Description:After working for a couple of minutes on a server with small IAX load (couple of calls per minute) Asterisk runs out of idle IAX2 threads. Problem can be easily repeated - the server works for a couple of minutes then stops responding to IAX.

chan_iax2.c: Out of idle IAX2 threads for I/O, pausing!

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I have also compiled asterisk with 500 (instead of 100) dynamic threads - server worked a bit longer but eventually IAX2 blocked - out of idle threads:

Thread P5: state=2, update=23935, actions=144933, func ='socket_process'

I seem to have put the wrong category - its not really IAX Database support

Can you please use gdb to acquire a backtrace? It will allow me to see where every thread is hanging, or would it be possible to arrange access so I could try to diagnose it? Thanks.

By: Dawid M (dmielnik) 2006-10-17 17:45:54

ok - attached the gdb back traces
please contect me - dmielnik (at) voiceware.pl if you would still want to arrange access to the server.

Is this an unoptimized build?

By: Dawid M (dmielnik) 2006-10-18 12:48:52

No - this is an optimized build. I am not sure but I think I have tried compiling with DONT_OPTIMIZE with the same effect.

By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2006-10-18 12:50:22

The issue may still reoccur with an unoptimized build but in order to accurately track it down from a backtrace it needs to be unoptimized.

By: Dawid M (dmielnik) 2006-10-18 12:53:44

ok - I will provide you with backtraces of the deadlock for an unoptimazed build in about 20 minutes.

By: Dawid M (dmielnik) 2006-10-18 14:00:50

ok - uploaded backtrace for non optimized build

This issue should be resolved in the latest chan_iax2 commit I did. Give it a go. If not please reopen.
