Hello!

I encountered an outage of asterisk which showed like that:

VSZ       virtual memory size of the process in KiB (1024-byte units)
RSS       resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a task has 
used (in kiloBytes).

=> Memory usage had been rapidly growing since 2019-08-16 00:00:01


Few words about the usage of asterisk:
- 2 registered endpoints
- 4 SIPS / SRTP trunks
- 46 calls at 2019-08-15
- the sip:isp.de trunk hadn't been used


Some findings:

- The problem seems to be triggered by the "task processor queue reached 500 
scheduled tasks" problem. I saw this message in June, too.
  Context each time was the same ISP (-> not Deutsche Telekom!) as described 
above in conjunction with registration retries, too.

- Registration configuration of this provider:

 <Registration/ServerURI..............................>  <Auth..........>  
<Status.......>
==========================================================================================

 ispPJSIP/sip:isp.de                                     ispPJSIP          
Registered

 ParameterName            : ParameterValue
 ==============================================================
 auth_rejection_permanent : true
 client_uri               : sip:0049...@isp.de
 contact_user             : +49...
 endpoint                 : ispPJSIP
 expiration               : 3600
 fatal_retry_interval     : 0
 forbidden_retry_interval : 10
 line                     : true
 max_retries              : 10000
 outbound_auth            : ispPJSIP
 outbound_proxy           :
 retry_interval           : 60
 server_uri               : sip:isp.de
 support_path             : false
 transport                : 0.0.0.0-tls


The expiration value given above is not true. isp.de forces ReRegistration each 
90s (asterisk does it each 60s if I remember correctly)!
    Contact: <sip:+49...@isp-ip:5061;transport=TLS;line=....>;expires=90

- After performing the restart of asterisk, registration to the isp.de hadn't 
any problem any more. Therefore I think,
  the reregistration problem wasn't a problem of the provider not answering but 
in fact a problem of asterisk being unable to correctly perform the 
ReRegistration.




The final question:
===================
Is there a problem with taskprocessors probably not being canceled on some 
conditions (maybe unanswered or hanging registrations?) and therefore steadily 
growing up and using more and more open files (and memory) until asterisk can't 
do
anything anymore because some limits are exceeded as a result?
Could there be a problem with the retry interval 60s and the real ReRegister 
done each 60s, too (performing a "fork" bomb)?



Thanks
Michael
