>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Resources/res_pjsip
>    Affects Versions: 13.17.2, 14.6.2, GIT, 15.0.0-rc1
>            Reporter: Alexander Traud

> Since Asterisk 13.13, the module res_pjsip requires the module res_pjsip_session because it inits a {{pjsip_message_filter}} (formerly {{pjsip_message_ip_updater}}).
> The call stack is as follows:
> * res_pjsip → load_module → ast_res_pjsip_init_message_filter → ast_sip_session_register_supplement
> * unload_pjsip → ast_res_pjsip_cleanup_message_filter →  ast_sip_session_unregister_supplement
> This issue has two symptoms:
> * In the build configuration (menuselect), when {{res_pjsip_session}} is disabled but {{res_pjsip}} stays enabled, Asterisk crashes with {{/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_pjsip.so: undefined symbol: ast_sip_session_register_supplement}}.
> * In the Command-Line Interface (CLI), {{core stop gracefully}} and {{core stop when convenient}} give the error {{Some modules could not be unloaded, switching to fast shutdown}}.
> Consequently, that {{pjsip_message_filter}} introduces a cyclic reference and the module {{res_pjsip_session}} can never be unloaded, because the reference count never drops to zero. Furthermore, menuselect shows an incorrect build dependency between those modules.
> I have no idea how to fix this, because I am not into the architecture of res_pjsip enough to understand why {{ast_sip_session_(un)register_supplement}} is required at all. Therefore, I am just reporting this issue and cannot contribute any patch or suggestion.
