The algorithm does not support more than 5 TS on downlink for type 1 MS.
Supporting more than 5 TS would require adding more complexity to this
algorithm. MS that support more than 4 (or 5) TS on downlink are rare,
if they really exist.
Make a crazy test that will test each possible PDCH configuration
and MS Class and verify that the UL/DL assignments work and that
they are on the same first_common_ts.
Create a select_ul_slots which is very (95%) similar to the
select_dl_slots handling. This needs to be refactored and the
todo for multiple uplink slots should be handled too.
Add a warning about a potential failure on a busy PCU.
The naming of RX/TX still looks fishy and it should use DL/UL instead.
Work on pointers right now. We could introduce a struct with the window
min and max and pass this struct. The usage of 'D' appears wrong in the
ul_usage..
The allocation in the TBF/BTS code is quite complex. In parts this
is due the assignment and requests occuring under differen circumstances.
Attempt to re-create the commono scenarios.
Remove the bogus msclass check in gprs_rlcmac_tbf::update as the
allocation code will check the ms class anyway.
It is possible that certain UL ACK messages are not sent when there
are many many uplink and downlink assignments. Try to be more fair
and schedule them round-robin. This way no starvation should occur.
Use a formula like it is used with TCP. This can help to make
decisions about if frames should be dropped or not at the time
we enqueue them.
This code will store two timeval structs in fron the of the
actual data and compute the average at the time of the dequeue.
In this case both will give the same result but it is better to use
sizeof. But it is better to use the raw number of bytes instead of
the number of elements.
Coverity complains about this code as it doesn't know that the
OSMO_ASSERT is always on. But it is good practice to now have the
side-effect in here.
Fixes: Coverity CID 1080724
Coverity warns about the below lines of code. strerror is supposed
to return a char* and %s should work on char. Let's see if including
string.h will make coverity more happy. The pre-processes file looked
sane as well.
LOGP(DL1IF, LOGL_ERROR, "error writing to L1 msg_queue: %s\n",
strerror(errno));
Coverity: CID 1040951, CID 1040950, CID 1040952
Daniel and me worked on the window handling. We now test that what
we encode is compatible to what we decode. The char array now includes
SSN-1 to the right of the array (reflecting a time axis that grows
towards the right..)
Added two methods to gprs_rlc_ul_window
* ssn() returns the starting sequence number
* update_rbb() returns an array of chars representing the state of the
received block bitmap. Each element is either 'I'nvalid or
'R'eceived. The rbb is generated from v_n
rbb[63] relates to BSN ssn-1
...
rbb[0] relates to BSN ssn-64
The code has an internal optimization to only use window_size
space. This means that the caller needed to know that only half
of the size was used. Change the API to work on the BSN and do
the mapping internally. The compiler should have plenty of
opportunity to propagate the constant(s) but this has not been
verified.
