During specific release scenarios, it became clear that an lchan still
pointed at a conn even after it had been deallocated. That was due to
setting conn->lchan = NULL but not lchan->conn = NULL. Fix that.
Do lchan_forget_conn() first, because during gscon_forget_lchan() we may
enter the gscon clearing dance, which in case of no SCCP conn being
present will soon / should immediately deallocate the conn.

From the nature of the lchan_activate_info.tsc_set and .tsc, it is easy
to forget to set tsc_set,tsc = -1 to use default TSC Set and TSC values.
Handover code is one such instance that forgets to set -1.
Change the semantics of tsc_set and tsc so that this kind of error can
not happen again as easily: use a separate bool to flag whether to use
the default config or explicit values.

So far we were inherting the bs_power in used when activating an lchan
for an MS for which we already had previous lchan. For instance, when an
MS is first assigned an SDCCH, and later on, it is assigned a TCH to
place a voice call.
Doing so is, however, not correct because current and old lchans may be
placed on different TS or even on different TRX, which means they will
have different BS Power restrictions. In the scenario described above,
for instance, an SDCCH could have been assigned on C0 and hence have
a bs_power of 0, and later on, whenever the TCH lchan as created, it
would have inherited the C0 bs_power despite it may have been possible
to use a different (lower) max bs power.
Furthermore, the lchan->bs_power_db basically stores the *maximum* bs
power reduction. Hence it makes not sense at all to copy over the value,
since it is anyway not updated from MS measurement reports so far
anyway.

Testing has shown that the Training Sequence Code in pre-chan-ack mode
is inaccurate (only worked with a BSIC that incidentally yielded the
same TSC value as the wrong TSC value sent in the IMM ASS msg).
Move the code setting the correct TSC and TSC-Set to the first stage of
channel activation (lchan_fsm_wait_ts_ready_onenter()) so that it is
available for both pre-chan-ack and pre-ts-ack Early-IA modes.
Have a separate function for setting the preliminary values requested in
Channel Activation (lchan->activate.*) into the accepted operative
places (lchan->*). Call this early for early-IA modes.
Hence the TSC and TSC-Set used in the early IMM ASS message is now the
correct one, and the same as sent during Channel Activation.
There shouldn't be any, but if there are other values besides TSC
suffering from the same problem, they are now also set to the right
values before sending IMM ASS early.

In Immediate Assignment, in case the dyn TS is not ready yet, get the

Change gsm_lchan_name_compute() to a function that in-place updates the

When set_pchan_is() updates the VAMOSness of the lchans, call
lchan_fsm_update_id(). From lchan_fsm_update_id() also call
lchan_update_name().
This is a bit convoluted for legacy reasons. There are utility programs

lchan_update_name() from lchan_fsm_update_id() and not vice versa to

Put a (primary) lchan in VAMOS speech mode.
This is not yet about activating shadow lchans, this merely puts any
lchan in a VAMOS capable channel- and speech mode.
Protocol:
In RR Channel Mode Modify, send a spec conforming VAMOS channel mode as
well as an Extended TSC Set, wich adds the TSC Set to the training
sequence code value.
In RSL MODE MODIFY, send Osmocom specific extensions to indicate the TSC
Set and TSC, as well as the VAMOS channel mode; only to OsmoBTS type
cells.
- Set the Channel Mode's Channel Rate to Osmocom specific
RSL_CMOD_CRT_OSMO_TCH_VAMOS_Bm / RSL_CMOD_CRT_OSMO_TCH_VAMOS_Lm
- Add the Osmocom specific Training Sequence IE containing both TSC Set
and TSC.
(These are documented in the Abis manual.)
Implementation:
The internal API to request a Mode Modify is lchan_modify(info). Add to
this info the 'vamos' bool, set to true when the modification should put
the lchan in VAMOS channel mode or not.
When info.vamos == true, make sure the channel mode value is a VAMOS
one: in the copy of info->ch_mode_rate at lchan->modify.ch_mode_rate,
convert to the right VAMOS/non-VAMOS equivalent channel mode.
When the modification is through, set lchan->vamos.enabled
appropriately.

Activating / modifying to a VAMOS mode will require picking specific TSC
Set / TSC. It is a bad idea to pick the TSC in each message encoding
function, rather make this choice centrally.
So far we pick the training sequence code to use based on the timeslot
configuration, and this TSC is determined only upon encoding the RSL
messages.
Instead, pick the TSC to use upon the initial lchan activation /
modification request; store this in the request structs and pass through
the activation / modification code paths.
For VAMOS modes, we also need to pick a TSC Set. Do so also upon activ /
modif request. Note that the TSC Set is not yet applied in this patch,
it will be applied in upcoming VAMOS patches.
The activ / modif request may pass -1 for tsc_set and/or tsc to indicate
no specific choice of TSC Set and TSC, resulting in the same behavior as
before this patch.
For example, lchan->activate.info.tsc* may be passed as -1. The exact
choice for tsc_set and tsc is then stored in lchan->activate.tsc*, i.e.
one level up (the .info sub-struct is considered as immutable input
args). The lchan->activate.tsc* are the values actually encoded in RSL
messages. After the ACK, the lchan->activate.tsc* is stored in
lchan->tsc* to indicate the TSC actually in use. Same for modif.
Note that in 3GPP TS 45.002, the TSC Set are numbered 1 to 4, while the
TSC are numbered 0 to 7. On the wire, though, TSC Set is sent as 0 to 3
value. This is a weird discrepancy, odd choice made by the spec authors.
For conformance with the spec wording, I decided to pass the TSC Set
number as a 1-4 ranged value, and only convert it to the 0-3 on-the-wire
format upon message encoding. So log messages and VTY output will
indicate the first TSC Set as "1", but the first TSC as "0", as defined
in 3GPP TS 45.002, even if that is somewhat weird.

And secondly, do not store the AMR LV structure in struct gsm_lchan at

It does not really make sense to decide on AMR mode filtering based on

a) BTS: There is no need to skip AMR mode filtering for the BTS config
at all. There is always a BTS.
b) MSC: Instead of testing for a VTY origin of the request, rather skip

Split off two function from lchan_mr_config() which do not directly
manipulate struct gsm_lchan members. This allows subsequent patches to
re-use mr_config_filter() for Channel Mode Modify without depending on
lchan->activate.info; allows to filter AMR modes without modifying the
state of an already active lchan before sending a Channel Activation or
Channel Mode Modify; and allows to move mr_config_render_lv() to
gsm_04_08_rr.c so that the mr_ms_lv and mr_bts_lv no longer need to be
stored in struct gsm_lchan -- they essentially duplicate s15_s0.
Rationale:
This is a follow-up for the AMR configuration in the sense that previous
patch Ie0da36124d73efc28a8809b63d7c96e2167fc412 started for channel mode
and rate, and the s15_s0 bits:
The AMR mode filtering directly manipulates struct gsm_lchan members and
takes parameters from lchan->activate.info. This makes it hard to
separate lchan activation from the Channel Mode Modify procedure.

I noticed during testing that an lchan used as TCH/F in fact still had
its channel mode set to Signalling -- because on Assignment, the Speech
mode used to be placed in the *previous* lchan and the new lchan was
never updated after the Activ ACK. This is unbearable confusion which I
complained about numerous times, so far mostly for cosmetic reasons. But
implementing re-assignment properly actually requires this to be cleaned
up.
Keep all volatile chan mode settings in lchan->activate.* or
lchan->modify.*, and only update lchan->* members when an ACK has been
received for those settings. So a failed request keeps a sane state.
Make sure that those settings are in fact updated in the proper lchan,
upon an ACK, so that subsequent re-assignment or mode-modify know the
accurate lchan state.

The Channel Mode Modify procedure is currently implemented for changing
a TCH lchan from signalling to voice mode. For that, however, it is
re-using (abusing) the channel activation structs and state transitions,
and thus always implies activating a voice stream when the mode
modification is done.
I will add a Channel Mode Modify to enable VAMOS mode soon, so I require
separate structs and state transitions which also work on an lchan that
already has a voice stream established: a struct lchan_modify_info and
LCHAN_EV_REQUEST_MODE_MODIFY, and dedicated assignment FSM state
ASSIGNMENT_ST_WAIT_LCHAN_MODIFIED.
For the part where a Channel Mode Modify enables a voice stream after
switching from signalling to speech mode, still use the channel
activation code path, but only once the mode modification is done.
General improvements:
- To ask for a mode modification, emit an FSM event that ensures a mode
modify only happens when the lchan state allows it.
- The new lchan_modify_info struct reflects only those parts that have
an effect during a mode modification (before the lchan_activate_info
was fully populated, many values not having an effect).
- More accurate logging, indicating "Mode Modify" instead of "Channel
Activation"
A TTCN3 test for the Channel Mode Modify procedure is added in
Idf4efaed986de0bbd2b663313e837352cc139f0f, and the test passes both
before and after this patch is applied.
