<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;">Issue: when a PRI span is disconnected (e.g.: following the unassignment pri spans) dahdi channels of that span can be destroyed in two different pathes:
1. DAHDI channels are destroyed in response to pri_event_removed
2. The span is destroyed in response to DAHDI_EVENT_REMOVED in the D-channel. Before the span is destroyed, its channels need to be destroyed.
If the channel is not in a call, (1) is run from the monitor thread, holding the iflock (lock of iflist: the list of channels). somewhere in the process of destroying a channel that belongs to a PRI
span, the pri's lock needs to be acquired.
(2) is called from a context of handling the PRI events and hence holds the PRI lock. Destroying the channels requires getting the iflock.
Which means that if the two happen simultaneously, we have a deadlock. And the two will happen simultaneously, as recent versions of DAHDI will send an extra DAHDI_EVENT_REMOVED as a response to any call to the ioctl on DAHDI_GET_EVENT on a removed span.
This review includes the patches pri_destroy_span_prilist.patch and sigpri_handle_enodev_1.patch from the referred bug. The former solves this deadlock by creating a list of spans to be removed "later" and and thus allow executing (2) without holding the pri lock.
The second patch fixes error handling of libpri: if read returns -ENODEV, we have no device and it should be destroyed. This, however, requires exposing the above "deferred destruction" functionality to sig_pri.
