[SR-Users] 4.4.4 CPU 100%

[Tomas Zanet]

Hi all, I’ve been using Kamailio 4.4.4 for 8 months without any problems but in recent days, I’m having some issues with our server and, when it happens, it cannot get new registrations.
Using top I saw a kamailio process is eating all CPU.

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 1556 kamailio  20   0 1010884  27624  24520 R  98.5  1.4 150:07.59 kamailio

I got backtrace attaching to Kamailio with gdb. Here is the backtrace:

(gdb) bt

At the moment I found the issue, there were 862 sip client registered correctly.
Our server is configured to use only TLS and mysql as backend.

Can anyone address me to find out why this happens?

Many thanks,
