* switch_jb_deadlock.c -- Deadlock test for jitter buffer channel mutex ordering
5+

* This test reproduces the deadlock between two threads:
7+
* Thread 1: switch_channel_event_set_data() -> switch_jb_get_frames()
8+
* Locks: channel mutex -> jb mutex
9+
* Thread 2: switch_jb_put_packet() -> new_node() -> switch_jb_reset()

* Locks: jb mutex -> channel mutex (via switch_channel_set_variable_printf)

* The deadlock occurs when:
13+
* - Thread 1 holds channel mutex, wants jb mutex (in switch_jb_get_frames at line 1271)
14+
* - Thread 2 holds jb mutex, wants channel mutex (in switch_jb_reset at line 1178)
