George Joseph 076799be15 bridging: Fix multiple bridging issues causing SEGVs and FRACKs. Issues: * The bridging core allowed multiple bridges to be created with the same unique bridgeId at the same time. Only the last bridge created with the duplicate name was actually saved to the core bridges container. * The bridging core was creating a stasis topic for the bridge and saving it in the bridge->topic field but not increasing its reference count. In the case where two bridges were created with the same uniqueid (which is also the topic name), the second bridge would get the _existing_ topic the first bridge created. When the first bridge was destroyed, it would take the topic with it so when the second bridge attempted to publish a message to it it either FRACKed or SEGVd. * The bridge destructor, which also destroys the bridge topic, is run from the bridge manager thread not the caller's thread. This makes it possible for an ARI developer to create a new one with the same uniqueid believing the old one was destroyed when, in fact, the old one's destructor hadn't completed. This could cause the new bridge to get the old one's topic just before the topic was destroyed. When the new bridge attempted to publish a message on that topic, asterisk could either FRACK or SEGV. * The ARI bridges resource also allowed multiple bridges to be created with the same uniqueid but it kept the duplicate bridges in its app_bridges container. This created a situation where if you added two bridges with the same "bridge1" uniqueid, all operations on "bridge1" were performed on the first bridge created and the second was basically orphaned. If you attempted to delete what you thought was the second bridge, you actually deleted the first one created. Changes: * A new API `ast_bridge_topic_exists(uniqueid)` was created to determine if a topic already exists for a bridge. * `bridge_base_init()` in bridge.c and `ast_ari_bridges_create()` in resource_bridges.c now call `ast_bridge_topic_exists(uniqueid)` to check if a bridge with the requested uniqueid already exists and will fail if it does. * `bridge_register()` in bridges.c now checks the core bridges container to make sure a bridge doesn't already exist with the requested uniqueid. Although most callers of `bridge_register()` will have already called `bridge_base_init()`, which will now fail on duplicate bridges, there is no guarantee of this so we must check again. * The core bridges container allocation was changed to reject duplicate uniqueids instead of silently replacing an existing one. This is a "belt and suspenders" check. * A global mutex was added to bridge.c to prevent concurrent calls to `bridge_base_init()` and `bridge_register()`. * Even though you can no longer create multiple bridges with the same uniqueid at the same time, it's still possible that the bridge topic might be destroyed while a second bridge with the same uniqueid was trying to use it. To address this, the bridging core now increments the reference count on bridge->topic when a bridge is created and decrements it when the bridge is destroyed. * `bridge_create_common()` in res_stasis.c now checks the stasis app_bridges container to make sure a bridge with the requested uniqueid doesn't already exist. This may seem like overkill but there are so many entrypoints to bridge creation that we need to be safe and catch issues as soon in the process as possible. * The stasis app_bridges container allocation was changed to reject duplicate uniqueids instead of adding them. This is a "belt and suspenders" check. * The `bridge show all` CLI command now shows the bridge name as well as the bridge id. * Response code 409 "Conflict" was added as a possible response from the ARI bridge create resources to signal that a bridge with the requested uniqueid already exists. * Additional debugging was added to multiple bridging and stasis files.

This directory contains the specification for the Asterisk RESTful
API. The API is documented using Swagger[1]. This is used to not only
generate executable documentation pages for the API, but also to
generate a lot of the boilerplate necessary for implementing the API
with Asterisk's HTTP server.
