This patch serves two purposes:
(1) It fixes some bugs with endpoint subscriptions not reporting all of the
channel events
(2) It serves as the preliminary work needed for ASTERISK-23692, which allows
for sending/receiving arbitrary out of call text messages through ARI in a
technology agnostic fashion.
The messaging functionality described on ASTERISK-23692 requires two things:
(1) The ability to send/receive messages associated with an endpoint. This is
relatively straight forwards with the endpoint core in Asterisk now.
(2) The ability to send/receive messages associated with a technology and an
arbitrary technology defined URI. This is less straight forward, as
endpoints are formed from a tech + resource pair. We don't have a
mechanism to note that a technology that *may* have endpoints exists.
This patch provides such a mechanism, and fixes a few bugs along the way.
The first major bug this patch fixes is the forwarding of channel messages
to their respective endpoints. Prior to this patch, there were two problems:
(1) Channel caching messages weren't forwarded. Thus, the endpoints missed
most of the interesting bits (such as channel creation, destruction, state
changes, etc.)
(2) Channels weren't associated with their endpoint until after creation.
This resulted in endpoints missing the channel creation message, which
limited the usefulness of the subscription in the first place (a major use
case being 'tell me when this endpoint has a channel'). Unfortunately,
this meant another parameter to ast_channel_alloc. Since not all channel
technologies support an ast_endpoint, this patch makes such a call
optional and opts for a new function, ast_channel_alloc_with_endpoint.
When endpoints are created, they will implicitly create a technology endpoint
for their technology (if one does not already exist). A technology endpoint is
special in that it has no state, cannot have channels created for it, cannot
be created explicitly, and cannot be destroyed except on shutdown. It does,
however, have all messages from other endpoints in its technology forwarded to
it.
Combined with the bug fixes, we now have Stasis messages being properly
forwarded. Consider the following scenario: two PJSIP endpoints (foo and bar),
where bar has a single channel associated with it and foo has two channels
associated with it. The messages would be forwarded as follows:
channel PJSIP/foo-1 --
\
--> endpoint PJSIP/foo --
/ \
channel PJSIP/foo-2 -- \
---- > endpoint PJSIP
/
channel PJSIP/bar-1 -----> endpoint PJSIP/bar --
ARI, through the applications resource, can:
- subscribe to endpoint:PJSIP/foo and get notifications for channels
PJSIP/foo-1,PJSIP/foo-2 and endpoint PJSIP/foo
- subscribe to endpoint:PJSIP/bar and get notifications for channels
PJSIP/bar-1 and endpoint PJSIP/bar
- subscribe to endpoint:PJSIP and get notifications for channels
PJSIP/foo-1,PJSIP/foo-2,PJSIP/bar-1 and endpoints PJSIP/foo,PJSIP/bar
Note that since endpoint PJSIP never changes, it never has events itself. It
merely provides an aggregation point for all other endpoints in its technology
(which in turn aggregate all channel messages associated with that endpoint).
This patch also adds endpoints to res_xmpp and chan_motif, because the actual
messaging work will need it (messaging without XMPP is just sad).

An endpoint is an external device/system that may offer/accept
channels to/from Asterisk. While this is a very useful concept for end
users, it is surprisingly not a core concept within Asterisk itself.
This patch defines ast_endpoint as a separate object, which channel
drivers may use to expose their concept of an endpoint. As the channel
driver creates channels, it can use ast_endpoint_add_channel() to
associate channels to the endpoint. This updated the endpoint
appropriately, and forwards all of the channel's events to the
endpoint's topic.
In order to avoid excessive locking on the endpoint object itself, the
mutable state is not accessible via getters. Instead, you can create a
snapshot using ast_endpoint_snapshot_create() to get a consistent
snapshot of the internal state.
This patch also includes a set of topics and messages associated with
endpoints, and implementations of the endpoint-related RESTful
API. chan_sip was updated to create endpoints with SIP peers, but the
state of the endpoints is not updated with the state of the peer.
Along for the ride in this patch is a Stasis test API. This is a
stasis_message_sink object, which can be subscribed to a Stasis
topic. It has functions for blocking while waiting for conditions in
the message sink to be fulfilled.
