Add external dependency libnftables.
When an hNodeB registers, set up nftables rules to count GTP-U packets
(UDP port 2152) to and from that hNodeB's address -- we are assuming
that it is the same address that Iuh is connecting from.
This is a "workaround" to get performance indicators per hNodeB, without
needing a UPF that supports URR.
This patch reads counters from the nftables response using "manual"
string parsing. See also Id4e7fa017c31945388a010d8581715d71482116b which
modifies this to full JSON parsing.

Add rate_ctr based statistics for RAB activation, deactivation and
failures. This requires us to parse RANAP in both uplink and downlink
and to iterate deep into the setup/modify/release/failure lists.
Given the way how the protocol works, the only way to distinguish an
activation from a modification is because sender and recipient know
whether a given RAB is already active at the time of the message. So we
also need to track the activation state of each RAB.

Allow configuring specific Network Instance names for the Core and
Access sides, to send to the UPF, to allow the UPF to pick the proper
network interface to create GTP tunnels on.
Add VTY cfg 'hnbgw' / 'pfcp' / 'netinst (access|core) NAME' to allow
configuring Network Interface values to send in PFCP. These are "dotted"
domain name strings, as in APN.
Add these Network Interface names to the PFCP messages' detection as
well as forwarding rules, each one indicating the side that it is
detecting on or forwarding to.
This helps lift osmo-hnbgw's PFCP support out of lab situations to a
proper production scenario, where the core and access networks are in
separate subnets, with osmo-hnbgw + UPF as the gateway.
For example, in osmo-hnbgw, configure
hnbgw
pfcp
netinst access my-ran
netinst core my-core
and in osmo-upf, configure
netinst
add my-ran 10.9.8.7
add my-core 1.2.3.4
In effect, all GTP tunnel endpoints towards the Access side will be
bound on 10.9.8.7, and all GTP tunnel endpoints towards the Core side
will be bound on 1.2.3.4.

According to 3GPP TS 25.413 8.26.2.2, "The RNC shall include the Global

otherwise.
Subsequent patches will separately add the RNC-ID to the RANAP RESET

As simple as it may seem, turning the RANAP CS/PS domain indicator to a

accurate we should also expect invalid values. After the umpteenth

- Use that global g_hnbgw as talloc root context, instead of passing a

DRUA DEBUG TTCN3 HNodeB transmitting RUA DirectTransfer

us sending RUA to the hNodeB, which is much clearer like this:
DRUA DEBUG (TTCN3 HNodeB) transmitting RUA DirectTransfer

Refactor the entire RUA <-> SCCP connection-oriented message forwarding:
- conquer confusion about hnbgw_context_map release behavior, and
- eradicate SCCP connection leaks.
Finer points:
== Context map state ==
So far, we had a single context map state and some flags to keep track
of both the RUA and the SCCP connections. It was easy to miss connection
cleanup steps, especially on the SCCP side.
Instead, the two FSMs clearly define the RUA and SCCP conn states
separately, and each side takes care of its own release needs for all
possible scenarios.
- When both RUA and SCCP are released, the context map is discarded.
- A context map can stay around to wait for proper SCCP release, even if
the RUA side has lost the HNB connection.
- Completely drop the async "context mapper garbage collection", because
the FSMs clarify the release and free steps, synchronously.
- We still keep a (simplified) enum for global context map state, but
this is only used so that VTY reporting remains mostly unchanged.
== Context map cleanup confusion ==
The function context_map_hnb_released() was the general cleanup function
for a context map. Instead, add separate context_map_free().
== Free context maps separately from HNB ==
When a HNB releases, talloc_steal() the context maps out of the HNB
specific hnb_ctx, so that they are not freed along with the HNB state,
possibly leaving SCCP connections afloat.
(It is still nice to normally keep context maps as talloc children of
their respective hnb_ctx, so talloc reports show which belongs to
which.)
So far, context map handling found the global hnb_gw pointer via
map->hnb_ctx->gw. But in fact, a HNB may disappear at any point in time.
Instead, use a separate hnb_gw pointer in map->gw.
== RUA procedure codes vs. SCCP prims ==
So far, the RUA rx side composed SCCP prims to pass on:
RUA rx ---SCCP-prim--> RANAP handling ---SCCP-prim--> SCCP tx
That is a source of confusion: a RUA procedure code should not translate
1:1 to SCCP prims, especially for RUA id-Disconnect (see release charts
below).
Instead, move SCCP prim composition over to the SCCP side, using FSM
events to forward:
RUA rx --event--> RUA FSM --event--> SCCP FSM --SCCP-prim--> SCCP tx
+RANAP +RANAP +RANAP
RUA tx <--RUA---- RUA FSM <--event-- SCCP FSM <--event-- SCCP rx
+RANAP +RANAP +RANAP
Hence choose the correct prim according to the SCCP FSM state.
- in hnbgw_rua.c, use RUA procedure codes, not prim types.
- via the new FSM events' data args, pass msgb containing RANAP PDUs.
== Fix SCCP Release behavior ==
So far, the normal conn release behavior was
HNB HNBGW CN
| --id-Disconnect--> | ---SCCP-Released--> | Iu-ReleaseComplete
| | <--SCCP-RLC-------- | (no data)
Instead, the SCCP release is now in accordance with 3GPP TS 48.006 9.2
'Connection release':
The MSC sends a SCCP released message. This message shall not contain
any user data field.
i.e.:
HNB HNBGW CN
| --id-Disconnect--> | ---Data-Form-1(!)--> | Iu-ReleaseComplete
| | <--SCCP-Released---- | (no data)
| | ---SCCP-RLC--------> | (no data)
(Side note, the final SCCP Release Confirm step is taken care of
implicitly by libosmo-sigtran's sccp_scoc.c FSM.)
If the CN fails to respond with SCCP-Released, on new X31 timeout,
osmo-hnbgw will send an SCCP Released to the CN as fallback.
== Memory model for message dispatch ==
So far, an osmo_scu_prim aka "oph" was passed between RUA and SCCP
handling code, and the final dispatch freed it. Every error path had to
take care not to leak any oph.
Instead, use a much easier and much more leakage proof memory model,
inspired by fixeria:
- on rx, dispatch RANAP msgb that live in OTC_SELECT.
- no code path needs to msgb_free() -- the msgb is discarded via
OTC_SELECT when handling is done, error or no error.
- any code path may also choose to store the msgb for async dispatch,
using talloc_steal(). The user plane mapping via MGW and UPF do that.
- if any code path does msgb_free(), that would be no problem either
(but none do so now, for simplicity).
== Layer separation ==
Dispatch *all* connection-oriented RUA tx via the RUA FSM and SCCP tx
via the SCCP FSM, do not call rua_tx_dt() or osmo_sccp_user_sap_down()
directly.
== Memory model for decoded ranap_message IEs ==
Use a talloc destructor to make sure that the ranap_message IEs are
always implicitly freed upon talloc_free(), so that no code path can
possibly forget to do so.
== Implicit cleanup by talloc ==
Use talloc scoping to remove a bunch of explicit cleanup code. For
example, make a chached message a talloc child of its handler:
talloc_steal(mgw_fsm_priv, message);
mgw_fsm_priv->ranap_rab_ass_req_message = message;
and later implicitly free 'message' by only freeing the handler:
talloc_free(mgw_fsm_priv)

User reports show leaked UE contexts over time, in a scenario where HNB
regularly disconnect and reconnect.
So far, when we receive a HNB REGISTER REQ, we log as "duplicated" and
continue to use the hnb_context unchanged. But it seems obvious that a
HNB that registers does not expect any UE state to remain. It will
obviously not tear down UE contexts (HNBAP or RUA) that have been
established before the HNB REGISTER REQUEST. These hence remain in
osmo-hnbgw indefinitely.
When receiving a HNB REGISTER REQUEST, release all its previous UE
state. Allow the HNB to register with a clean slate.
The aim is to alleviate the observed build-up of apparently orphaned UE
contexts, in order to avoid gradual memory exhaustion.

It is reported that a third-party SGSN is rejecting SCCP CR when the
SCCP message part exceeds a certain length. The solution is to first
send an SCCP CR without payload, and send the payload in a DT later.
Add config option
hnbgw
sccp cr max-payload-len <0-999999>
If the RANAP payload surpasses the given length, osmo-hnbgw will first
send an SCCP CR without payload, cache the RANAP payload, and put that
in an SCCP DT once the SCCP CC is received.
The original idea was to limit the size of the entire SCCP part of the
message, but I'm currently not sure how to determine that without
copying much of the osmo_sccp code. I figured using a limit on the RANAP
payload is sufficient. To avoid the error with above third-party SGSN,
the easy solution is to set max-payload-len to 0, so that we always get
a separate SCCP CR without payload.
