New subject: [Freeswitch-dev] ready() function inside mod_spidermonkey returning False

3 Mar 2011

      This issue appears to be an open JIRA, so we've added Comments to the JIRA
but this post contains a few extra details as well.  We have also analyzed
the C source code and may have found the cause.

We are trying to originate a new call from an existing session from
javascript using the session constuctor and then calling the ready()
function. 

We have had intermittent call failures from calls generated by
mod_spidermonkey. 

The following is a sequence of events that lead to failure of call
originated from javascript interpreted by mod_spidermonkey. The following
are from Freeswitch log, and my comments are on the end of the lines
followed by //

(sofia/external/5551212@10.10.10.28:5080) Running State Change
CS_SOFT_EXECUTE // The running state changed after “ready()” returns 

Looking inside the source code for “mod_spidemonkey”, it calls
“switch_channel_wait_for_state_timeout” on line 2886, which is supposed to
check for the “running state”, not the “state”. However, inside
“switch_channel_wait_for_state_timeout” in switch_channel.c, it compares
“running state” with “want_state” by a “>=”. Since CS_CONSUME_MEDIA >
CS_SOFT_EXECUTE, this returns true before the running state actually
changes. 

We cannot easily flip the “>=” check, either. There are enumeration values
such as CS_NEW that are actually smaller than CS_SOFT_EXECUTE and should
have precedence. Perhaps being in the state of “CS_CONSUME_MEDIA” is an
unexpected condition to begin with? 

On line 15899 of “switch_channel.c”, it checks 
“!switch_channel_state_change_pending(channel)”. This check fails because
the “running state” and the “state” are different. In other words, the state
change is indeed pending. 

Because the transition time between CS_CONSUME_MEDIA going into
CS_SOFT_EXECUTE can't be pre-determined, waiting for the completion of a
call can make all calls take a long time to get answered.  After running
several tests the failure rate is somewhat unpredictable but fewer failures
occur with a softphone like Kapanga (1 out of 4 fails) versus a hardware SIP
phone like our Aastra 6739i SIP phone (3 out of 4 fails).   

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
