Hello,

since Upgrading our Asterisk System from Kernel 3.18.17 to 4.1.13 it
deadlocks every few hours (kill -9 is the only thing working). Booting
with 3.18 again let it run smooth again.

An strace shows asterisk is looping like this:

fd 8 is:

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 17 15:27 /proc/6025/fd/8 ->
anon_inode:[timerfd]


# cat /proc/6025/stack
[<ffffffff941d60e9>] poll_schedule_timeout+0x49/0x70

Any ideas how to debug this?
