A new type of dynamic channel will be introduced soon, so prepare some comments
to name the dynamic TS kind more specifically.

Skip PDCH activation if the GPRS mode is 'none' at:
* TCH/F_PDCH init after OML Enable (dyn_pdch_init())
* after TCH/F_PDCH is released, in TCH/F mode
* in the T3111 error timer callback after a TCH/F_PDCH was released in error
state
Assert the GPRS mode in rsl_ipacc_pdch_activate() to make sure all callers
check the GPRS mode.
Closes: OS#1765

In rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack(), only activate PDCH when in NONE state.
For the case of REL_ERR state, do the PDCH activation in the error timeout
callback after T3111 is done.

Do the PDCH DE/ACT before we set the lchan->state to De-/Activation Requested.
It makes more sense semantically to change PDCH mode while the lchan is still
in NONE status. Thus slightly move some invocations:
PDCH ACT: Free the lchan before PDCH activation. Hence remove the lchan_free()
call from the rsl_rx_pdch_act_ack() code path; it used to do the PDCH
activation first and call lchan_free() in the callback.
PDCH DEACT: Set the (TCH) Activation Requested state only within
rsl_chan_activate_lchan(), after the PDCH deact is complete.
Channel allocator: don't pick channels that have a PDCH PENDING flag set, to
avoid using channels that are still in PDCH switchover (despite their state
being NONE).
The lchan_may_change_pdch() sanity checks are becoming a lot simpler.

Set and clear pending flags on the TS according to PDCH de-/activation.
This will allow changing the time we set the channel state to after PDCH
DEACT and before PDCH ACT, in a subsequent commit.
Also add a sanity check on whether we're sending conflicting or superfluous
PDCH de-/activations on the same TS.

Rename TS_F_PDCH_MODE to TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE, to more accurately reflect the truth
value's meaning.
Add TS_F_PDCH_ACT_PENDING and TS_F_PDCH_DEACT_PENDING for sysmoBTS (and
possibly other BTS implementations) to remember what to do when the PCU replies
with a channel de/activation. Also add TS_F_PDCH_PENDING_MASK to test for both.
Change from #define to an enum.
Note: These flags are also used in the upcoming osmo-bts-sysmo dyn PDCH
commits, so osmo-bts submission depends on this commit.

subscr_name() was called from several places:
* either without a check for subscr being NULL, which for example
was causing a segfault if we hand-over a channel before identifying the
subscriber
* or with an explicit NULL check and the ternary operator (?).
We now simplify the code by checking for the NULL Subscriber in subscr_name()
itself.

Move define to header file.
Use inline functions where appropriate.
Change int variables which are used as boolean into actual bool to make
code easier to follow.
Merge two copies into a local static helper function. The format
of the message will change and then it is easier to modify it in
one place than in two.
Sadly the original patch was merged before this clean-up so do
the clean-up as second step.

We had issues with odd behavior on the nanoBTS which lead
to the introduction of the "broken" state. On busy multi
BTS cells (e.g. rhizomatica) with wifi backhaul the timeout
we set to wait for a RF Channe Release ACK is sometimes too
little and channels are marked broken that look to be okay
(besides the still to be determined delay).
In case of a sysmoBTS we now know that we can change the
state of a broken channel back to normal in case we do
receive the right response.
Manually verified using the Smalltalk BTS code
PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'FakeBTS'
bts := FakeBTS.BTS new.
bts btsId: '1903/0/0'.
bts connect: 'localhost'.
bts waitForBTSReady.
test := FakeBTS.OpenBSCTest new.
test bts: bts.
test requireAnyChannel
... wait for NITB output
<0004> abis_rsl.c:223 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) Timeout during deactivation! Marked as broken.
... process pending messages
stdin next
<0004> abis_rsl.c:735 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) CHAN REL ACK for broken channel. Releasing it.
So the channel went from broken to unallocated.
This is a normal situation under high load: The BTS is out of resources
and the BSC cannot allocate any dedicated channel. We may send an IMM
ASS REJECT back to the MS. All well within normal parameters, not an
error that needs to be reported back to the caller, who propagates it
all the way up to libosmo-abis.
We can now configure the pyisical channel types for CBCH either in the
CCCH+SDCCH4 or in the SDCCH8 chanel combination.
Depending on whether a CBCH exists on the BTS, we also generate the SI4
with matching CBCH channel description to notify the phones of the
existance of the CBCH.
There is now a VTY command how a SMS-CB message can be sent to a given
BTS.
We do not yet have any logic at all for actual scheduling of multiple
CBCH RSL messages towards one or multiple BTSs yet, though.
Timing advance is stored inside lchan structure, so it is removed from
arguments. This is useful, if other actions are required prior calling
rsl_chan_activate_lchan. (like deactivating PDCH first)
The "shifted TA value" that is required by BS11 is now calculated inside
rsl_chan_activate_lchan and not by each user.
[Rebased by Holger. So some hunks were skipped as the patch
depended on Jolly's HO code]
In case we receive ERROR INDICATION and CONNECTION FAILURE we only
want to RF Channel Release the lchan once. This code is more simple
and should work as reliable as the previous commit.
When we receive an ERROR INDICATION and CONNECTION FAILURE we
might call rsl_rf_chan_release multiple times. The channel release
handling is still a bit messy and there too many paths that lead
to the call.
1.) In case we receive an ERROR INDICATION for SAPI=3. A RLL
error signal will be emitted that leads to the release of the
channel through the SMS code in case of the NITB. The call to
rsl_rf_chan_release might be a double release.
2.) In case a CONNECTION FAILURE is received when the release
process has already been started we would unconditionally
call rsl_rf_chan_release as well.
Because the lchan state is changed by the callers of the
rsl_rf_chan_release we can not move the state checking into this
code but need to do it in the caller. The issue was seen in a trace
from Rhizomatica and I created the DoubleRelease.st to re-produce
the issue and verified that we have no duplicate RF Channel Releses.
The other option would be to introduce a new state to track
the release process and see if we have already released SAPIs
deactivated the SACCH or such. We can not simply look at these
as for a channel that fails to activate they will be null already.
Looking at the code it seemed possible that a channel would
transition from BROKEN to NONE. Or worse from NONE to BROKEN.
Start the timer _after_ the channel has been released.
Given that the method is only called for a traffic channels the
missing breaks didn't hurt.

This option is a workarround for a bug found in Nokia InSite BTS firmware
version 3.0.0. There is no RELease CONFirm message for local end release.
Nokia MetroSite with firmware version 4.178.16 is not affected.
TS 04.06 Chapter 5.4.4.4 "Local end release procedure" states that a
confirm must be sent by layer 2 when receiving a local end release
request.
In order to correctly switch a channel (handover or assignment), local
end release is required.
The support has been implemented for an old model, we were told that
newer versions would be made incompatible with OpenBSC. Ther are
various warnings in the code and coverity has found some new ones.
Just remove the code as we don't know of anyone using this code.
A channel that fails to send an ACK/NACK/REL within the four second
timeout is now marked as broken. In case the release comes in late
it will be ignored. The lchan should already been freed and for now
we don't want to trust the channel.
In the future we might want to send a "release" for a channel that
got activated ack late and just set the state to none on a channel
that is released acked late.
The late ACK and REL has been tested with two manual tests using the
fakebts. The channels remained blocked even after having received
the ACK message here. The NACK case has not been manually tested.

The message was corrupt at several points. They are fixed now and
successfully tested.
A default T3122 timer value of 10 is defined by default now. If set to 0,
the reject message will not be sent. Note that when using existing configs
with T3122 value set to 0.
The code predates the TLV parser and we were parsing the RLM from the
wrong offset. In general we were using the length of the TLV which
happened to be equal to the T200 indication.
After consulting the RLM cuases not every of them should generate a
BSC_RLLR_IND_ERR_IND as these are forwarded to the MSC as a SAPI reject
right now.
TLV parsing now generates this due a bug in the osmo-bts code:
abis_rsl.c:1605 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) SAPI=0 <0000> abis_rsl.c:1547 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=2,ss=0) ERROR INDICATION cause=Fraeme not implemented
In case of handover (but probably on RACH) we would send a RLL for
SAPI=0 even if this SAPI was never established. After we have released
all SAPI>0 locally check that SAPI=0 is established and if not release
the rf channel directly.
T3109 is started when the SACCH is deactivated. It is stopped when
the phones sends the DISC/UA/UM on LAPDm for the main signalling
link. In case of timeout the abnormal release procedure will be
initiated. Make sure to not issue the SACCH Deactivate twice to
avoid confusing the equipment.
This is still not fully spec compliant. In case of a timeout the
abnormal release handling will be started which involves starting
T3111+2. The error handling should be split out of the rf channel
release method, e.g. lchan_release should be called and check if
the channel release was already initiated.
If the CHAN ACTIV is NACKED we set the state backto NONE. This is
problematic as our channel allocator will allocate from the front
or from the back and if the channel is early in the list it might
cause permanent failures. Introduce a BROKEN state and use it when
the channel activation is failing for an unknown reason. Copy the
cause so it can be inspected later.
Deactivate the SACCH and release all SAPIs locally as of GSM 04.08. Add
documentation to the code and explain what will happen as part of the
release process.
* Release all channels with SAPI > 0 with the "local end release"
(as of NOTE 1 of GSM 04.08).
* No need to wait for all SAPIs to be torn down and the normal
REL_IND/REL_CONF will call rsl_handle_release and the channel
should be released.
* Update the documentation
Put the idiom that sets the lchan state to none and respecting the
error state into a shared method. This way the special handling for
the abnormal case is just in one place.
We now have a lchan->csd_mode member that determines if RSL should
activate the channel in CSD transparent services or not. The previous
code always assumed CSD is non-transparent.
