Bugs: ASTERISK-22936
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-22936


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

This is a pretty severe locking problem which if triggered will cause Asterisk to become unusable. Basically when attended transferring a bridge in a way that triggers a masquerade, the ast_sip_push_task_synchronous function is unable to complete and we are stuck holding the channels container lock forever. The only simple answer to this problem is to not push the task synchronously and allow the fixup function to run some time later.

According to Josh and Mark, this hasn't been done before and there is a bit of fear that allowing the task processor to operate on a zombie channel could cause problems.

Testing
-------

Performed the attended transfer described on the issue without ending up in a state with locks being held. Prior to the patch, this would occur 100% of the time.


Thanks,

Jonathan Rose
