Thanks for the review. We are indeed talking about uncached:

  rtcachefriends=no

The relevant code:

  sip_devicestate(...)
  sip_find_peer(host, NULL, realtime=FALSE, FINDALLDEVICES, devstate_only=TRUE, 0)

    if (!p && (realtime || devstate_only)) {
       p = realtime_peer(peer, addr, devstate_only, which_objects);

  realtime_peer(...)

    if (ast_test_flag(&global_flags[1], SIP_PAGE2_RTCACHEFRIENDS) && !devstate_only) {
      ...
      ao2_t_link(peers, peer, "link peer into peers table");

So, the devstate_only=TRUE initiates a realtime lookup anyway, but ensures that the found peer isn't linked in the peers table (if rtcachefriends were to be true).

The comments in sip_devicestate could probably use some clarification.


As for your question:

> Is it caching an old stale entry without address?

No, it's returning the freshly loaded peer, but it will never have an p->addr (unless it is currently in a call); the proxy takes care of that stuff. So I need the devicestate to return what it knows, which is *nothing* (unknown), not *unavailable*.
