Environment:Attachments:( 0) bt-of-lockup.txt
( 1) core_show_locks.txt
Description:When using the following hint, most "dialplan reload" commands will lock the system up. Once in deadlock, existing sip conversations will continue, new sip connections will fail. sip show peers will look normal.
exten => _4040XXXX,hint,Custom:phone${EXTEN:4}

I have about 25 phones subscribing to this hint, and creating the "virtual hints", on initial load all is well, reloads lock the system.

I have included attachments with core show locks and a bt trace of a running thread to show where the deadlock is occurring.

That doesn't actually tell me where the lock is occurring.  While it's clear that two threads are waiting for the lock, it does not appear as though the lock is actually held.  Have you perhaps truncated the 'core show locks' output?

I have checked my files, and they were not truncated when uploaded. Do you want a different test? This is actually quite easy to replicate.

Would you mind trying the fix from ASTERISK-16365 ?  I suspect that they are the same issue and the fix I uploaded there will fix the issue here, as well.

Fix from related issue has been committed.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated to verify if this fix closes this issue, as well.

No response from reporter.  Assuming patch fixed the problem.
