[OpenSIPS-Users] opensips udp workers lock up with sched_yield

[William Simon]

In a SIP video environment we have a pair of opensips servers load balancing traffic to freeswitch. The call volume is modest among the two proxies, about 400 concurrent calls at peak times.

We are occasionally seeing opensips lock up and stop responding to SIP traffic. There is no error in the syslog and no indication of resource exhaustion on the VM (it is a 4-core VMware instance with 4GB of RAM). Once opensips locks up, CPU soon reaches 100%, but before that, it was not using even 50% of the CPU.

Get_statistics shows that neither the shared memory nor pkg memory are heavily used. They are set at 64M / 4M

opensipsctl trace shows this on the udp worker threads (children=8 in config – it was previously set to children=4 and showed the same behavior)

We also find no evidence in network captures of any network problem or anomalous SIP packet that could be causing a problem. How can we troubleshoot this? The only way to recover the service is to restart opensips.
