, or your :attr:`collate_fn` returns a batch that is a custom type,
see the example below.
drop_last (bool, optional): set to ``True`` to drop the last incomplete batch,
if the dataset size is not divisible by the batch size. If ``False`` and
the size of dataset is not divisible by the batch size, then the last batch
will be smaller. (default: ``False``)
timeout (numeric, optional): if positive, the timeout value for collecting a batch
from workers. Should always be non-negative. (default: ``0``)
worker_init_fn (callable, optional): If not ``None``, this will be called on each
worker subprocess with the worker id (an int in ``[0, num_workers - 1]``) as
input, after seeding and before data loading. (default: ``None``)
.. warning:: If the ``spawn`` start method is used, :attr:`worker_init_fn`
cannot be an unpicklable object, e.g., a lambda function. See
:ref:`multiprocessing-best-practices` on more details related
to multiprocessing in PyTorch.
.. note:: ``len(dataloader)`` heuristic is based on the length of the sampler used.
When :attr:`dataset` is an :class:`~torch.utils.data.IterableDataset`,
``len(dataset)`` (if implemented) is returned instead, regardless
of multi-process loading configurations, because PyTorch trust
user :attr:`dataset` code in correctly handling multi-process
loading to avoid duplicate data. See `Dataset Types`_ for more
details on these two types of datasets and how
:class:`~torch.utils.data.IterableDataset` interacts with `Multi-process data loading`_.

# generator-style dataset one day...).
#
# For `sampler`, we always create a dummy sampler. This is an
# infinite sampler even when the dataset may have an implemented
# finite `__len__` because in multi-process data loading, naive
# settings will return duplicated data (which may be desired), and
# thus using a sampler with length matching that of dataset will
# cause data lost (you may have duplicates of the first couple
# batches, but never see anything afterwards). Therefore,
# `Iterabledataset` always uses an infinite sampler, an instance of
# `_InfiniteConstantSampler` defined above.
#
# A custom `batch_sampler` essentially only controls the batch size.
# However, it is unclear how useful it would be since an iterable-style
# dataset can handle that within itself. Moreover, it is pointless
# in multi-process data loading as the assignment order of batches
# to workers is an implementation detail so users can not control
# how to batchify each worker's iterable. Thus, we disable this
# option. If this turns out to be useful in future, we can re-enable
# this, and support custom samplers that specify the assignments to
# specific workers.

# NOTE [ Data Loader Multiprocessing Shutdown Logic ]
#
# Preliminary:
#
# Our data model looks like this (queues are indicated with curly brackets):
#
# main process ||
# | ||
# {index_queue} ||
# | ||
# worker processes || DATA
# | ||
# {worker_result_queue} || FLOW
# | ||
# pin_memory_thread of main process || DIRECTION
# | ||
# {data_queue} ||
# | ||
# data output \/
#
# P.S. `worker_result_queue` and `pin_memory_thread` part may be omitted if
# `pin_memory=False`.
#
#
# Terminating multiprocessing logic requires very careful design. In
# particular, we need to make sure that
#
# 1. The iterator gracefully exits the workers when its last reference is
# gone or it is depleted.
#
# In this case, the workers should be gracefully exited because the
# main process may still need to continue to run, and we want cleaning
# up code in the workers to be executed (e.g., releasing GPU memory).
# Naturally, we implement the shutdown logic in `__del__` of
# DataLoaderIterator.
#
# We delay the discussion on the logic in this case until later.
#
# 2. The iterator exits the workers when the loader process and/or worker
# processes exits normally or with error.
#
# We set all workers and `pin_memory_thread` to have `daemon=True`.
#
# You may ask, why can't we make the workers non-daemonic, and
# gracefully exit using the same logic as we have in `__del__` when the
# iterator gets deleted (see 1 above)?
#
# First of all, `__del__` is **not** guaranteed to be called when
# interpreter exits. Even if it is called, by the time it executes,
# many Python core library resources may alreay be freed, and even
# simple things like acquiring an internal lock of a queue may hang.
# Therefore, in this case, we actually need to prevent `__del__` from
# being executed, and rely on the automatic termination of daemonic
# children. Thus, we register an `atexit` hook that sets a global flag
# `_utils.python_exit_status`. Since `atexit` hooks are executed in the
# reverse order of registration, we are guaranteed that this flag is
# set before library resources we use are freed. (Hooks freeing those
# resources are registered at importing the Python core libraries at
# the top of this file.) So in `__del__`, we check if
# `_utils.python_exit_status` is set or `None` (freed), and perform
# no-op if so.
#
# Another problem with `__del__` is also related to the library cleanup
# calls. When a process ends, it shuts the all its daemonic children
# down with a SIGTERM (instead of joining them without a timeout).
# Simiarly for threads, but by a different mechanism. This fact,
# together with a few implementation details of multiprocessing, forces
# us to make workers daemonic. All of our problems arise when a
# DataLoader is used in a subprocess, and are caused by multiprocessing
# code which looks more or less like this:
#
# try:
# your_function_using_a_dataloader()
# finally:
# multiprocessing.util._exit_function()
#
# The joining/termination mentioned above happens inside
# `_exit_function()`. Now, if `your_function_using_a_dataloader()`
# throws, the stack trace stored in the exception will prevent the
# frame which uses `DataLoaderIter` to be freed. If the frame has any
# reference to the `DataLoaderIter` (e.g., in a method of the iter),
# its `__del__`, which starts the shutdown procedure, will not be
# called. That, in turn, means that workers aren't notified. Attempting
# to join in `_exit_function` will then result in a hang.
#
# For context, `_exit_function` is also registered as an `atexit` call.
# So it is unclear to me (@ssnl) why this is needed in a finally block.
# The code dates back to 2008 and there is no comment on the original
# PEP 371 or patch https://bugs.python.org/issue3050 (containing both
# the finally block and the `atexit` registration) that explains this.
#
# Another choice is to just shutdown workers with logic in 1 above
# whenever we see an error in `next`. This isn't ideal because
# a. It prevents users from using try-catch to resume data loading.
# b. It doesn't prevent hanging if users have references to the
# iterator.
#
# 3. All processes exit if any of them die unexpectedly by fatal signals.
#
# As shown above, the workers are set as daemonic children of the main
# process. However, automatic cleaning-up of such child processes only
# happens if the parent process exits gracefully (e.g., not via fatal
# signals like SIGKILL). So we must ensure that each process will exit
# even the process that should send/receive data to/from it were
# killed, i.e.,
#
# a. A process won't hang when getting from a queue.
#
# Even with carefully designed data dependencies (i.e., a `put()`
# always corresponding to a `get()`), hanging on `get()` can still
# happen when data in queue is corrupted (e.g., due to
# `cancel_join_thread` or unexpected exit).
#
# For child exit, we set a timeout whenever we try to get data
# from `data_queue`, and check the workers' status on each timeout
# and error.
# See `_DataLoaderiter._get_batch()` and
# `_DataLoaderiter._try_get_data()` for details.
#
# Additionally, for child exit on non-Windows platforms, we also
# register a SIGCHLD handler (which is supported on Windows) on
# the main process, which checks if any of the workers fail in the
# (Python) handler. This is more efficient and faster in detecting
# worker failures, compared to only using the above mechanism.
# See `DataLoader.cpp` and `_utils/signal_handling.py` for details.
#
# For `.get()` calls where the sender(s) is not the workers, we
# guard them with timeouts, and check the status of the sender
# when timeout happens:
# + in the workers, the `_utils.worker.ManagerWatchdog` class
# checks the status of the main process.
# + if `pin_memory=True`, when getting from `pin_memory_thread`,
# check `pin_memory_thread` status periodically until `.get()`
# returns or see that `pin_memory_thread` died.
#
# b. A process won't hang when putting into a queue;
#
# We use `mp.Queue` which has a separate background thread to put
# objects from an unbounded buffer array. The background thread is
# daemonic and usually automatically joined when the process
# exits.
#
# However, in case that the receiver has ended abruptly while
# reading from the pipe, the join will hang forever. Therefore,
# for both `worker_result_queue` (worker -> main process/pin_memory_thread)
# and each `index_queue` (main process -> worker), we use
# `q.cancel_join_thread()` in sender process before any `q.put` to
# prevent this automatic join.
#
# Moreover, having all queues called `cancel_join_thread` makes
# implementing graceful shutdown logic in `__del__` much easier.
# It won't need to get from any queue, which would also need to be
# guarded by periodic status checks.
#
# Nonetheless, `cancel_join_thread` must only be called when the
# queue is **not** going to be read from or write into by another
# process, because it may hold onto a lock or leave corrupted data
# in the queue, leading other readers/writers to hang.
#
# `pin_memory_thread`'s `data_queue` is a `queue.Queue` that does
# a blocking `put` if the queue is full. So there is no above
# problem, but we do need to wrap the `put` in a loop that breaks
# not only upon success, but also when the main process stops
# reading, i.e., is shutting down.
#
#
# Now let's get back to 1:
# how we gracefully exit the workers when the last reference to the
# iterator is gone.
#
# To achieve this, we implement the following logic along with the design
# choices mentioned above:
#
# `workers_done_event`:
# A `multiprocessing.Event` shared among the main process and all worker
# processes. This is used to signal the workers that the iterator is
# shutting down. After it is set, they will not send processed data to
# queues anymore, and only wait for the final `None` before exiting.
# `done_event` isn't strictly needed. I.e., we can just check for `None`
# from the input queue, but it allows us to skip wasting resources
# processing data if we are already shutting down.
#
# `pin_memory_thread_done_event`:
# A `threading.Event` for a similar purpose to that of
# `workers_done_event`, but is for the `pin_memory_thread`. The reason
# that separate events are needed is that `pin_memory_thread` reads from
# the output queue of the workers. But the workers, upon seeing that
# `workers_done_event` is set, only wants to see the final `None`, and is
# not required to flush all data in the output queue (e.g., it may call
# `cancel_join_thread` on that queue if its `IterableDataset` iterator
# happens to exhaust coincidentally, which is out of the control of the
# main process). Thus, since we will exit `pin_memory_thread` before the
# workers (see below), two separete events are used.
#
# NOTE: In short, the protocol is that the main process will set these
# `done_event`s and then the corresponding processes/threads a `None`,
# and that they may exit at any time after receiving the `None`.
#
# NOTE: Using `None` as the final signal is valid, since normal data will
# always be a 2-tuple with the 1st element being the index of the data
# transferred (different from dataset index/key), and the 2nd being
# either the dataset key or the data sample (depending on which part
# of the data model the queue is at).
#
# [ worker processes ]
# While loader process is alive:
# Get from `index_queue`.
# If get anything else,
# Check `workers_done_event`.
# If set, continue to next iteration
# i.e., keep getting until see the `None`, then exit.
# Otherwise, process data:
# If is fetching from an `IterableDataset` and the iterator
# is exhausted, send an `_IterableDatasetStopIteration`
# object to signal iteration end. The main process, upon
# receiving such an object, will send `None` to this
# worker and not use the corresponding `index_queue`
# anymore.
# If timed out,
# No matter `workers_done_event` is set (still need to see `None`)
# or not, must continue to next iteration.
# (outside loop)
# If `workers_done_event` is set, (this can be False with `IterableDataset`)
# `data_queue.cancel_join_thread()`. (Everything is ending here:
# main process won't read from it;
# other workers will also call
# `cancel_join_thread`.)
#
# [ pin_memory_thread ]
# # No need to check main thread. If this thread is alive, the main loader
# # thread must be alive, because this thread is set as daemonic.
# While `pin_memory_thread_done_event` is not set:
# Get from `index_queue`.
# If timed out, continue to get in the next iteration.
# Otherwise, process data.
# While `pin_memory_thread_done_event` is not set:
# Put processed data to `data_queue` (a `queue.Queue` with blocking put)
# If timed out, continue to put in the next iteration.
# Otherwise, break, i.e., continuing to the out loop.
#
# NOTE: we don't check the status of the main thread because
# 1. if the process is killed by fatal signal, `pin_memory_thread`
# ends.
# 2. in other cases, either the cleaning-up in __del__ or the
# automatic exit of daemonic thread will take care of it.
# This won't busy-wait either because `.get(timeout)` does not
# busy-wait.
#
# [ main process ]
# In the DataLoader Iter's `__del__`
# b. Exit `pin_memory_thread`
# i. Set `pin_memory_thread_done_event`.
# ii Put `None` in `worker_result_queue`.
# iii. Join the `pin_memory_thread`.
# iv. `worker_result_queue.cancel_join_thread()`.
#
# c. Exit the workers.
# i. Set `workers_done_event`.
# ii. Put `None` in each worker's `index_queue`.
# iii. Join the workers.
# iv. Call `.cancel_join_thread()` on each worker's `index_queue`.
#
# NOTE: (c) is better placed after (b) because it may leave corrupted
# data in `worker_result_queue`, which `pin_memory_thread`
# reads from, in which case the `pin_memory_thread` can only
# happen at timeing out, which is slow. Nonetheless, same thing
# happens if a worker is killed by signal at unfortunate times,
# but in other cases, we are better off having a non-corrupted
# `worker_result_queue` for `pin_memory_thread`.
#
# NOTE: If `pin_memory=False`, there is no `pin_memory_thread` and (b)
# can be omitted
#
# NB: `done_event`s isn't strictly needed. E.g., we can just check for
# `None` from `index_queue`, but it allows us to skip wasting resources
# processing indices already in `index_queue` if we are already shutting
# down.
