> We have been seeing an occasional freeze of Asterisk which we have tracked down to an apparent deadlock between code handling 'sip show channels' and code handling attended transfers.
> We've been seeing this maybe once every couple of days on servers handling ~200-300 concurrent calls at peak time.  'sip show channels' is being executed every 5 minutes by a munin plugin.
> I'll dig out the full trace in a second - if I still have a copy - but some important details are below.

> Frame 9 then calls get_sip_pvt_byid_locked, which does an ao2_t_find call over the dialogs list.  Subsequently frame 5 tries to lock the dialogs list (in AO2 terms, it is the ‘c’ parameter, the container).

> This is handling the ‘sip show channels’ command (see args in frames 9/10).  This iterates over ‘dialogs’ in a similar way, locking the container, and for each entry, show_channels_cb is called (frame 5, note that the __cur pointer is the same as the important transferer pointer from thread 6), subsequently this pointer is locked at frame 4.
> So in summary my assessment is as follows
> Thread 6: attended transfer, locks a sip_pvt, then the dialogs list
> Thread 22: sip show channels, locks the dialogs list, then a sip_pvt
> I've a patch which solves the problem for us, but it's really a workaround at best.  For our purposes a bit of missing information in 'sip show channels' output is far preferable to a deadlock though.
