Description

How to reproduce?

Just add 'sctp-role client' to your configuration file, e.g. to osmo-msc.cfg:

cs7 instance 0
  point-code 0.23.1
  asp asp-clnt-OsmoMSC-A 2905 0 m3ua
    remote-ip 127.0.0.1
    sctp-role client ! <-- this line causes OsmoMSC to use 100% CPU
  as as-clnt-OsmoMSC-A m3ua
    asp asp-clnt-OsmoMSC-A
    routing-key 1 0.23.1

What happens?

Looking at the output of strace, it seems like some file descriptor makes the select() loop non-blocking:

select(11, [3 4 5 6 9 10], [4 10], [], {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=519755}) = 2 (in [4], out [4], left {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=519751})

OsmoSTP has the following routing table:

OsmoSTP# show cs7 instance 0 route 
Routing table = system
C=Cong Q=QoS P=Prio

Destination            C Q P Linkset Name        Linkset Non-adj Route

Some more observations

I don't know the exact role OsmoMSC is supposed to play. Adding this line to osmo-bsc.cfg replicates the same behaviour. Changing sctp-role from 'client' to 'server' or omitting this line makes both OsmoMSC and OsmoBSC talk to each other just fine again.

I had this line in my osmo-msc.cfg since the last breakage of libosmo-sccp, and so far everything was working good (until the recent upgrade). Even if this is an incorrect configuration, we should not keep OsmoMSC running and eating CPU. Aborting the process makes more sense in this case. Otherwise it's not easy to notice this problem.

pespin any ideas?

    timeout = {tv_sec = 0, tv_usec = 0}, active = 0, cb = 0x7ffff7ed5d20 <cli_timer_cb>, data = 0x5555557670d0}, state = STREAM_CLI_STATE_NONE, addr = {                 
    0x555555766ec0 "127.0.0.1", 0x0 <repeats 31 times>}, addrcnt = 1 '\001', port = 2905, local_addr = {0x0 <repeats 32 times>}, local_addrcnt = 1 '\001',               
  local_port = 0, proto = 132, connect_cb = 0x7ffff7ef4b20 <xua_cli_connect_cb>, disconnect_cb = 0x0, read_cb = 0x7ffff7ef8cb0 <xua_cli_read_cb>, write_cb = 0x0,        
  data = 0x555555766b90, flags = 2, reconnect_timeout = 5}

The state = STREAM_CLI_STATE_NONE causes the switch statement in osmo_stream_cli_fd_cb() to do nothing, so we merely return. That's the reason why select() always gives us the control and does not block. Now the main question is how do we end up in that state.
