<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;">This is an interesting one. I filed issue ASTERISK-20375 a while back and David Lee fixed it. The problem was that in my setup, a call to ast_waitfor_nandfds() returned in less than a millisecond. The result was that the input-output value passed into ast_waitfor_nandfds() would never decrement the value properly. Thus a 3000 ms timeout would take *days* to actually time out.
David discovered that a similar pattern for determining the passage of time had been used throughout the code. This patch is an attempt to fix all of those. I've created a function in time.h called ast_remaining_ms() that will tell the amount of time remaining given a starting timestamp and the duration that the original timeout was. This is useful for determining the timeout to pass to an ast_waitfor() or related function.
Most of the changes here were straightforward, but there were some tricky bits. Focus strongly on the following changes:
1) wait_for_answer() in app_dial.c
2) wait_for_answer() in app_queue.c
3) generic_fax_exec() in res_fax.c
4) places where I have started setting "res" instead of "ms" or something similar in ast_waitfor() calls. Ensure that I have not tainted a return value. I found a few of these places while testing and fixed what I found on my own, but I could have missed some places.
5) places where a timeout is supposed to restart. I've tried to find these places, but I may have missed some.
In addition, there has been a change made to the return of ast_waitfor(). Prior to this patch, if a negative timeout were passed to ast_waitfor(), it would be impossible to return a negative value. This meant that it was impossible to detect if an error had occurred. I've changed ast_waitfor() to be able to return a negative value if a negative timeout is passed in, but only if the underlying call to ast_waitfor_nandfds() returns NULL.
I did this because I found many places in the code with this construct:
if (ast_waitfor(chan, -1) < 0) {
ast_log(LOG_ERROR, "ERMAHGERD!\n");
return HORRIBLE_ERROR_CONDITION;
}
The problem is that the error return could never actually be reached. It should be possible with my change. Please let me know if my change could cause problems though.</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;">I've placed many test calls through items that used timeouts like Dial and Queue with a timeout. I've also ensured that other apps that use ast_waitfor() such as Answer() and Echo() still function properly.</pre>
