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.
Implicitly fix the lchan_activate_infos "launched" in handover_fsm.c as
well as abis_rsl_chan_rqd_queue_poll().

These commands return a listing of OML state, RF policy as well as RSL
connection status for each TRX in the form:
<bts_nr>,<trx_nr>,<opstate>,<adminstate>,<rf_policy>,<rsl_status>;<bts_nr>,<trx_nr>,...
For example, the root node 'rf_states' may return:
0,0,operational,unlocked,on,rsl-up;1,0,operational,unlocked,on,rsl-down;2,0,inoperational,locked,on,rsl-down;
A 'bts.N.rf_states' returns the same form of string, but lists only the
TRX for the given BTS nr.
Note, there is already a CTRL command 'bts.N.rf_state' (singular
'rf_state', not plural 'rf_states'), which only reflects the overall
status of all TRX combined. This new command has per-TRX resolution.
The rf-policy is so far always looked up in the global gsm_network flag,
as does the old 'rf_state' command; see osmo_bsc_rf_get_policy_by_bts()
which does not depend on the specific BTS at all. This may be worth
revisiting in the future, so I am already including the rf-policy in the
rf_state string for each TRX, even though it is globally identical.

While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

This commit extends existing VTY and RSL infrastructure to configure and
manage MS Power Parameters used in MS Power Control loop, by adding
support to set up Carrier-to-Interference (CI) parameters.
Using C/I instead of existing RxQual is preferred due to extended
granularity of C/I (bigger range than RxQual's 0-7).
Furthermore, existing literature (such as "GSM/EDGE: Evolution and Performance"
Table 10.3) provides detailed information about expected target values,
even different values for different channel types. Hence, it was decided
to support setting different MS Power Parameters for different channel
types.
These MS Power Parameters are Osmocom specific, ie. supported only by
newish versions of osmo-bts. Older versions of osmo-bts should ignore
the new IEs added just fine. The new IEs containing the MS POwer
Parameters are not send for non osmo-bts BTSs, hence this commit is
secure with regards to running osmo-bsc against an ip.access BTS such
as nanoBTS.

Usual allocation mechansim, when some signalling channel is needed,
first tries to reserve an SDCCH, and if all of them are exhausted, then
attempts to reserve a TCH as a last resort.
This, however, may cause TCH starvation under certain situations, for
instance if there high load on other services (LU, SMS, etc.).
Hence, it may be desirable for the operator to forbid reservation
of TCH slots once SDCCH become exhausted. This commit is thus adding a
VTY command which allows forbidding it. The default behavior (allow using
TCH timeslots when SDCCHs are exhausted) is kept as before.
The above mentioned prohibition is applied only to non-voicecall related
signalling services. That's because voicecall services will end up
requiring a TCH anyway, and forbidding reservation of TCH straighaway
when SDCCHs are exhausted would mean no voice calls could be initiated
while still TCHs would be available.

The VTY defun already indicates BSC_VTY_ATTR_RESTART_ABIS_OML_LINK

Have bts->interf_meas_params twice: interf_meas_params_cfg for the VTY
configured values, and interf_meas_params_used for the values that the
BTS actually knows about, after they were sent via OML.
In a running BSC, when changing the interference level boundaries on the
telnet VTY, the BTS is not immediately told about the change. That would
require a BTS restart. Hence store the cfg values separately in
interf_meas_params_cfg. For comparing/printing interference levels in a

placed in interf_meas_params_used.

The BCCH carrier (sometimes called C0) of a BTS shall maintain
discontinuous Downlink transmission at full power in order to
stay 'visible' to the mobile stations. Because of that, early
versions of 3GPP TS 45.008 prohibited BS power reduction on C0.
However, starting from version 13.0.0 (2015-11) there is a feature
called 'BCCH carrier power reduction operation'. This is a special
mode of operation, where the variation of RF level for some
timeslots is relaxed for the purpose of energy saving.
In BCCH carrier power reduction operation, for timeslots on the
C0 carrier, except timeslots carrying BCCH/CCCH, the output power
may be lower than the output power used for timeslots carrying
BCCH/CCCH. In this case the maximum allowed difference in output
power actually transmitted by the BTS is 6 dB.
Introduce a VTY command to turn on and off the BCCH carrier power
reduction operation. Also introduce a CTRL command. On the
A-bis/RSL, abuse the BS POWER CONTROL message by setting
the Channel Number IE to 0x80 (RSL_CHAN_BCCH).
Currently, only osmo-bts-trx is supported. A value greater than
zero makes it reduce the power on *inactive* timeslots of the
BCCH carrier. Sending zero disables the BCCH power reduction
mode completely.
For more details, see 3GPP TS 45.008, section 7.1, and 3GPP TR 45.926.

A-bis/RSL link(s) in RF RESource INDication messages.
3GPP TS 45.008 defines the following measurement parameters:
* Intave: Interference Averaging period (see table A.1),
* Interference level Boundaries (see table A.1).
Both parameters are sent to the BTS over the A-bis/OML, and can
now be configured via the VTY interface. Only those BTS models
which 'speak' the OML protocol defined in 3GPP TS 52.021 will
actually get the configured parameters, others will keep using
the hard-coded parameters.

lchan->modify.info.ch_mode_rate should remain unchanged, it is the
immutable request data. However, for VAMOS, we will want to
automatically see that the chan_mode is chosen correctly.
As a first step, place a mutable ch_mode_rate copy at
lchan->modify.ch_mode_rate, i.e. not in .modify.info, but in
.modify. Use that everywhere.
This is a non-functional change, preparing for a subsequent patch that
adds handling of VAMOS shadow lchans.

So far we have a couple of macros iterating a specific number of lchans,
depending on dynamic timeslot state etc. With addition of VAMOS lchans,
this would become more complex and bloated.
Instead of separate iteration macros for each situation, only have one
that takes a number of lchans as argument. That allows to more clearly
pick the number of lchans, especially for non-trivial VAMOS scenarios.

So far the number of usable lchans is determined on-the-fly by the
physical channel config. With VAMOS, this becomes more complex, namely
determining whether the BTS is vamos capable.
Instead of calling a function to determine the number of lchans for
every use, rather place the number of valid lchans in int members of the
timeslot struct, and initialize those during timeslot setup.
Actual use of these new fields will follow in a subsequent patch, which
introduces the ts_for_n_lchans() macro to replace current lchan
iteration macros.

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.

Firstly, do not store the encoded AMR length-value bits in gsm_lchan->*

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

In lchan_mr_config(), introduce a target mr_conf argument, so that Chan

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

Whenever SRVCC EUTRAN->GERAN is performed by the CN, it will set the
Last Used E-UTRAN PLMN Id in order for the BSS to inform the MS

The last part (sending EUTRAN neighs) is already implemented, since same

EUTRAN PLMN Id is recorded for later use.
Actually, in both cases, we end up building the list of neighbors

The effects of the neighbor configuration depend on the LAC, Cell
Identity, ARFCN, BSIC configuration of neighbor cells. Make sure that
the neighbor ARFCN list in the System Information is updated.
This may seem rather aggressive: updating the SI of all BTS if only one
config item changed. But indeed even modifying one config item of one
BTS may cause a change in the neighbor relations that many other BTS may
have to the changed BTS. For example, if many BTS configure a
'neighbor lac-ci 42 23', and this cell's config changes to LAC 43, all
of those other BTS need to update their neighbor ARFCNs.
Also update the system information even before the BTS are connected and
started up. The main benefit here is that the VTY 'show bts N' command
then already lists the correct neighbor ARFCNs.
In gsm_bts_trx_set_system_infos(), make sure that the updated SI is only
sent to TRXes that are actually usable, otherwise abis_rsl_sendmsg()
spams the log with complaints that a message's dst == NULL. Still return
an error rc in case a TRX is not connected, so that the CTRL command
bts.N.send-new-system-informations accurately returns whether SI were
actually sent to all TRXes.
The desire to have the ARFCNs listed in the VTY before starting up BTSes
came during analysis for Ifb54d9a91e9bca032c721f12c873c6216733e7b1,
which fixes a bug that is now much easier to verify being fixed.

Calculating the Cell Allocation (basically a bit-vector of all the
frequencies allocated to a cell) on the OML link establishment has
several downsides and potential problems:
* Theoretically, more than 64 ARFCNs can be allocated for a cell
via the VTY interface. The problem here is that the Mobile
Allocation IE cannot contain more than 64 channels.
* The BSC's operator will neither be warned by the interactive
VTY shell during configuration, nor during the startup.
* The BSC will accept such a configuration, but then will be
unable to encode the Mobile Allocation IEs at run-time.
This change aims to improve the situation by separating part of
the logic from generate_cell_chan_list(), and invoking this
part directly from the VTY commands. This way it will become
impossible to configure more than 64 ARFCNs, neither via the
config file, nor interactively from the VTY.

The neighbor configuration storage is fundamentally broken: it requires
all local cells to be configured before being able to list them as
neighbors of each other. Upon config write-back, the neighbor config
however is placed back inline with the other config, and hence a
written-out neighbor config no longer works on program restart.
The cause of this problem is that the config is stored as explicit
pointers between local cells (struct gsm_bts), which of course requires
the pointer to exist before being able to reference it.
Instead, store the actual configuration that the user entered as-is,
without pointers or references to objects that need to be ready. Resolve
the neighbors every time a neighbor is needed.
Hence the user may enter any config at any place in the config file,
even non-working config (like a BTS number that doesn't exist), and the
relation to actual local or remote neighbor cells is made at runtime.
Abort program startup if the initial neighbor configuration contains
errors.

So far the list of penalty timers was stored for an opaque target
pointer. That was either a gsm_bts pointer for a local BTS, or a cell
identifier list pointer for a remote-BSS cell.
Reasons to refactor penalty timers:
- The cell identifier list pointer came from the neighbor configuration
storage, but the way cell neighbor config is stored will change in a
subsequent patch. There will be no more cell identifier lists there.
- Storing object pointers is inherently unsafe -- if an object gets
removed and another gets allocated, the penalty timer could
theoretically remain in force for an unrelated object.
Rather store penalty timers for specific Cell IDs. Since remote-BSS
neighbors can be requested by a cell identifier *list*, use a
gsm0808_cell_id_list2 as key in the list of penalty timers.
Fix handover_test.c: have different CI for each local BTS. So far it was
the same LAC+CI for all BTSes, which now would make the test fail,
because any penalty timer would appear to apply to all local cells.

On lchan activation, we already know the Timing Advance in most
situations: from the Channel Request RACH, or from a previous lchan in
the same cell. Place this information in lchan->activate.info.ta.
So far, the lchan->last_ta (until recently called rqd_ta) was used to
store the initial TA for channel activation -- move the initial TA to
lchan->activate.info.ta, for proper scoping.
Only an inter-cell handover does not yet know a Timing Advance (until
the Handover Detection RACH is received), so indicate
activate.info.ta_known = false for that case.
If ta_known is false, do not include an Access Delay IE in the Channel
Activation message, ensuring that the BTS does not use an arbitrary TA
that is likely inaccurate.
The effect for OsmoBTS is that we will *not* start the downlink SACCH on
channel activation for inter-cell handover, but will wait for a HO RACH
first, and then use the correct TA when enabling downlink SACCH.

Add bool log argument to lchan_avail_by_type() and omit logging when
passed as false. From handover_decision_2.c, pass 'log' as false, from
all other callers pass true, i.e. for unchanged behavior.
Rationale:
Usually, we use lchan_avail_by_type() to select a new lchan to initiate
actual service. For that, it is interesting to see how osmo-bsc decides
which lchan will be used.
For handover decision 2, we since recently call lchan_avail_by_type()
for each and every handover candidate, to determine whether it will
occupy a dynamic timeslot or not (to know whether we would congest the
other TCH kind). So this happens for each permutation of source lchan
and target cell. That produces a lot of logging, out of proportion of
being useful to the maintainer.

A-bis/RSL code in order to encode MS/BS Power control parameters
for CHANnel ACTIVation and MS/BS POWER CONTROL messages.
- power_ctrl_send_def_params() - this function will be called for
each transceiver on A-bis/RSL link establishment in order to
send default MS/BS Power control parameters.

Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@ubuntu.com> submitted some patches
against downstream osmo-bsc 1.3.0 because some possible null derefences
were detected by the compiler on Ubuntu s390x. Code has eveolved since
then and patch doesn't apply directly anymore, since related code
changed (we now use osmo_count in bsc_subscr_get).
The compiled allegedly claimed some null dereference in gsm_lchan_name.
In general code using that function seems to be doing checks for
existing lchan before calling it, or assuming the lchan pointer is not
null, so I couldn't find any major issue.
However, let's add a OSMO_ASSERT to make sure we can easily identify the
issue if an issue ever happens there, since the gsm_lchan_name should
clearly only be called on non null pointers.

This is needed in order to to proper feature support verification for

Before this patch, Get Attributes was sent quicklyafter the OML link
became up, even if the BTS/BB_TRANSC objects were still powered off,
which is wrong since attributes should only be available after the
objects transition out of the Power off state.
Furthermore, information about get attr response already received will

In our current osmo-bts implementation we don't care much since we only

The gsm_bts_sm is moved to its own file, APIs to allocate are added and

Older osmo-bts versions (before FSMs) tended to mimic broken behavior
from nanoBTS. As so, we detect it because SiteMGr becomes Enabled by
default as in nanoBTS, and hence we can manage them also by expecting no
Offline state and sending Opstart (and hence finally transitting to
Enabled) during Dependency state.

So far we would cancel ongoing Paging for a given MSC only after receiving a
RESET message from that BSC. However, the typical operation would be that
OsmoBSC *sends* a RESET and receives a RESET-ACK.
Instead, move the call to within osmo_bsc_sigtran_reset(). This is also called
when OsmoBSC considers the A-interface link to be lost, from the a_reset.c
code, after multiple SCCP connection failures.

Separate the a_reset FSM implementation from BSSMAP and MSC specifics, so that
it can be re-used on the Lb interface.
Move the FSM implementation to bssmap_reset.c and tweak, to match common practices we
have generally established in our osmo_fsm implementations.
Keep a_reset.h and a_reset.c and redirect to bssmap_reset.c.
A difficulty is setting a proper logging category: the FSM definition allows
only one fixed logging category for FSM state transitions and events. Ideally,
the BSSMAP reset fsm would log on DMSC, and the BSSMAP-LE reset fsm would log
on DLCS. Since that is not possible, introduce a separate DRESET logging
category. This in fact matches an item on my wishlist, because if a given MSC
is configured but currently not connected, the previous RESET FSM would
continuously "spam" log LOGL_NOTICE messages indicating that it is resending
RESET, and I often want to silence those messages without silencing the entire
DMSC category. This is now easily possible by setting DRESET logging to
LOGL_ERROR. There is additional "link up" / "link lost" logging on DMSC, so all
interesting info is still visible on DMSC.

Backwards compatibly, introduce timer groups in OsmoBSC, and move some
non-specified T timers to new X timers:
T993111 -> X3111
T993210 -> X3210
T999 -> X4
Why X4? because there already is an X3 used elsewhere in Osmocom, and I find
it less confusing if X-numbers don't repeat across programs. See
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/List_of_Timer_numbers
Drop unused timers from g_mgw_tdefs. Only X2427 has an actual effect.

when an emergency call arrives while all TCH are busy, the BSC should
pick an arbitrary (preferably the longest lasting) call / lchan and
release it in favor of the incoming emergancy call.
The release of the existing call is a process that can not be done
synchronously while the ChanRQD is handled sonce multiple messages are
exchanged between BTS and MSC and multiple FSMs need to do their work.
To be able to release one lchan while handling a ChanRQD a queue is
implemented in which the incomming channel requests are collected. If
an emergency call is established while all channels are busy, an
arbitrary lchan is picked and freed. When freeing the lchan is done,
the queue is checked again and the emergency call is put on the free
lchan (TCH/H or TCH/F).

- Another patch enables proper handover result handling when receiving a Clear

- After that, the handover_end() handling would always cause sending a Clear

Firstly, make CBSP server and client mutually exclusive: Do not allow osmo-bsc
to be configured as CBC client *and* CBC server at the same time.
cbsp_link.c expects at most one CBSP link to be established, and, upon sending
CBSP messages, probes whether to send the message to a CBSP server or client
link. When both listen-port and remote-ip are configured (regardless of an
actual CBSP connection), osmo-bsc gets confused about where to send CBSP
messages.
One solution would be more accurate probing for an actual established TCP
connection. But the simpler and less confusing solution is to force the user to
configure only server or only client mode, never both.
Introduce 'cbc' / 'mode (server|client|disabled)'.
Secondly, clarify the 'cbc' config structure into distinct 'server' and
'client' subnodes. Refactor the 'cbc' VTY node in such a way that the IP
addresses for server and client mode can remain configured when the CBSP link
is switched between server/client/disabled modes.
To implement the above, switch the struct bsc_cbc_link to use osmo_sockaddr_str
for address configuration.

Prior to this patch, ACC ramping was only used to go 0->N in the
number of allowed ACCs during BTS startup. It could optionally
dynamically stretch or extend the ramping time based on channel load.
With this patch, ACC ramping is kept alive during the entire time the
BTS is active, and subset of allowed ACCs can now be incresed or
decreased based on channel load. A new VTY command
"access-control-class-ramping-chan-load" is added to configure a lower
and an upper threshold. Channel load under the low threshold will
potentially trigger an increment of the subset size of allowed ACCs,
while a channel load over the upper threshold will potentially trigger
the opposite (a decrease in size).
The time between checks is kept fixed per VTY command (reusing old
"access-control-class-ramping-step-size"), but the "dynamic" option
is deprecated and ignored from now on since it provides nothing valuable
in the new implementation, because the size always dynamically changes
based on channel load (configured thresholds).

Place all code related to the object into the related file.
Having all the data model in one file made sense in early stage of
development to make progress quickly, but nowadays it hurts more than
helps, due to constantly growing size and more and more bits being

Currently, having lots of different objects mixed up in gsm_data.h is a hole
of despair, where nobody can make any sense were to properly put new stuff
in, ending up with functions related to same object in different files
or with wrong prefixes, declarations of non-existing functions, etc.
because people cannot make up their mind on strict relation to objects

In various places that receive an error cause from RSL and place it in

In lchan_release(), do not set lchan.release.rsl_error_cause to the RR cause

there should not be a functional difference by this fix.
Propagate the BSSMAP Clear Command cause to the RR Channel Release:
Add struct gscon_clear_cmd_data as event data for GSCON_EV_A_CLEAR_CMD -- so
far it sent the is_csfb flag, add the gsm0808_cause; invoking the event happens
in bssmap_handle_clear_cmd().
Adjust event handling in gscon_fsm_allstate(); there, pass the cause to
gscon_release_lchans(). In gscon_release_lchans(), pass the cause to
gscon_release_lchan(), and then lchan_release(), which sets the new
lchan.release.cause_rr to the passed cause value.
As soon as the lchan FSM enters the proper state, it calls
gsm48_send_rr_release(). There, set the cause value in the encoded message to
lchan.release.cause_rr.
Interworking with osmo-msc: so far, osmo-msc fails to set the Clear Command
cause code for normal release, it just passes 0 which amounts to
GSM0808_CAUSE_RADIO_INTERFACE_MESSAGE_FAILURE. Before this patch, osmo-bsc
always sent GSM48_RR_CAUSE_NORMAL in the RR Channel Release, and after this
patch it will receive 0 == GSM0808_CAUSE_RADIO_INTERFACE_MESSAGE_FAILURE from
osmo-msc and more accurately translate that to GSM48_RR_CAUSE_PROT_ERROR_UNSPC.
This means in practice that we will now see an error cause in RR Channel
Release instead of GSM48_RR_CAUSE_NORMAL when working with osmo-msc. For

Starting from ttcn3-bsc-test-sccplite build #777, it was noticed
that osmo-bsc crashes with the following message:
Assert failed conn->lchan include/osmocom/bsc/gsm_data.h:1376
The cause of this is a recently merged patch that calls conn_get_bts() during
assignment_fsm rate counter dispatch:
"Count assignment rates per BTS as well"
commit b5ccf09fc4
Change-Id I0009e51d4caf68e762138d98e2e23d49acc3cc1a
The root cause being that the assignment_fsm attempts to count an Assignment
event for a BTS after the lchan has already been released and disassociated
from the conn.
The assertion is found in conn_get_bts(), which is used in various places. In
fact, each caller is a potential DoS risk -- though most are in code paths that
are guaranteed to have an lchan and bts present, having an OSMO_ASSERT() on the
relatively volatile presence of an lchan is not a good idea for osmo-bsc's
stability and error resilience.
- Change conn_get_bts() to return NULL in the lack of an lchan.
- Adjust all callers of conn_get_bts() to gracefully handle a NULL return val.
- Same for cgi_for_msc() and callers, closely related.
Here is a backtrace:

In the case of the assignment_fsm counter, we now miss a chance to increase a
BTS counter for a failed Assignment, but this is a separate problem. The main
point of this patch is that osmo-bsc must not crash.

Prepare for MSC pooling by NRI. Before introducing actual NRI decoding and MSC
matching, fix the bsc_find_msc() implementation.
(Indicate the places relevant for NRI by "TODO" comments).
bsc_find_msc() puts an MSC to the end of the internal list of MSCs when it was
used. This has problems:
- Modifying the list affects VTY output, e.g. 'show running-config' and
'show mscs' change their order in which MSCs are shown, depending on how
often a round-robin selection has taken place.
- Emergency calls and normal calls potentially pick quite different sets of
eligible MSCs. When the round-robin choices between these sets affect each
other, the choice is not balanced. For example, if only the first MSC is
allow_emerg == true, every emergency call would reset the round-robin state
to the first MSC in the list, also for normal calls. If there are regular
emergency calls, normal calls will then tend to load more onto the first few
MSCs after those picked for emergency calls.
Fix: Never affect the ordering of MSCs in the internal list of MSCs. Instead,
keep a "next_nr" MSC index and determine the next round-robin target like that.
Keep a separate "next_emerg_nr" MSC index so that emergency call round-robin
does no longer cause normal round-robin to skip MSCs.
Further problems in current bsc_find_msc():
- The "blind:" label should also do round-robin.
- The "paging:" part should not attempt to use disconnected MSCs.
- Both should also heed NRI matches (when they are added).
Fix: instead of code dup, determine Paging Response matching with an earlier
Paging Request right at the start. If that yields no usable MSC, continue into
the normal NRI and round-robin selection.
The loop in this patch is inspired by the upcoming implementation of MSC
pooling by NRI, as indicated by the two TODO comments. The point is that, in
the presence of an NRI from a TMSI identity, we always need to iterate all of
the MSCs to find possible NRI matches. The two round-robin sets (Emergency and
non-Emergency) are determined in the same loop iteration for cases that have no
or match no NRI, or where a matching MSC is currently disconnected.

The separate struct osmo_bsc_data is like another separate struct gsm_network
for no reason. It is labeled "per-BSC data". These days, all of this is a
single BSC and there will not be different sets of osmo_bsc_data.
Drop struct osmo_bsc_data, move its members directly into gsm_network.
Some places tested 'if (net->bsc_data)', which is always true. Modify those
cases to rather do checks like 'if (net->rf_ctrl)', which are also always true
AFAICT, to keep as much unmodified logic as possible in this patch.

Another legacy feature. All that this setting effectively does is prevent MSCs

The BSC is the wrong network component to originate USSD messaging, as can be
seen in the hacks in the USSD code: for example, the BSC would send a CM
Service Accept message as if an MSC had accepted the connection, dispatch a
USSD and directly send some RR release message (without proper tear down
messaging like the lchan_fsm does these days). This made sense in the osmo-nitb
world, but by now we are aiming for solid 3GPP compliance. The BSC shall not
originate USSD messages.
Deprecate all VTY and CTRL commands related to USSD:
VTY
[no] bsc-welcome-text
[no] bsc-msc-lost-text
[no] bsc-grace-text
[no] missing-msc-text
(the commands with 'no' are ignored, without 'no' lead to an error)
CTRL
ussd-notify-v1
Drop (already unused) ussd.h.
Drop gsm_04_80.h, gsm_04_80_utils.c, and all calling code.

subscribers that the RF was being turned off.

It is not entirely clear to me what this used to do once, but I've stumbled
upon this before. By now I am certain that this is a non-standard legacy
feature. The BSC does *not* redirect connections during CC transactions.
Along with this, a bunch of legacy utility functions can be dropped. All of
this is unused code.

Filtering by IMSI in osmo-bsc is a legacy use case with questionable
usefulness. Remove.
Do not keep deprecated VTY commands: those could be dangerous, since
(presumably non-existing) users might assume that the filtering would still be
in place. Rather fail to start osmo-bsc for config with an IMSI ACL.
The IMSI filtering did, if present, provide the logging with an IMSI to print
for the bsc_subscriber. TMSIs should have ended up in logging likewise, which
has never been implemented. The proper way to learn the IMSI would be by the
Common Id message from the MSC. Furthermore, the upcoming MSC pooling feature
will extract the mobile identity again, and will hence make sure that both IMSI
and TMSI identities, as available, end up in the bsc_subscriber and will be
logged again.
So long, IMSI ACL, and thanks for all the fish.

Starting from G12R13 the MCTR swiches to BSC controlled mode. And
although we think we know how to configure it (via MCTR Conf Req),
something doesn't work right and the timeslot configuration is not
accepted. (TS Conf Result shows "Data not according to request").
So as a workaround for now, we use this version of the protocol where
we don't configure the MCTR (it's in "BTS controlled mode") and with
this protocol, the BTS accepts our timeslot config and we can bring
the system up.
This commit add a generic option to limit either OML or RSL IWD
version to any value. It also keeps track of the actual negotation
version so we can react to it in other places of the code.

According to 3GPP TS 44.060, section 12.24, GPRS Cell Options IE
contains two parameters related to 11 bit Access Burst support:
- ACCESS_BURST_TYPE - whether the 8 or 11 bit format shall be
used in the PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message, the PTCCH/U block,
PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the PS HANDOVER ACCESS
messages on the PRACH (if present).
- EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST - whether EGPRS capable MSs shall
use EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message for Uplink TBF
establishment on the RACH or on the PRACH (if present).
The VTY option 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs' actually controls
the second parameter - EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST, though it may
be hard to understand this from its name and description.
This patch is actually a group of tightly related changes:
- deprecate 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs (0|1)':
- update its description to avoid any possible confusion,
- print a warning if it's used in non-EGPRS mode,
- print a warning if it's still used;
- introduce '[no] gprs egprs-packet-channel-request':
- ensure that it can only set / printed in the EGPRS mode;
- take a chance to clean-up / rename the related struct members:
- 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' -> bool 'egprs_pkt_chan_request',
- remove 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' from 'gprs_cell_options'
because we already have 'ext_info.use_egprs_p_ch_req' there.
