It better reflects how it is used. It also removes possible confusion with the dialogs_needdestroy in Asterisk 10 branch which behaves differently.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Timing between dialog destruction and a MWI event sending a message could result in a deadlock.
Order of events causing deadlock:
1a) The event subscription system calls the registered callbacks with its list RWLOCK held.
1b) The SIP monitor checks for dialogs needing destruction. It does an ao2_callback that holds the dialogs container lock while searching for dialogs to destroy.
2a) The event subscription SIP callback needs to create a temporary dialog to send out the MWI notification. That temporary dialog needs to be inserted in the dialogs container so it must wait.
2b) The dialog search finds a dialog to destroy and as a result releases the last reference for a peer. The peer destructor attempts to get the subscription RWLOCK but must wait.
3) deadlock
