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.
This patch modifies openBSC code to use msg->dst which stores the
pointer to the signalling link structure instead of the pointer to
the transceiver structure.
This patch prepares the introduction of libosmo-abis.
It is possible that MNCC sends a MNCC_LCHAN_MODIFY and
wants a channel mode that is not possible on the current
lchan, in that case a new channel is assigned. We now crash
as the osmo-nitb is not having an assignment complete handler,
add a NULL check.
The Nokia metrosite BTS seem to keep the channels open indefinitely.
If osmo-nitb is restarted while one of the channel was still active
and tries to activate that channel again the bts would return a
CHANNEL ACTIVATE NACK with "Radio channel already activated". This
accumulated over the restarts so soon enough no more channels were
available.
This patch sends a release request to the bts so the channel
becomes available again.
The function lchan_alloc only considers lchans to be available if both
the type and state are NONE. So change show lchan to list all lchans
that are not considered available.
The timer callback will simply reset the lchan state to NONE in order
to prevent channels getting stuck in 'activation requested' or
'deactivation requested' states.
Running the entire bts_nokia_site.c through the 'Lindent' script
to match indent/coding style with remainder of project.
There are still lots of other cleanups pending, but this one is
a purely cosmetic one.
This fixes a bug introduced more than one year ago in commit
e38bd6caa34005816a9336f021fd17d328d5c901:
The RSL_IE_CHAN_IDENT is a TLV, but the GSM48_IE_CHANDESC_2 contained in
it, is a mere TV type IE with fixed length.
The problem specifically has caused problems on Nokia MetroSite BTS,
which apparently read the TSC out of this Layer3 IE.
Reset the BTS MO State on BTS bootstrap. This way we will always
test the BTS disconnect/reconnect case of the BTS.
Do not reset the administrative state of objects. The BSC might
have set these and wants to maintain them across disconnect/
reconnect. Right now this is true for the TRX state.
The daemons set up nanoBTS and HSL femto sockets by default, ie. the
three sockets to support these two drivers are open even if we have
no BTS of that kind.
This patch enables on-demand socket creation, ie. we only enable them
if we have one BTS at least that requires it.
I added two new attributes to the gsm_bts object, they are:
* the start() function includes the code that we need to run to start
the BTS. This new function contains the socket creation in the
particular case of nanoBTS and HSL femto.
* the started boolean, which is used to know if we have already
started the BTS, ie. we have already invoked start().
Note that, I have splitted the bts_model_*_init() function into two
functions, the _init() functions that register the BTS driver
and the _start() functions that start BTS driver on-demand.
While I was at it, I added several changes/cleanups to this patch:
* Group all bts_model_*_init() calls into one function bts_init(),
which is called in the initialization path of osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc.
* Add openbsc/bss.h that contains the declaration of
bsc_bootstrap_network, bsc_shutdown_net and bts_init.
* Add missing e1inp_init() in osmo-bsc.
* Fix missing declaration of hsl_setup in openbsc/e1_input.h
The error message was missing in case of problems bootstrapping the BTS.
The E1 input driver initialization was displayed in the standard output,
now this error is reported via logs.
