This patch modifies openBSC code to use msg->dst which stores the
pointer to the signalling link structure instead of the pointer to
the transceiver structure.
This patch prepares the introduction of libosmo-abis.
The timer callback will simply reset the lchan state to NONE in order
to prevent channels getting stuck in 'activation requested' or
'deactivation requested' states.
Scenario: BTS are configured and working, then the BSC stops working
for some reason (crash or administrative stop).
If the BSC comes back to life, LAPD among other things does not know
about the previous existing TEIs. Instead of ignoring these frames,
we notify the driver that we are seeing frames with unknown TEIs, so
it can try to recover, e.g. by resending the SABM message.
The MS Radio Access Capability IE can be _very_ long in some recent
high-end mobile phones, way beyond the old 14-byte limit. We increase
our array to 52 bytes, and make sure not to overflow that buffer.
The idea that MCC and MNC is enough to classify a subscriber
turns out to be wrong. Certain operatos license a number range
of IMSIs to others. When we see a '^' in the MCC field we treat
it as a regexp. The code now turns the MCC/MNC into a regexp
for the IMSI. It is not using extended POSIX regexp to match
the behavior of the access list.
This should not introduce any functional changes, it just re-arranges
some definitions in the header file, and introduces the ROLE_BSC
define that we enable for the BSC-specific fields.
The daemons set up nanoBTS and HSL femto sockets by default, ie. the
three sockets to support these two drivers are open even if we have
no BTS of that kind.
This patch enables on-demand socket creation, ie. we only enable them
if we have one BTS at least that requires it.
I added two new attributes to the gsm_bts object, they are:
* the start() function includes the code that we need to run to start
the BTS. This new function contains the socket creation in the
particular case of nanoBTS and HSL femto.
* the started boolean, which is used to know if we have already
started the BTS, ie. we have already invoked start().
Note that, I have splitted the bts_model_*_init() function into two
functions, the _init() functions that register the BTS driver
and the _start() functions that start BTS driver on-demand.
While I was at it, I added several changes/cleanups to this patch:
* Group all bts_model_*_init() calls into one function bts_init(),
which is called in the initialization path of osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc.
* Add openbsc/bss.h that contains the declaration of
bsc_bootstrap_network, bsc_shutdown_net and bts_init.
* Add missing e1inp_init() in osmo-bsc.
* Fix missing declaration of hsl_setup in openbsc/e1_input.h
Introduce a paging group that a BSC can refer to and is used
during the LAC lookup. This way paging can be flooded through
the network and just filtered at the last element in the core.
