Summary:                    Incomplete CDR lock
Description: 
This is all about the meaning of AST_CDR_FLAG_LOCKED flag for CDR. 
I assume if CDR has this flag set then it wont be updated anymore by any
ast_cdr_ functions except cases when we force such update. ast_cdr_reset()
is example of function which allows to update locked CDRs if special flag
is given.

Based on this assumption I prepared the patch with such changes:

  ast_cdr_setvar() - not allowed to touch locked CDRs. I don't see any
cases when we need to change locked CDRs too. Not touching locked CDRs is
helpfull when ForkCDR being used and every new CDR may have different
custom variables.

  ast_cdr_answer() - don't change status of locked CDRs. That might be
helpfull when we have a chain of CDRs for one incoming call for which we
perform several tries to make outgoing call. Every outgoing attempt may
finish with its own completion code. And if the final attempt is 'answered'
then we have only one CDR with 'answered' status. All other will keep
connection error codes which is very helpful for error monitoring.

 ast_cdr_end() - don't change locked CDRs by the same reason as
ast_cdr_answer()

As there will be no changes in CDR after lock, app_forkcdr.c should be
updated to end original locked CDR.
Also it'll be great to make optional cdr reset in this application, but
thats a theme for another patch.

I was applying your patch to the trunk and it fails on last chunks. That
why I though it was removed. Great that we have a general CDR lock here.

>And, setvar has opts last and recur, so it has 3 ways to set chained
cdrs:
>   1. just the cdr in question (no opt)(no respect for locked or
unlocked). 
>   2. just the last cdr in the chain. (l option)

that is a func_cdr.c option 

>   3. All CDR's in the chain (r option) (whether locked or not).

According code ast_cdr_setvar() by itself has only two ways of processing
CDRs:
1. all cdrs (recursive) 
2. first cdr in chain
Can we add possibilities to set variable only on non locked CDRs to this
function too?


As for your proposition for adding 'u' to CDR() its looks okay to me.
