Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

src: port openBSC over libosmo-abis This is a big patch that ports openBSC over libosmo-abis. Sorry, the changes that are included here are all dependent of libosmo-abis, splitting them into smaller pieces would leave the repository in some intermediate state, which is not desired. The main changes are: - The directory libabis/ has been removed as it now lives in libosmo-abis. - new configuration file format for nanoBTS and HSL femto, we need to define the virtual e1_line and attach it to the OML link. - all the existing BTS drivers (nanoBTS, hsl femto, Nokia site, BS11 and rbs2000) now use the new libosmo-abis framework. - use r232 input driver available in libosmo-abis for bs11_config. - use ipa_msg_recv instead of old ipaccess_read_msg function. - delete definition of gsm_e1_subslot and input_signal_data. These structures now lives in libosmo-abis. Most of this patch are deletions of libabis/ which has been moved to libosmo-abis. This patch also modifies openBSC to use all the new definitions available in libosmocore and libosmo-abis. In order to do that, we have replaced the following: - DINP, DMI, DMIB and DMUX by their respective DL* correspondences. - SS_GLOBAL by SS_L_GLOBAL - SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT - S_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN by S_L_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN - SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT - S_INP_* by S_L_INP_* sub-signals - E1INP_NODE by L_E1INP_NODE vty node This patch has been tested with: - one nanoBTS - the HSL femto with the examples available under libosmo-abis - BS11 with both dahdi and misdn drivers.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

mscsplit: various preparations to separate MSC from BSC Disable large parts of the code that depend on BSC presence. The code sections disabled by #if BEFORE_MSCSPLIT shall be modified or dropped in the course of adding the A-interface. Don't set msg->lchan nor msg->dst. Don't use lchan in libmsc. Decouple lac from bts. Prepare entry/exit point for MSC -> BSC and MSC -> RNC communication: Add msc_ifaces.[hc], a_iface.c, with a general msc_tx_dtap() to redirect to different interfaces depending on the actual subscriber connection. While iu_tx() is going to be functional fairly soon, the a_tx() is going to be just a dummy for some time (see comment). Add Iu specific fields in gsm_subscriber_connection: the UE connection pointer and an indicator for the Integrity Protection status on Iu (to be fully implemented in later commits). Add lac member to gsm_subscriber_connection, to allow decoupling from bts->location_area_code. The conn->lac will actually be set in iu.c in an upcoming commit ("add iucs.[hc]"). move to libcommon-cs: gsm48_extract_mi(), gsm48_paging_extract_mi(). libmsc: duplicate gsm0808 / gsm48 functions (towards BSC). In osmo-nitb, libmsc would directly call the functions on the BSC level, not always via the bsc_api. When separating libmsc from libbsc, some functions are missing from the linkage. Hence duplicate these functions to libmsc, add an msc_ prefix for clarity, also add a _tx to gsm0808_cipher_mode(): * add msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() (dummy/stub) * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Call these from libmsc instead of * gsm0808_cipher_mode() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Also add a comment related to msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() in two places. Remove internal RTP streaming code; OsmoNITB supported that, but for OsmoMSC, this will be done with an external MGCP gateway. Remove LCHAN_MODIFY from internal MNCC state machine. Temporarily disable all paging to be able to link libmsc without libbsc. Skip the paging part of channel_test because the paging is now disabled. Employ fake paging shims in order for msc_vlr_tests to still work. msc_compl_l3(): publish in .h, tweak return value. Use new libmsc enum values for return val, to avoid dependency on libbsc headers. Make callable from other scopes: publish in osmo_msc.h and remove 'static' in osmo_msc.c add gsm_encr to subscr_conn move subscr_request to gsm_subscriber.h subscr_request_channel() -> subscr_request_conn() move to libmsc: osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds() gsm_04_08: remove apply_codec_restrictions() gsm0408_test: use NULL for root ctx move to libbsc: gsm_bts_neighbor() move to libbsc: lchan_next_meas_rep() move vty config for t3212 to network level (periodic lu) remove unneccessary linking from some tests remove handle_abisip_signal() abis_rsl.c: don't use libvlr from libbsc gsm_subscriber_connection: put the LAC here, so that it is available without accessing conn->bts. In bsc_api.c, place this lac in conn for the sake of transition: Iu and A will use this new field to pass the LAC around, but in a completely separate OsmoBSC this is not actually needed. It can be removed again from osmo-bsc.git when the time has come. Siemens MRPCI: completely drop sending the MRPCI messages for now, they shall be added in osmo-bsc once the A-Interface code has settled. See OS#2389.

Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side.

Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

refactor subscr_conn and subscr_conn_fsm de-/alloc Refactor: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Details: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence: Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn as soon as the FSM terminates. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release". A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(), without needing to trigger release in each code path. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching events, to achieve a use_count decrement. Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero. As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly. These exceptions: - The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again. Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count during the AUTH_CIPH state.) - A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS. Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending. - While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on itself. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to release. (An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.) 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph outcomes actually show in the counters.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

refactor log ctx for vlr_subscr and ran_conn ran_conn_get_conn_id(): instead of a talloc allocated string, return a static buffer in ran_conn_get_conn_id(). So far this function had no callers. Refactor ran_conn_update_id() API: during early L3-Complete, when no subscriber is associated yet, update the FSM Id by the MI type seen in the L3 Complete message: ran_conn_update_id_from_mi(). Later on set the vsub and re-update. Call vlr.ops->subscr_update when the TMSI is updated, so that log context includes the TMSI from then on. Enrich context for vlr_subscr_name and ran_conn fi name. Include all available information in vlr_subscr_name(); instead of either IMSI or MSISDN or TMSI, print all of them when present. Instead of a short log, rather have more valuable context. A context info would now look like: Process_Access_Request_VLR(IMSI-901700000014706:MSISDN-2023:TMSI-0x08BDE4EC:GERAN-A-3:PAGING_RESP) It does get quite long, but ensures easy correlation of any BSSAP / IuCS messages with log output, especially if multiple subscribers are busy at the same time. Print TMSI and TMSInew in uppercase hexadecimal, which is the typical representation in the telecom world. When showing the RAN conn id GERAN_A-00000017 becomes GERAN-A-23 - We usually write the conn_id in decimal. - Leading zeros are clutter and might suggest hexadecimal format. - 'GERAN-A' and 'UTRAN-Iu' are the strings defined by osmo_rat_type_name().

This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already.

If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn Store all Classmark information in the VLR. So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported" because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1. Rationale: During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1. In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1 available at all. During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1 is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections. The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1 is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not* support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things. This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

refactor subscr_conn and subscr_conn_fsm de-/alloc Refactor: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Details: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence: Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn as soon as the FSM terminates. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release". A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(), without needing to trigger release in each code path. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching events, to achieve a use_count decrement. Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero. As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly. These exceptions: - The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again. Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count during the AUTH_CIPH state.) - A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS. Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending. - While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on itself. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to release. (An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.) 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph outcomes actually show in the counters.

mscsplit: various preparations to separate MSC from BSC Disable large parts of the code that depend on BSC presence. The code sections disabled by #if BEFORE_MSCSPLIT shall be modified or dropped in the course of adding the A-interface. Don't set msg->lchan nor msg->dst. Don't use lchan in libmsc. Decouple lac from bts. Prepare entry/exit point for MSC -> BSC and MSC -> RNC communication: Add msc_ifaces.[hc], a_iface.c, with a general msc_tx_dtap() to redirect to different interfaces depending on the actual subscriber connection. While iu_tx() is going to be functional fairly soon, the a_tx() is going to be just a dummy for some time (see comment). Add Iu specific fields in gsm_subscriber_connection: the UE connection pointer and an indicator for the Integrity Protection status on Iu (to be fully implemented in later commits). Add lac member to gsm_subscriber_connection, to allow decoupling from bts->location_area_code. The conn->lac will actually be set in iu.c in an upcoming commit ("add iucs.[hc]"). move to libcommon-cs: gsm48_extract_mi(), gsm48_paging_extract_mi(). libmsc: duplicate gsm0808 / gsm48 functions (towards BSC). In osmo-nitb, libmsc would directly call the functions on the BSC level, not always via the bsc_api. When separating libmsc from libbsc, some functions are missing from the linkage. Hence duplicate these functions to libmsc, add an msc_ prefix for clarity, also add a _tx to gsm0808_cipher_mode(): * add msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() (dummy/stub) * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * add msc_gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Call these from libmsc instead of * gsm0808_cipher_mode() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_ack() * gsm48_tx_mm_serv_rej() Also add a comment related to msc_gsm0808_tx_cipher_mode() in two places. Remove internal RTP streaming code; OsmoNITB supported that, but for OsmoMSC, this will be done with an external MGCP gateway. Remove LCHAN_MODIFY from internal MNCC state machine. Temporarily disable all paging to be able to link libmsc without libbsc. Skip the paging part of channel_test because the paging is now disabled. Employ fake paging shims in order for msc_vlr_tests to still work. msc_compl_l3(): publish in .h, tweak return value. Use new libmsc enum values for return val, to avoid dependency on libbsc headers. Make callable from other scopes: publish in osmo_msc.h and remove 'static' in osmo_msc.c add gsm_encr to subscr_conn move subscr_request to gsm_subscriber.h subscr_request_channel() -> subscr_request_conn() move to libmsc: osmo_stats_vty_add_cmds() gsm_04_08: remove apply_codec_restrictions() gsm0408_test: use NULL for root ctx move to libbsc: gsm_bts_neighbor() move to libbsc: lchan_next_meas_rep() move vty config for t3212 to network level (periodic lu) remove unneccessary linking from some tests remove handle_abisip_signal() abis_rsl.c: don't use libvlr from libbsc gsm_subscriber_connection: put the LAC here, so that it is available without accessing conn->bts. In bsc_api.c, place this lac in conn for the sake of transition: Iu and A will use this new field to pass the LAC around, but in a completely separate OsmoBSC this is not actually needed. It can be removed again from osmo-bsc.git when the time has come.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

refactor subscr_conn and subscr_conn_fsm de-/alloc Refactor: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Details: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence: Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn as soon as the FSM terminates. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release". A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(), without needing to trigger release in each code path. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching events, to achieve a use_count decrement. Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero. As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly. These exceptions: - The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again. Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count during the AUTH_CIPH state.) - A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS. Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending. - While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on itself. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to release. (An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.) 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph outcomes actually show in the counters.

So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

refactor log ctx for vlr_subscr and ran_conn ran_conn_get_conn_id(): instead of a talloc allocated string, return a static buffer in ran_conn_get_conn_id(). So far this function had no callers. Refactor ran_conn_update_id() API: during early L3-Complete, when no subscriber is associated yet, update the FSM Id by the MI type seen in the L3 Complete message: ran_conn_update_id_from_mi(). Later on set the vsub and re-update. Call vlr.ops->subscr_update when the TMSI is updated, so that log context includes the TMSI from then on. Enrich context for vlr_subscr_name and ran_conn fi name. Include all available information in vlr_subscr_name(); instead of either IMSI or MSISDN or TMSI, print all of them when present. Instead of a short log, rather have more valuable context. A context info would now look like: Process_Access_Request_VLR(IMSI-901700000014706:MSISDN-2023:TMSI-0x08BDE4EC:GERAN-A-3:PAGING_RESP) It does get quite long, but ensures easy correlation of any BSSAP / IuCS messages with log output, especially if multiple subscribers are busy at the same time. Print TMSI and TMSInew in uppercase hexadecimal, which is the typical representation in the telecom world. When showing the RAN conn id GERAN_A-00000017 becomes GERAN-A-23 - We usually write the conn_id in decimal. - Leading zeros are clutter and might suggest hexadecimal format. - 'GERAN-A' and 'UTRAN-Iu' are the strings defined by osmo_rat_type_name().

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

refactor subscr_conn and subscr_conn_fsm de-/alloc Refactor: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Details: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence: Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn as soon as the FSM terminates. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release". A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(), without needing to trigger release in each code path. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching events, to achieve a use_count decrement. Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero. As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly. These exceptions: - The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again. Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count during the AUTH_CIPH state.) - A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS. Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending. - While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on itself. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to release. (An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.) 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph outcomes actually show in the counters.

But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn Store all Classmark information in the VLR. So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported" because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1. Rationale: During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1. In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1 available at all. During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1 is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections. The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1 is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not* support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things. This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram.

A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn Store all Classmark information in the VLR. So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported" because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1. Rationale: During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1. In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1 available at all. During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1 is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections. The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1 is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not* support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things. This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections.

MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side.

MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS.

/* Receive a GSM 04.08 Mobility Management (MM) message */
large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite.

case GSM48_MT_MM_AUTH_RESP:
large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn Store all Classmark information in the VLR. So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported" because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1. Rationale: During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1. In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1 available at all. During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1 is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections. The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1 is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not* support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things. This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

refactor subscr_conn and subscr_conn_fsm de-/alloc Refactor: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Details: 1. Glue the gsm_subscriber_connection alloc to the subscr_conn_fsm. Historically, a gsm_subscriber_connection was allocated in libbsc land, and only upon Complete Layer 3 did libmsc add the fsm instance. After splitting openbsc.git into a separate osmo-msc, this is no longer necessary, hence: Closely tie gsm_subscriber_connection allocation to the subscr_conn_fsm instance: talloc the conn as a child of the FSM instance, and discard the conn as soon as the FSM terminates. 2. Add separate AUTH_CIPH state to the FSM. Decoding the Complete Layer 3 message is distinctly separate from waiting for the VLR FSMs to conclude. Use the NEW state as "we don't know if this is a valid message yet", and the AUTH_CIPH state as "evaluating, don't release". A profound effect of this: should we for any odd reason fail to leave the FSM's NEW state, the conn will be released right at the end of msc_compl_l3(), without needing to trigger release in each code path. 3. Use conn->use_count to trigger conn release. Before, the FSM itself would hold a use count on the conn, and hence we would need to ask it whether it is ready to release the conn yet by dispatching events, to achieve a use_count decrement. Instead, unite the FSM instance and conn, and do not hold a use count by the FSM. Hence, trigger an FSM "UNUSED" event only when the use_count reaches zero. As long as use counts are done correctly, the FSM will terminate correctly. These exceptions: - The new AUTH_CIPH state explicitly ignores UNUSED events, since we expect the use count to reach zero while evaluating Authentication and Ciphering. (I experimented with holding a use count by AUTH_CIPH onenter() and releasing by onleave(), but the use count and thus the conn are released before the next state can initiate transactions that would increment the use count again. Same thing for the VLR FSMs holding a use count, they should be done before we advance to the next state. The easiest is to simply expect zero use count during the AUTH_CIPH state.) - A CM Service Request means that even though the MSC would be through with all it wants to do, we shall still wait for a request to follow from the MS. Hence the FSM holds a use count on itself while a CM Service is pending. - While waiting for a Release/Clear Complete, the FSM holds a use count on itself. 4. Add separate RELEASING state to the FSM. If we decide to release for other reasons than a use count reaching zero, we still need to be able to wait for the msc_dtap() use count on the conn to release. (An upcoming patch will further use the RELEASING state to properly wait for Clear Complete / Release Complete messages.) 5. Add rate counters for each of the three Complete Layer 3 types. Besides LU, also count CM Service Request and Paging Response acceptance/rejections. Without these counters, only very few of the auth+ciph outcomes actually show in the counters.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers.

MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

store classmark in vlr_subscr, not conn Store all Classmark information in the VLR. So, we now always know the Classmark 1 (mandatory IE for LU). This is visible in the msc_vlr_tests -- they no longer indicate "assuming A5/1 is supported" because classmark 1 is missing, because we now know the Classmark 1. Rationale: During Location Updating, we receive Classmark 1; during CM Service Request and Paging Response, we receive Classmark 2. So far we stored these only for the duration of the conn, so as soon as a LU is complete, we would forget CM1. In other words, for anything else than a LU Request, we had no Classmark 1 available at all. During Ciphering Mode Command, we rely on Classmark 1 to determine whether A5/1 is supported. That is moot if we don't even have a Classmark 1 for any CM Service Request or Paging Response initiated connections. The only reason that A5/1 worked is that we assume A5/1 to work if Classmark 1 is missing. To add to the confusion, if a phone indicated that it did *not* support A5/1 in the Classmark 1, according to spec we're supposed to not service it at all. A code comment however says that we instead want to heed the flag -- which so far was only present in a Location Updating initiated connection. Now we can make this decision without assuming things. This got my attention while hacking on sending a BSSMAP Classmark Request from the MSC if it finds missing Classmark information, and was surprised to see it it lacking CM1 to decide about A5/1.

The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated.

SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached.

It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

/* VLR asks us to transmit a CM Service Reject */
large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE.

However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout. Originated in osmo-bsc, recently moved to libosmocore.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE.

(TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers. BSC MGW PBX CI CI [MGW-endpoint] [--rtp_stream--] [--rtp_stream--] [----------------call_leg----------------] * Use counts Introduce using the new osmo_use_count API added to libosmocore for this purpose. Each use token has a distinct name in the logging, which can be a globally constant name or ad-hoc, like the local __func__ string constant. Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

Use libvlr in libmsc (large refactoring) Original libvlr code is by Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>, polished and tweaked by Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr@sysmocom.de>. This is a long series of trial-and-error development collapsed in one patch. This may be split in smaller commits if reviewers prefer that. If we can keep it as one, we have saved ourselves the additional separation work. SMS: The SQL based lookup of SMS for attached subscribers no longer works since the SQL database no longer has the subscriber data. Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached. This is not very beautiful, but is merely intended to carry us over to a time when we have a proper separate SMSC entity. Introduce gsm_subscriber_connection ref-counting in libmsc. Remove/Disable VTY and CTRL commands to create subscribers, which is now a task of the OsmoHLR. Adjust the python tests accordingly. Remove VTY cmd subscriber-keep-in-ram. Use OSMO_GSUP_PORT = 4222 instead of 2222. See I4222e21686c823985be8ff1f16b1182be8ad6175. So far use the LAC from conn->bts, will be replaced by conn->lac in Id3705236350d5f69e447046b0a764bbabc3d493c. Related: OS#1592 OS#1974 Change-Id: I639544a6cdda77a3aafc4e3446a55393f60e4050

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now.

However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified. Note that SGs does not qualify for RAN abstraction: the SGs interface always remains with the MSC-A role, and SGs messages follow quite distinct semantics from the fairly similar GERAN and UTRAN. * MGW and RTP stream management So far, managing MGW endpoints via MGCP was tightly glued in-between GSM-04.08-CC on the one and MNCC on the other side. Prepare for switching RTP streams between different RAN peers by moving to object-oriented implementations: implement struct call_leg and struct rtp_stream with distinct FSMs each. For MGW communication, use the osmo_mgcpc_ep API that has originated from osmo-bsc and recently moved to libosmo-mgcp-client for this purpose. Instead of implementing a sequence of events with code duplication for the RAN and CN sides, the idea is to manage each RTP stream separately by firing and receiving events as soon as codecs and RTP ports are negotiated, and letting the individual FSMs take care of the MGW management "asynchronously". The caller provides event IDs and an FSM instance that should be notified of RTP stream setup progress. Hence it becomes possible to reconnect RTP streams from one GSM-04.08-CC to another (inter-BSC Handover) or between CC and MNCC RTP peers (inter-MSC Handover) without duplicating the MGCP code for each transition. The number of FSM implementations used for MGCP handling may seem a bit of an overkill. But in fact, the number of perspectives on RTP forwarding are far from trivial: - an MGW endpoint is an entity with N connections, and MGCP "sessions" for configuring them by talking to the MGW; - an RTP stream is a remote peer connected to one of the endpoint's connections, which is asynchronously notified of codec and RTP port choices; - a call leg is the higher level view on either an MT or MO side of a voice call, a combination of two RTP streams to forward between two remote peers.

Use in the new struct msc_a, as well as change vlr_subscr to the new osmo_use_count API. * FSM Timeouts Introduce using the new osmo_tdef API, which provides a common VTY implementation for all timer numbers, and FSM state transitions with the correct timeout.

Replace with a round-robin on the SMS recipient MSISDNs paired with a VLR subscriber RAM lookup whether the subscriber is currently attached. If there are many SMS for not-attached subscribers in the SMS database, this will become inefficient: a DB hit returns a pending SMS, the RAM lookup will reveal that the subscriber is not attached, after which the DB is hit for the next SMS. It would become more efficient e.g. by having an MSISDN based hash list for the VLR subscribers and by marking non-attached SMS recipients in the SMS database so that they can be excluded with the SQL query already. There is a sanity limit to do at most 100 db hits per attempt to find a pending SMS. So if there are more than 100 stored SMS waiting for their recipients to actually attach to the MSC, it may take more than one SMS queue trigger to deliver SMS for subscribers that are actually attached.

large refactoring: support inter-BSC and inter-MSC Handover 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T' defines distinct roles: - MSC-A is responsible for managing subscribers, - MSC-I is the gateway to the RAN. - MSC-T is a second transitory gateway to another RAN during Handover. After inter-MSC Handover, the MSC-I is handled by a remote MSC instance, while the original MSC-A retains the responsibility of subscriber management. MSC-T exists in this patch but is not yet used, since Handover is only prepared for, not yet implemented. Facilitate Inter-MSC and inter-BSC Handover by the same internal split of MSC roles. Compared to inter-MSC Handover, mere inter-BSC has the obvious simplifications: - all of MSC-A, MSC-I and MSC-T roles will be served by the same osmo-msc instance, - messages between MSC-A and MSC-{I,T} don't need to be routed via E-interface (GSUP), - no call routing between MSC-A and -I via MNCC necessary. This is the largest code bomb I have submitted, ever. Out of principle, I apologize to everyone trying to read this as a whole. Unfortunately, I see no sense in trying to split this patch into smaller bits. It would be a huge amount of work to introduce these changes in separate chunks, especially if each should in turn be useful and pass all test suites. So, unfortunately, we are stuck with this code bomb. The following are some details and rationale for this rather huge refactoring: * separate MSC subscriber management from ran_conn struct ran_conn is reduced from the pivotal subscriber management entity it has been so far to a mere storage for an SCCP connection ID and an MSC subscriber reference. The new pivotal subscriber management entity is struct msc_a -- struct msub lists the msc_a, msc_i, msc_t roles, the vast majority of code paths however use msc_a, since MSC-A is where all the interesting stuff happens. Before handover, msc_i is an FSM implementation that encodes to the local ran_conn. After inter-MSC Handover, msc_i is a compatible but different FSM implementation that instead forwards via/from GSUP. Same goes for the msc_a struct: if osmo-msc is the MSC-I "RAN proxy" for a remote MSC-A role, the msc_a->fi is an FSM implementation that merely forwards via/from GSUP. * New SCCP implementation for RAN access To be able to forward BSSAP and RANAP messages via the GSUP interface, the individual message layers need to be cleanly separated. The IuCS implementation used until now (iu_client from libosmo-ranap) did not provide this level of separation, and needed a complete rewrite. It was trivial to implement this in such a way that both BSSAP and RANAP can be handled by the same SCCP code, hence the new SCCP-RAN layer also replaces BSSAP handling. sccp_ran.h: struct sccp_ran_inst provides an abstract handler for incoming RAN connections. A set of callback functions provides implementation specific details. * RAN Abstraction (BSSAP vs. RANAP) The common SCCP implementation did set the theme for the remaining refactoring: make all other MSC code paths entirely RAN-implementation-agnostic. ran_infra.c provides data structures that list RAN implementation specifics, from logging to RAN de-/encoding to SCCP callbacks and timers. A ran_infra pointer hence allows complete abstraction of RAN implementations: - managing connected RAN peers (BSC, RNC) in ran_peer.c, - classifying and de-/encoding RAN PDUs, - recording connected LACs and cell IDs and sending out Paging requests to matching RAN peers. * RAN RESET now also for RANAP ran_peer.c absorbs the reset_fsm from a_reset.c; in consequence, RANAP also supports proper RESET semantics now. Hence osmo-hnbgw now also needs to provide proper RESET handling, which it so far duly ignores. (TODO) * RAN de-/encoding abstraction The RAN abstraction mentioned above serves not only to separate RANAP and BSSAP implementations transparently, but also to be able to optionally handle RAN on distinct levels. Before Handover, all RAN messages are handled by the MSC-A role. However, after an inter-MSC Handover, a standalone MSC-I will need to decode RAN PDUs, at least in order to manage Assignment of RTP streams between BSS/RNC and MNCC call forwarding. ran_msg.h provides a common API with abstraction for: - receiving events from RAN, i.e. passing RAN decode from the BSC/RNC and MS/UE: struct ran_dec_msg represents RAN messages decoded from either BSSMAP or RANAP; - sending RAN events: ran_enc_msg is the counterpart to compose RAN messages that should be encoded to either BSSMAP or RANAP and passed down to the BSC/RNC and MS/UE. The RAN-specific implementations are completely contained by ran_msg_a.c and ran_msg_iu.c. In particular, Assignment and Ciphering have so far been distinct code paths for BSSAP and RANAP, with switch(via_ran){...} statements all over the place. Using RAN_DEC_* and RAN_ENC_* abstractions, these are now completely unified.
