When the app_agent_pool module initially loads there is a race condition
between the thread loading agents.conf and the device state internal
processing thread. If the device state internal processing thread handles
the agent creation state updates before the thread that loaded agents.conf
registers the device state provider callback then the cached agent state
is "Invalid". When a consumer module like app_queue asks for the agent state
it gets the cached "Invalid" state instead of the real state from the provider.
* Moved loading the agents.conf configuration to the last thing setup by
app_agent_pool in load_module(). Now the device state provider callback
is registered before the config is loaded so the agent creation state
updates are guaranteed to get the initial device state.
* Removed some now redundant config cleanup on error in load_config().
* Added lock protection when accessing the device state in
agent_pvt_devstate_get() and eliminated the RAII_VAR() usage.

* Incremented the AMI version to 2.7.0.
* Changed astman_send_listack() to not use the listflag parameter and
always set the value to "Start" so the start capitalization is consistent.
i.e., The FAXSessions used "Start" while the rest of the system used
"start". The corresponding complete event always used "Complete".
* Fixed ami_show_resource_lists() "PJSIPShowResourceLists" to output the
AMI ActionID for all of its list events.
* Fixed off-nominal AMI protocol error in manager_bridge_info(),
manager_parking_status_single_lot(), and
manager_parking_status_all_lots(). Use of astman_send_error() after
responding to the original AMI action request violates the action response
pattern by sending two responses.
* Fixed minor protocol error in action_getconfig() when no requested
categories are found. Each line needs to be formatted as "Header: text".
* Fixed off-nominal memory leak in manager_build_parked_call_string().
* Eliminated unnecessary use of RAII_VAR() in ami_subscription_detail().

Made agent able to interrupt the alerting beep playback with DTMF. Any
digit can interrupt if the call does not need to be acknowledged. Only
the first digit of the acknowledgement can interrupt if the call needs to
be acknowledged. The agent interrupting the alerting playback builds on
the ASTERISK-24447 patch because it knows what digit interrupted the
playback and needs to be able to pass that digit to the DTMF hook digit
collection code.

During some performance testing of Asterisk with AGI, ARI, and lots of Local
channels, we noticed that there's quite a hit in performance during channel
creation and releasing to the dialplan (ARI continue). After investigating
the performance spike that occurs during channel creation, we discovered
that we create a lot of channel snapshots that are technically unnecessary.
This includes creating snapshots during:
* AGI execution
* Returning objects for ARI commands
* During some Local channel operations
* During some dialling operations
* During variable setting
* During some bridging operations
And more.
This patch does the following:
- It removes a number of fields from channel snapshots. These fields were
rarely used, were expensive to have on the snapshot, and hurt performance.
This included formats, translation paths, Log Call ID, callgroup, pickup
group, and all channel variables. As a result, AMI Status,
"core show channel", "core show channelvar", and "pjsip show channel" were
modified to either hit the live channel or not show certain pieces of data.
While this is unfortunate, the performance gain from this patch is worth
the loss in behaviour.
- It adds a mechanism to publish a cached snapshot + blob. A large number of
publications were changed to use this, including:
- During Dial begin
- During Variable assignment (if no AMI variables are emitted - if AMI
variables are set, we have to make snapshots when a variable is changed)
- During channel pickup
- When a channel is put on hold/unhold
- When a DTMF digit is begun/ended
- When creating a bridge snapshot
- When an AOC event is raised
- During Local channel optimization/Local bridging
- When endpoint snapshots are generated
- All AGI events
- All ARI responses that return a channel
- Events in the AgentPool, MeetMe, and some in Queue
- Additionally, some extraneous channel snapshots were being made that were
unnecessary. These were removed.
- The result of ast_hashtab_hash_string is now cached in stasis_cache. This
reduces a large number of calls to ast_hashtab_hash_string, which reduced
the amount of time spent in this function in gprof by around 50%.

Improvements to the agent pool functionality.
* AgentRequest no longer hangs up the caller if the agent fails to connect
with the caller. It now continues in the dialplan.
* AgentRequest returns AGENT_STATUS set to NOT_CONNECTED if the agent
failed to connect with the call. Most likely because the agent did not
acknowledge the call in time or got disconnected.
* The agent alerting play file configured by the agent.conf custom_beep
option can now be disabled by setting the option to an empty string. The
agent is effectively alerted to a call presence when MOH stops.
* Fixed bridge reference leak when the agent connects with a caller.

Much needed was a way to assign id to objects on creation, and
much change was necessary to accomplish it. Channel uniqueids
and linkedids are split into separate string and creation time
components without breaking linkedid propgation. This allowed
the uniqueid to be specified by the user interface - and those
values are now carried through to channel creation, adding the
assignedids value to every function in the chain including the
channel drivers. For local channels, the second channel can be
specified or left to default to a ;2 suffix of first. In ARI,
bridge, playback, and snoop objects can also be created with a
specified uniqueid.
Along the way, the args order to allocating channels was fixed
in chan_mgcp and chan_gtalk, and linkedid is no longer lost as
masquerade occurs.

Original commit message by mmichelson (asterisk 12 r403311):
"This adds channel locks around calls to create channel snapshots as well
as other functions which operate on a channel and then end up
creating a channel snapshot. Functions that expect the channel to be
locked prior to being called have had their documentation updated to
indicate such."
The above was initially committed and then reverted at r403398. The problem
was found to be in core_local.c in the publish_local_bridge_message function.
The ast_unreal_lock_all function locks and adds a reference to the returned
channels and while they were being unlocked they were not being unreffed when
no longer needed. Fixed by unreffing the channels.
Also in bridge.c a lock was obtained on "other->chan", but then an attempt was
made to unlock "other" and not the previously locked channel. Fixed by
unlocking "other->chan"

Bridges have two new optional properties, a creator and a name.
Certain consumers of bridges will automatically provide bridges that
they create with these properties. Examples include app_bridgewait,
res_parking, app_confbridge, and app_agent_pool. In addition, a name
may now be provided as an argument to the POST function for creating
new bridges via ARI.

The Dial, Queue, and FollowMe applications need to inhibit the bridging
initial connected line exchange in order to support the 'I' option.
* Replaced the pass_reference flag on ast_bridge_join() with a flags
parameter to pass other flags defined by enum ast_bridge_join_flags.
* Replaced the independent flag on ast_bridge_impart() with a flags
parameter to pass other flags defined by enum ast_bridge_impart_flags.
* Since the Dial, Queue, and FollowMe applications are now the only
callers of ast_bridge_call() and ast_bridge_call_with_flags(), changed the
calling contract to require the initial COLP exchange to already have been
done by the caller.
* Made all callers of ast_bridge_impart() check the return value. It is
important. As a precaution, I also made the compiler complain now if it
is not checked.
* Did some cleanup in parking_tests.c as a result of checking the
ast_bridge_impart() return value.
An independent, but associated change is:
* Reduce stack usage in ast_indicate_data() and add a dropping redundant
connected line verbose message.

the media path.
* Fixed app_agent_pool agent alert from restarting the MOH after the alert
beep. The agent entertainment is now changed from MOH to silence after
the alert beep.
* Fixed holding bridge technology to defer starting the entertainment. It
was previously a mixture of immediate and deferred.
* Fixed holding bridge technology to immediately stop the entertainment.
It was previously a mixture of immediate and deferred. If the channel
left the bridging system, any deferred stopping was discarded before
taking effect.

This prevents XML documentation duplication by expanding channel and
bridge snapshot tags into channel and bridge snapshot parameter sets
with a given prefix or defaulting to no prefix. This also prevents
documentation from becoming fractured and out of date by keeping all
variations of the documentation in template form such that it only
needs to be updated once and keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Most hook callbacks did not need the bridge parameter. The pointer value
could become invalid if the channel is moved to another bridge while it is

This patch renames the bridging* files to bridge*. This may seem pedantic
and silly, but it fits better in line with current Asterisk naming conventions:
* channel is not "channeling"
* monitor is not "monitoring"
etc.
A bridge is an object. It is a first class citizen in Asterisk. "Bridging" is
the act of using a bridge on a set of channels - and the API that fulfills that
role is more than just the action.

This patch does the following:
* It pulls out bridge_channel and puts it into its own translation unit
* It adds public and protected headers for bridging_channel. Protected
functions are appropriate only for the Bridging API and sub-classes of a

The ill conceived chan_agent is no more. It is now replaced by
app_agent_pool.
Agents login using the AgentLogin() application as before. The
AgentLogin() application no longer does any authentication.
Authentication is now the responsibility of the dialplan. (Besides, the
authentication done by chan_agent did not match what the voice prompts
asked for.)
Sample extensions.conf
[login]
; Sample agent 1001 login
; Set COLP for in between calls so the agent does not see the last caller COLP.
exten => 1001,1,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(all)="Agent Waiting" <1001>)
; Give the agent DTMF transfer and disconnect features when connected to a caller.
same => n,Set(CHANNEL(dtmf-features)=TX)
same => n,AgentLogin(1001)
same => n,NoOp(AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
same => n,Hangup()
[caller]
; Sample caller direct connect to agent 1001
exten => 800,1,AgentRequest(1001)
same => n,NoOp(AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
same => n,Hangup()
; Sample caller going through a Queue to agent 1001
exten => 900,1,Queue(agent_q)
same => n,Hangup()
Sample queues.conf
[agent_q]
member => Local/800@caller,,SuperAgent,Agent:1001
Under the hood operation overview:
1) Logged in agents wait for callers in an agents holding bridge.
2) Caller requests an agent using AgentRequest()
3) A basic bridge is created, the agent is notified, and caller joins the
basic bridge to wait for the agent.
4) The agent is either automatically connected to the caller or must ack
the call to connect.
5) The agent is moved from the agents holding bridge to the basic bridge.
6) The agent and caller talk.
7) The connection is ended by either party.
8) The agent goes back to the agents holding bridge.
To avoid some locking issues with the agent holding bridge, I needed to
make some changes to the after bridge callback support. The after bridge
callback is now a list of requested callbacks with the last to be added
the only active callback. The after bridge callback for failed callbacks
will always happen in the channel thread when the channel leaves the
bridging system or is destroyed.
