[Freeswitch-users] mod_gsmopen - deadlock tty

Now, i make some changes, and until now it's running fine

I think the problem was when you declare interface as dead, like line 674
of gsmopen_protocol.cpp

https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/src/mod/endpoints/mod_gsmopen/gsmopen_protocol.cpp

alarm_event(tech_pvt, ALARM_FAILED_INTERFACE, "gsmopen_serial_monitor
failed, declaring interface dead");
tech_pvt->active = 0;
->>>> tech_pvt->name[0] = '\0';

You make a \0 in interface name

So, when someone call remove_interface() in mod_gsmopen.cpp

https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/src/mod/endpoints/mod_gsmopen/mod_gsmopen.cpp

To grab the tech_pvt, the function check for strlen or compare
GSMOPEN_INTERFACES[interface_id].name (line 322 and 329)

Then, we will not found interface (tech_pvt), because "name" is nothing

continuing, in line 336 it's check if there is a tech_pvt

if (!tech_pvt) {
DEBUGA_GSMOPEN("interface '%s' does not exist\n", GSMOPEN_P_LOG,
the_interface);
  goto end;
}

This check will jump the Close in line 385, causing a deadlock opened fd.
res = tech_pvt->serialPort_serial_control->Close();

So i comment every line when you set tech_pvt->name[0] = '\0';

It's correct? Since when interface failed, and it's declared as died, the
serial isn't closed, just marked as died, and the tty still opened causing
a deadlock, if no one close this.
