[SR-Users] Segmentation fault in DMQ module

[Henning Westerholt]

Hello Virgilio,

if you can reproduce it in your lab, please try to update Kamailio to a supported version (5.3.3 or the latest 5.2.x). Please open an issue ticket on our tracker if the problem can be also reproduced there.

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Segmentation fault in DMQ module

Hello,

I have in production environment with 4 proxies using DMQ to sync terminal registers and the DMQ configuration parameters is following:
loadmodule "dmq.so"
#modparam("dmq", "server_address", "sip:MY_IP_ADDRESS:MY_PORT_ADDRESS")
modparam("dmq", "notification_address", "DMQ_HOSTS")
modparam("dmq", "multi_notify", 1)
modparam("dmq", "num_workers", 4)


In the lab environment with the same configuration that in prod, I can simulate this problem with 12000 terminal REGISTERS and, when doing several restarts on a proxy, one of them is generated a coredump.
Analyzing the core, I can see that the problem is concurrency in the dmq synchronization.

Job_queue_size (...) is called with a valid queue and, but inside this function, the queue is null.


(gdb) up
#1  0x00007fefe58ee246 in job_queue_size (queue=0x0) at worker.c:254
254             return atomic_get(&queue->count);
(gdb) print queue
$1 = (job_queue_t *) 0x0
(gdb) up
#2  0x00007fefe58ed920 in add_dmq_job (msg=0x7ff028b453f8, peer=0x7fefebcc4df8) at worker.c:184
184                     if(job_queue_size(workers[i].queue) == 0) {
(gdb) print i
$2 = 1
(gdb) print workers[i].queue
$3 = (job_queue_t *) 0x7fefebce49b0

If I configure DMQ with  num_workers=1 I can't reproduce this problem.
I'm using the kamailio 5.0.8 release.

Is this problem known to you? What is the right way to solve it?

Best Regards,
Virgílio Cunha
