There was always a 1:1 correspondence between gsm_subscriber_connection
and osmo_bsc_sccp_con, so there's really no point in having two separate
dynamically allocated data structures with pointers back and forth and
another linked list around.
Let's merge osmo_bsc_sccp_con into gsm_subscriber_connection for
simplicity.
The resulting code might not be elegant in places, but I've tried to
do only the most simple changes in this patch, while further
simplifications can be done in later subsequent patches.
As a side-effect, this patch also fixes lchan clearing if the MSC
(or the local SCCP provider) hard-disconnects the SCCP connection.

The separation of gsm_data_shared.* from gsm_data.* historically allowed
compiling parts of it into osmo-bts, which we have dropped since (osmo-bts has
its own copy now). Even though gsm_data.* now becomes rather large by it,
remove the legacy separation to get rid of the "shared" naming, which is no
longer meaningful. A future patch might separate into meaningful smaller bits,
if we get the time.

In addition to logging the current values of a BTS's channel load
average and T3122 override, maintain stat items for these values.
This allows for plotting these values over time, for instance.
These values show up in the VTY under 'show stats' like this:
base transceiver station:
Channel load average.: 25 %
T3122 IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT wait indicator.: 32 s
Change-Id: Icace0176e8b1d23d7c7b4816f7c67c65312844fa
Suggested-by: laforge
The IMMEDIATE ASSIGN REJECT message contains a wait indicator which
tells an MS requesting a channel to wait for a specified amount of
time before trying to request a channel again, i.e. the wait indicator
controls the T3122 timeout value in the MS.
Previously, the wait indicator was fixed to 10 seconds.
This is not sufficient if there are a lot of MS requesting channels
because the MS will retry too soon. Instead of using a fixed value,
maintain a dynamic wait indicator value based on average channel load.
The load (used vs. available channels on a BTS) is sampled once per
second, and once 8 samples have been collected we update a BTS-specific
T3122 wait indicator based on the measured load.
While the wait indicator could go up to 255 seconds, this initial
implementation keeps it in the range from 10 to 128 seconds.
Further experimentation and testing will show whether higher wait
indicator values are desirable, if the sampling rate needs to change,
or if the function mapping the load measurement to a wait indicator
value should change (currently we map the load average linearly into
the range [10, 128] inclusive).

Add ho_dtap_cache to gsm_subscriber_connection, a stock msgb queue to be used
with msgb_enqueue() and msgb_dequeue().
Keep a counter of queue length, to enforce a sane maximum counter for cached

Have balanced ho_dtap_cache_add() and ho_dtap_cache_flush() functions.
The original patch was by jolly, but I have basically completely replaced it
with the simpler msgb queue pattern.

It is desirable to allow configuring handover for each individual network cell.
At the same time, it is desirable to set global defaults.
Treat the 'network' node handover parameters as global defaults, add another
set of parameters for each individual BTS.
This raises questions on how the 'network' node should affect the individual
BTS. The simplistic solution would have been: on creating a BTS in the config,
just copy the current defaults; with serious drawbacks:
- tweaking any parameter in the telnet VTY on network node will never affect
any running BTS.
- network node defaults *must* be issued before the bts sections in the config
file.
- when writing a config back to file, we would copy all net node defaults to
each BTS node, making the network node configs pointless.
Instead, add a handover_cfg API that tracks whether a given node has a value
set or not. A bts node ho_cfg gets a pointer to the network node config and
returns those values if locally unset. If no value is set on any node, use the
"factory" defaults, which are hardcoded in the API. Only write back exactly
those config items that were actually issued in a config file / on the telnet
VTY. (ho_cfg API wise, we could trivially add another ho_cfg level per TRX if
we so desire in the future.)
Implement ho parameters as an opaque config struct with getters and setters to
ensure the tracking is always heeded. Opaqueness dictates allocating instead of
direct embedding in gsm_network and gsm_bts structs, ctx is gsm_net / bts.
This is 100% backwards compatible to
old configs.
- No VTY command syntax changes (only the online help).
- If a 'bts' sets nothing, it will use the 'network' defaults.
- The 'show network' output only changes in presence of individual BTS configs.
On 'show network', say "Handover: On|Off" as before, iff all BTS reflect
identical behavior. Otherwise, output BTS counts of handover being enabled or
not.
Use the same set of VTY commands (same VTY cmd syntax as before) on network and
BTS nodes, i.e. don't duplicate VTY code. From the current vty->node, figure
out which ho_cfg to modify.
For linking, add handover_cfg.c (the value API) in libcommon, while the
handover_vty.c is in libbsc. This is mainly because some utility programs use
gsm_network and hence suck in the ho stuff, but don't need the VTY commands.
Review the VTY online help strings.
Add VTY transcript test for handover options, testing config propagation from
network to bts nodes, 'show network' output and VTY online help strings.
(Needs recent addition of '... !' wildcard to osmo_interact_common.py.)
I considered leaving parts of this more readable, but in the end decided for
heavy use of macros to define and declare the API, because more values will be
added in upcoming patches and I want to prevent myself from messing them up.

T3109 is started when the BSS sends a RR CHAN REL to the MS and stops
downlink SACCH generation. Stopped when the MS successfully releases the
LAPDm link. After stop or timeout, the radio channel is released using
RSL RF CHAN REL.
Recommended values in literature are 1-2s + RadioLinkTimeout*0.48s or
5s, while we had the absurdly high 19s timeout. This means we occupy
the radio channel way longer than needed in situations where the MS is
no longer able to properly release Layer2 (LAPDm DISC) due to loss of
signal or the like.

Our T3113 timer default of 60s was set early in the development of
OpenBSC, where we didn't really know what values to use and used
excessively large/safe values. Paging the same MS for 60 seconds (even
if there's no paging response) will however create a lot of PCH load for
no good reason.
It seems there's no clear guidance as to what the value should be. Other
implementations use something in the order of 10 seconds (OpenBTS,
yateBTS), which seems more realistic. THe Siemens BS-11 has a default of
5 seconds.
Let's be conservative and go to 10s as a default, which is already 6
times less potential PCH usage than our default so far...

* how many of those were for cells/LACs we don't serve
* how many of those resulted in PAGING RESPONSE
We count on the BTS leve:
* how many PAGING CMD we sent to the BTS (total)
* how many of those we ignored as we were already paging
* how many of those resulted in PAGING RESPONSE
* how many were expired due to T3113 expiring

This timer is started when a channel is allocated with an IMMEDIATE
ASSIGNMENT message. It is stopped when the MS has correctly seized the
channel. Ever since the early days of development we were using a very
long timeout to be on the safe side. However, in production networks
this is a terrible waste of resources, as we will occupy 10s worth
of air-time on one of our channels for each RACH request we receive.
The only scenarios where you might need something absurdly high as 10s
would be if you have 8s of RTT between your BTS and the BSC.

osmo-bsc currently negotiates the RTP stream directly with the
BTS and reports back the RTP IP/Port on the BTS. This works fine
for a single BTS, but for Handover the port/ip pointing to the

the MSC is required.
