here is the backtrace I have. unfortunatly without debug symbol!

I found the same for many of the kamailio process. "sched_yield"
is pending for ever. My system is a debian/etch.

I guess most t_relay operation towards my "mobipouce.com" domain
with one IP being down breaks each kamailio process one after the
other... I'm not sure every such t_relay operation is always breaking
exactly one thread each time.

I went through the lock/unlock of tcp_main.c but it seems every
lock has an unlock at least...

Hi Aymeric,

i remember that we observed this "sched_yield" problems on one old 0.9 system
after some time (like weeks or month). We did not found the solution in this
case, after a restart it was gone again..

You mentioned in an earlier mail that you see this related to UDP traffic, but
in the log file and also in your investigations you think its related to TPC?

This is the exact case:
1-> SUBSCRIBE sent to/received by over UDP to kamailio.
2-> kamailio does a SRV record lookup for "mobipouce.com"
3-> kamailio try sip2.mobipouce.com (91.199.234.47) over TCP first
4-> connection failed with logs:
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:core:tcp_blocking_connect: poll error: flags 18
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:core:tcp_blocking_connect: failed to retrieve SO_ERROR (111) Connection refused
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:core:tcpconn_connect: tcp_blocking_connect failed
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:core:tcp_send: connect failed
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:tm:msg_send: tcp_send failed
Jan 27 12:56:38 ns26829 /usr/sbin/kamailio[9763]: ERROR:tm:t_forward_nonack: sending request failed
5-> I guess kamailio is supposed to try other SRV record value:
    sip2.mobipouce.com (91.199.234.46) but it doesn't

Thus, I'm guessing the issue is related to SRV record with failover OR just tcp failure. Not related to UDP at all.

so TCP connect failed, the tcp worker returned as it prints the message and, to be sure I got it right, the UDP worker (the one that received) got blocked?

1-> TCP connect failed
2-> second SRV is used: TCP connect succeed, but lock in tcp_send

That's what I understand.

I have tested a TCP connection to my server: It seems to be still
working.

It's definitly possible to reproduce the issue now!

I guess anyone can try your version of kamailio and t_relay message
to "mobipouce.com" and you'll fall in that case! Sending plenty of
those messages will finally lock all kamailio process.

All? tcp and udp?

Only udp!
