Core/PBX: Deadlock between dialplan execution and application unregistration.
Not easy to reproduce, but we have noticed deadlocks when unloading a module while dialplan is handling a request. The deadlock is between : 1) Dialplan execution: pbx_extension_helper() first taking conlock, then pbx_findapp() [when called] asking for lock on apps list. 2) Application unregistration: ast_unregister_application() first taking lock on apps list, then unreference_cached_app() [when called] asking for conlock. As a protection, I suggest to modify ast_unregister_application(), so that it anticipates the need of conlock, before taking the lock on apps list. The side effect is a longer unavailability of conlock when unregistering an application. ASTERISK-27041 Change-Id: I0db0f1eb320da6a5758cce3a47d765be1face8e2
