#2260 closed defect (fixed)

Potential deadlock between sip_transaction and sip_reg

Description

A potential deadlock between sip_transaction and sip_reg.
This issue is found using Helgrind.

Although not exactly similar, but this is related to ticket #1247.

In that ticket, the fix in was to release the lock before calling pjsip_endpt_send_request(), which worked because as the stack trace showed, the flow was: regc_refresh_timer_cb(), which doesn't lock->pjsip_regc_send()->pjsip_endpt_send_request().

But if the lock is held more than once, then deadlock can still occur (for example: regc_tsx_callback(), which holds regc lock->pjsip_regc_send()->pjsip_endpt_send_request()).

For complete stack trace reported by Helgrind, refer to below:
