<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 a request to backport code from https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/726/ to the stable branches (1.8 and 11).
726 is about handling a DAHDI event called DAHDI_EVENT_REMOVED on the D-channel. It was committed in r394552 (and r394567) which are also included in branch 12. It was followed by a releated and complementing change - r396474 ("chan_dahdi: create channels at run-time" , review 1598). The latter would probably considered as a new feature and not considered to backport.
The issue it is aimed to fix:
When we disconnect a DAHDI device[1], userspace devices can no longer read from its channels. DAHDI still keep minimal stubs that answer -ENODEV to each relevant system call. DAHDI also sends to userspace the event DAHDI_EVENT_REMOVE on each channel. Asterisk already knows to remove channels when it gets those events. This deals with analog channels, CAS, and MFC/R2. It also deals with the B-channels of an ISDN span. But the D-channel is left open and keeps flooding the log with the following line:
[Feb 6 18:06:22] ERROR[9169] chan_dahdi.c: PRI Span: 2 Read on 95 failed: No such device
which confusingly comes from libpri, as pri.c:__pri_read() does not pass the errno it gets on.
Applying the reviewed code fixes the issue. This problem has become even simpler to trigger with the introduction of dahdi_span_assignment, though it has been around earlier on.
[1] physically disconnect, 'rmmod xpp_usb' on and astribank, and with recent DAHDI versions: 'dahdi_span_assignments remove'</pre>
