Jacob Erlbeck 81ffb740f7 sgsn: Remove inactive LLME/MM after inactivity timeout
Currently old LLMEs and MM contexts that haven't been explicitly
detached or cancelled are not removed until another request with the
same IMSI is made. These stale entries may accumulate over time and
severely compromise the operation of the SGSN.

This patch implements age based LLME expiry, when the maximum age has
been reached, the corresponding MM context is cancelled. If such an MM
context doesn't exist, the LLME is unassigned directly.

The implementation works as follows.
 - llme->age_timestamp is reset on each received PTP LLC message
 - sgsn_llme_check_cb is invoked periodically (each 30s)
 - sgsn_llme_check_cb sets the age_timestamp to the current time if
   it has been reset
 - sgsn_llme_check_cb computes the age and expires the LLME if
   it exceeds gprs_max_time_to_idle()

About OpenBSC
=============

OpenBSC is a minimalistic implementation of the GSM Network, with
particular emphasis on the functionality typically provided by the BSC,
MSC, HLR, VLR and SMSC.

Its currently supported interfaces towards the BTS are:

 * Classic A-bis over E1 using a mISDN based E1 interface. In other
   words, you can connect existing GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
   through E1 to OpenBSC.  So far, we have only tested the Siemens BS-11
   Test reports with other BTS are much appreciated!

 * A-bis over IP as used by the ip.access nanoBTS product family

You can find the project documentation at http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/

This project is still in its early days, and there are lots of areas where it
doesn't behave as per GSM spec.

libosmocore
===========

Please note that as of March 2010, OpenBSC has a dependency to a library
called "libosmocore".  You can obtain that library from

	git://git.osmocom.org/libosmocore.git
