Summary:                    [patch] Deadlock in chan_local when obtaining locks
on local_pvt->lock
Description: 
Deadlock condition in chan_local when two brideged threads attempt to
obtain
locks to eachothers local_pvt structures in the opposite order.  All
processing of SIP traffic halts when an attempt is made to hangup the
call.

Thread A obtains a lock to its local_pvt->lock when in local_write.  When
in check_bridge a call is made to ast_bridged_channel, this in turn calls
local_bridgedchannel which attempts to obtain a lock on the bridged
channels
local_pvt->lock.

Thread B follows a similar path.  It holds its own lock, and during a call
to
ast_channel_masquerade again local_bridgedchannel is called.  This
attempts to
obtain a lock to the bridged channel.

At this point either side has deadlocked.  Then a user attempts to hangup
the
call and again local_bridgedchannel is called, and blocks while attempting
to
get the lock.  Unfortunalty sip netlock is held and everything grinds to a
halt.

Thanks for that!  Seems your thinking was aligned with mine, ie only do
this in one direction.  I have put my patch into production, which in
theory should achieve roughly the same result.  I will apply your patch to
my code base shortly; unfortunatly I have to wait for a maintance window to
deploy it, which in this case is a week Tuesday.  I will let you know the
results.  Thanks for your efforts.
