The changes I introduce here seem to clear up the problem
for me. However, if they do not for you, please reopen this
bug, and we'll keep digging.
The root of this problem seems to be a subtle memory corruption
introduced when creating an extension with an empty extension
name. While valgrind cannot detect it outside of DEBUG_MALLOC
mode, when compiled with DEBUG_MALLOC, this is certain death.
The code in main/features.c is a puzzle to me. On the initial
module load, the code is attempting to add the parking extension
before the features.conf file has even been opened!
I just wrapped the offending call with an if() that will not
try to add the extension if the extension name is empty. THis
seems to solve the corruption, and let the "memory show allocations"
work as one would expect.
But, really, adding an extension with an empty name is a seriously
bad thing to allow, as it will mess up all the pattern matching
algorithms, etc. So, I added a statement to the add_extension2 code to return
a -1 if this is attempted.

For: J. Geis
The 'data' field in the ast_exten struct was being
'moved' from the current dialplan to the replacement
dialplan. This was not good, as the current dialplan
could have problems in the time between the change
and when the new dialplan is swapped in.
So, I modified the merge_and_delete code to strdup
the 'data' field (the args to the app call), and
then it's freed as normal.
I improved a few messages; I added code to limit
the number of calls to the context_merge_incls_swits_igps_other_registrars()
to one per context. I don't think having it called
multiple times per context was doing anything bad,
but it was inefficient.
I hope this fixes the problems Mr. Geiss was noting in
asterisk-users, see

OK, now the context registrar slot is strdup'd. It is freed
on destruction. I don't see the need to do this with all
the structs' registrar fields, but if some wild case proves
they should also be handled this way, then we can
put in the extra work at that time.

(closes issue #12960)
Reported by: mnicholson
In this 'omnibus' fix, I **think** I solved both
the problem in 13041, where unloading pbx_ael.so
caused crashes, or incomplete removal of previous
registrar'ed entries. And I added code to completely
remove all includes, switches, and ignorepats that
had a matching registrar entry, which should
appease 12960.
I also added a lot of seemingly useless brackets
around single statement if's, which helped debug
so much that I'm leaving them there.
I added a routine to check the correlation between
the extension tree lists and the hashtab
tables. It can be amazingly helpful when you have
lots of dialplan stuff, and need to narrow
down where a problem is occurring. It's ifdef'd
out by default.
I cleaned up the code around the new CIDmatch code.
It was leaving hanging extens with bad ptrs, getting confused
over which objects to remove, etc. I tightened
up the code and changed the call to remove_exten
in the merge_and_delete code.
I added more conditions to check for empty context
worthy of deletion. It's not empty if there are
any includes, switches, or ignorepats present.
If I've missed anything, please re-open this bug,
and be prepared to supply example dialplan code.

Reported by: ys
Many thanks to ys for doing the research on this problem.
I didn't think it would be best to unlock the contexts
and then relock them after the remove_extension2() call,
so I added an extra arg to remove_extension2() and set it
appropriately in each call. There were not that many.
I considered forcing the code to lock the contexts before
the call to remove_extension2(), but that would require
a slightly greater degree of changes, especially since
the find_context_locked is local to pbx.c
I did a simple sanity test to make sure the code doesn't
mess things up in general.

This commit merges in the rest of the code needed to support distributed device
state. There are two main parts to this commit.
Core changes:
- The device state handling in the core has been updated to understand device
state across a cluster of Asterisk servers. Every time the state of a device
changes, it looks at all of the device states on each node, and determines the
aggregate device state. That resulting device state is what is provided to
modules in Asterisk that take actions based on the state of a device.
New module, res_ais:
- A module has been written to facilitate the communication of events between
nodes in a cluster of Asterisk servers. This module uses the SAForum AIS
(Service Availability Forum Application Interface Specification) CLM and EVT
services (Cluster Management and Event) to handle this task. This module
currently supports sharing Voicemail MWI (Message Waiting Indication) and
device state events between servers. It has been tested with openais, though
other implementations of the spec do exist.
For more information on testing distributed device state, see the following doc:
- doc/distributed_devstate.txt

This commit breaks out some logic from pbx.c into a simple API. The hint
processing code had logic for taking the state from multiple devices and
turning that into the state for a single extension. So, I broke this out
and made an API that lets you take multiple device states and determine
the aggregate device state. I needed this for some core device state changes
to support distributed device state.

DUNDi uses a concept called the Entity ID for unique server identifiers. I have
pulled out the handling of EIDs and made it something available to all of Asterisk.
There is now a global Entity ID that can be used for other purposes as well, such
as code providing distributed device state, which is why I did this. The global
Entity ID is set automatically, just like it was done in DUNDi, but it can also be
set in asterisk.conf. DUNDi will now use this global EID unless one is specified
in dundi.conf.
The current EID for the system can be seen in the "core show settings" CLI command.
It is also available in the dialplan via the ENTITYID variable.

were handled. In 1.4, if the absolute timeout were reached on a call, no matter what
the return value of ast_spawn_extension was, the pbx would attempt to go to the 'T'
extension or hangup otherwise. The rearrangement of this function in trunk made this check
only happen in the case that ast_spawn_extension returned 0. If ast_spawn_extension returned
1, then the fact that the timeout expired resulted in a no-op, and would cause an infinite
loop to occur in __ast_pbx_run. This change fixes this problem. Now timeouts will
behave as they did in 1.4

I have hopes that the changes made over the last few days will
finalize and solidify this code. While there are bound to be
small tweaks still needed, I feel that the job (at last) is
somewhat completed. Finally, I had a chance to comprehend how
the scoring of extension patterns was done in the previous
version, and I've come very close to using the exact same
criteria in the new pattern matching code. The left-right
sorting is now replicated in the trie structure itself, such
that the first match found will the 'best' match. Compared
the results against 1.4 for several extensions. Replicated
falves11's setup and it works. Used some devious patterns
provided by jsmith, supplemented with a few of my own.
Looks good.

Due to a bug that occurred when merge_contexts_and_delete scanned the "old" or existing contexts, and found a context
that doesn't exist in the new set, yet owned by a different registrar. The context is created in the new set, with the
old registrar, and and all the priorities and extens that have a different registrar are copied into it. But, not the
includes, ignorepats, and switches. I added code to do this immediately after the context is created.
This still leaves a logical hole in the code. If you define a context in two places, (eg. in extensions.conf and also
in extensions.ael), and they both have includes, but different in composition, no new context will be generated, and
therefore the 'old' includes, switches, and ignorepats will not be copied. I'd have added code to simply add any non-duplicates
into the 'new' context that had a different registrar, but there is one big complication: includes, and switches are definitely
order dependent. (ignorepats I'm not sure about). And we'll have to develop some sort of policy about how we
merge order dependent lists, especially if the intersection of the two sets is empty. (in other words, they do not have any
elements in common). Do the new go first, or the old? I've elected to punt this issue until a user complains. Hopefully,
this is pretty rare thing.

Proposal of the changes to be made, and then an announcement of how they were accomplished:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2008-February/032065.html
and:
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2008-March/032124.html
Here is a recap, file by file, of what I have done:
pbx/pbx_config.c
pbx/pbx_ael.c
All funcs that were passed a ptr to the context list, now will ALSO be passed a hashtab ptr to the same set.
Why? because (for the time being), the dialplan is stored in both, to facilitate a quick, low-cost move to
hash-tables to speed up dialplan processing. If it was deemed necessary to pass the context LIST, well, it
is just as necessary to have the TABLE available. This is because the list/table in question might not be
the global one, but temporary ones we would use to stage the dialplan on, and then swap into the global
position when things are ready.
We now have one external function for apps to use, "ast_context_find_or_create()" instead of the pre-existing
"find" and "create", as all existing usages used both in tandem anyway.
pbx_config, and pbx_ael, will stage the reloaded dialplan into local lists and tables, and
then call merge_contexts_and_delete, which will merge (now) existing contexts and
priorities from other registrars into this local set by copying them. Then, merge_contexts_and_delete will
lock down the contexts, swap the lists and tables, and unlock (real quick), and then
destroy the old dialplan.
chan_sip.c
chan_iax.c
chan_skinny.c
All the channel drivers that would add regcontexts now use the ast_context_find_or_create now.
chan_sip also includes a small fix to get rid of warnings about removing priorities that never got entered.
apps/app_meetme.c
apps/app_dial.c
apps/app_queue.c
All the apps that added a context/exten/priority were also modified to use ast_context_find_or_create instead.
include/asterisk/pbx.h
ast_context_create() is removed. Find_or_create_ is the new method.
ast_context_find_or_create() interface gets the hashtab added.
ast_merge_contexts_and_delete() gets the local hashtab arg added.
ast_wrlock_contexts_version() is added so you can detect if someone else got a writelock between your readlocking and writelocking.
ast_hashtab_compare_contexts was made public for use in pbx_config/pbx_ael
ast_hashtab_hash_contexts was in like fashion make public.
include/asterisk/pval.h
ast_compile_ael2() interface changed to include the local hashtab table ptr.
main/features.c
For the sake of the parking context, we use ast_context_find_or_create().
main/pbx.c
I changed all the "tree" names to "table" instead. That's because the original
implementation was based on binary trees. (had a free library). Then I moved
to hashtabs. Now, the names move forward too.
refcount field added to contexts, so you can keep track of how many modules
wanted this context to exist.
Some log messages that are warnings were inflated from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_WARNING.
Added some calls to ast_verb(3,...) for debug messages
Lots of little mods to ast_context_remove_extension2, which is now excersized in ways
it was not previously; one definite bug fixed.
find_or_create was upgraded to handle both local lists/tables as well as the globals.
context_merge() was added to do the per-context merging of the old/present contexts/extens/prios into the new/proposed local list/tables
ast_merge_contexts_and_delete() was heavily modified.
ast_add_extension2() was also upgraded to handle changes.
the context_destroy() code was re-engineered to handle the new way of doing things,
by exten/prio instead of by context.
res/ael/pval.c
res/ael/ael.tab.c
res/ael/ael.tab.h
res/ael/ael.y
res/ael/ael_lex.c
res/ael/ael.flex
utils/ael_main.c
utils/extconf.c
utils/conf2ael.c
utils/Makefile
Had to change the interface to ast_compile_ael2(), to include the hashtab ptr.
This ended up involving several external apps. The main gotcha was I had to
include lock.h and hashtab.h in several places.
As a side note, I tested this stuff pretty thoroughly, I replicated the problems
originally reported by Luigi, and made triply sure that reloads worked, and everything
worked thru "stop gracefully". I found a and fixed a few bugs as I was merging into
trunk, that did not appear in my tests of bug6002.
How's this for verbose commit messages?

Avoiding a potentially bad locking situation. ast_merge_contexts_and_delete writelocks the conlock, then
calls ast_hint_extension, which attempts to readlock the same lock. Recursion with read-write locks is
dangerous, so the inner lock needs to be removed. I did this by copying the "guts" of ast_hint_extension
into ast_merge_contexts_and_delete (sans the extra lock).
(this change is inspired by the locking problems seen in issue #11080, but I have no idea if this is the
problematic area experienced by the reporters of that issue)

when looking up extensions. This code was added to handle the case where a
dialplan switch was in use that could block for a long time. However, the way
that I added it, it did this for all extension lookups. However, lookups in the
in-memory tree of extensions should _not_ take long enough to matter. So, move
the autoservice stuff to be only around executing a switch.

Removing some seemingly pointless code. This sets a channel variable for every priority
executed in the dialplan if you have debug set to anything non-zero. This seems pointless
due to the fact that these channel variables are not referenced anywhere else in the code and
their names are esoteric enough that they would not be practical to reference in the dialplan. Plus
the fact that this behavior isn't documented anywhere means that the change is not likely to cause
any disruption. If anything, this may actually cause a slight performance increase if running with
debug on.
The motivating influence for this code change is the eventwhencalled option for queues. If set to
vars, all channel variables will be output to the manager. These unnecessary channel variables make
the output a lot more difficult to deal with.

- update documentation for some of the goto functions to note that they
handle locking the channel as needed
- update ast_explicit_goto() to lock the channel as needed

Merge changes from team/russell/autoservice_1.4
This set of changes fixes an issue that was reported to me on IRC yesterday.
The user, d1mas, was using chan_zap for incoming calls and was having DTMF
recognition issues in some situations. Specifically, he noticed that the
problem occurred when using DISA or WaitExten. He also noticed that when
using Read, the problem did not occur. His system also used DUNDi for
dialplan lookups.
So, he theorized that if the DUNDi lookups blocked for some period of time,
that audio from the zap channel could get lost. If the audio got lost, then
it wouldn't be run through the DTMF detector, and digits could get lost.
He was correct, and the following set of changes fixes the problem. However,
the changes go a little bit further than what was necessary to fix this exact
problem.
1) I updated pbx_extension_helper() to autoservice the associated channel to
handle cases where extension lookups may take a long time. This would
normally be a dialplan switch that does some lookup over the network, such
as the DUNDi or IAX2 switches.
This ensures that even while a DUNDi lookup is blocking, the channel will be
continuously serviced.
2) I made a change to the autoservice code. This is actually something that
has bothered me for a long time. When a channel is in autoservice, _all_
frames get thrown away. However, some frames really shouldn't be thrown
away. The most notable examples are signalling (CONTROL) frames, and DTMF.
So, this patch queues up important frames while a channel is in autoservice.
When autoservice is stopped on the channel, the queued up frames get stuck
back on the channel so that they can get processed instead of thrown away.
3) I made another change to the autoservice code to handle the case where
autoservice is started on channels recursively.
Previously, you could call ast_autoservice_start() multiple times on a
channel, and it would stop the first time ast_autoservice_stop() gets
called. Now, it will ensure that autoservice doesn't actually stop until
the final call to ast_autoservice_stop().
