George Joseph d425971009 chan_sip: Address runaway when realtime peers subscribe to mailboxes Users upgrading from asterisk 13.5 to a later version and who use realtime with peers that have mailboxes were experiencing runaway situations that manifested as a continuous stream of taskprocessor congestion errors, memory leaks and an unresponsive chan_sip. A related issue was that setting rtcachefriends=no NEVER worked in asterisk 13 (since the move to stasis). In 13.5 and earlier, when a peer tried to register, all of the stasis threads would block and chan_sip would again become unresponsive. After 13.5, the runaway would happen. There were a number of causes... * mwi_event_cb was (indirectly) calling build_peer even though calls to mwi_event_cb are often caused by build_peer. * In an effort to prevent chan_sip from being unloaded while messages were still in flight, destroy_mailboxes was calling stasis_unsubscribe_and_join but in some cases waited forever for the final message. * add_peer_mailboxes wasn't properly marking the existing mailboxes on a peer as "keep" so build_peer would always delete them all. * add_peer_mwi_subs was unsubscribing existing mailbox subscriptions then just creating them again. All of this was causing a flood of subscribes and unsubscribes on multiple threads all for the same peer and mailbox. Fixes... * add_peer_mailboxes now marks mailboxes correctly and build_peer only deletes the ones that really are no longer needed by the peer. * add_peer_mwi_subs now only adds subscriptions marked as "new" instead of unsubscribing and resubscribing everything. It also adds the peer object's address to the mailbox instead of its name to the subscription userdata so mwi_event_cb doesn't have to call build_peer. With these changes, with rtcachefriends=yes (the most common setting), there are no leaks, locks, loops or crashes at shutdown. rtcachefriends=no still causes leaks but at least it doesn't lock, loop or crash. Since making rtcachefriends=no work wasnt in scope for this issue, further work will have to be deferred to a separate patch. Side fixes... * The ast_lock_track structure had a member named "thread" which gdb doesn't like since it conflicts with it's "thread" command. That member was renamed to "thread_id".
