The idea of ts_alloc()/ts_free() dates back to the very early days of
OpenBSC, where we didn't yet have a fixed PCHAN type assigned for every
lchan in a BTS. However, ever since, PCHAN types (channel combinations)
are configured by OML in a certain way, and we only allocate LCHANs
inside PCHANs of a matching type. There should be no PCHANs with
type GSM_PCHAN_NONE, unless those that you don't want to use for
administraive reasons or the like.
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.
Currently every subcriber object directly refers to the gsm_network
which contains a flag shared by every related subscriber
(keep_subscr). This adds a dependency on gsm_network even if only the
function defined in gsm_subscriber_base.c are used.
This patch adds a new struct gsm_subscriber_group which contains the
keep_subscr flag and a back reference to the network object. The
latter is not dereferenced in gsm_subscriber_base.c, so it can safely
be set to NULL when only that part of the gsm_subscriber API is being
used. It also changes that API to use gsm_subscriber_group instead of
gsm_network parameters.
Since there are some places where a pointer to the gsm_network is
needed but where only a gsm_subscriber is available, a 'net' back
pointer is added to the group struct, too. Nevertheless subscr group
and network could be separated completely, but this is not the topic
of this commit.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the best approach. However,
there are phones that send a RACH request for TCH/F on MO calls, even
though they actually do support TCH/H channels.
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.
* 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
In case of a reset (loss of the BTS) close down all remaining
RTP Proxy sockets. In case of a lchan_free shout if the rtp
proxy is still open. I would prefer if the proxy code sits inside
the gsm subscriber connection.
In case of a failed channel we still want the channel to not be
re-allocated right away but keep it closed/unused for (T3109 + T311).
rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel_ack has a check to not set the channel to S_NONE in
case the channel is in the error state. Add the camp Harald added a timer
to set the channel back to the none state in case the RF Channel Release
is not acked.
This reverts commit fc462dd59e.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]
