The current code uses dir.*l.window.sns() directly. The current
implementation only returns the dl.window.sns() which will cause
problems.
Remove now and re-add it as a method of DL/UL TBF if and when it is
needed.

The methods create_ul_ack(), rcv_data_block_acknowledged(),
maybe_schedule_uplink_acknack() are only used for UL TBFs so make them
methods of that class instead of the base class.

These functions are only used for DL TBFs so move them.
sched_select_downlink() in src/gprs_rlcmac_sched.cpp now needs to deal
with DL TBFs instead of the base class.

This method is only userul for DL TBFs so move it. As a result
gprs_rlcmac_pdch::rcv_control_ack needs to work with dl_tbfs.

The PODS struct has a back pointer to access the actual object.
llist_pods_for_each_entry traverses the list of struct llist_pods and
makes the entry available (through the back pointer).

UL and DL tbfs are used in very separate parts and are not the same
thing so split the alloc function and use the UL/DL version throughout
the code.

Many functions only ever deal with or return a UL or a DL TBF.
Explicitly change the type to reflect which TBF is used where.

The current code would only ever assign one PDCH for the initial
assignment (from CCCH). Only if reuse_tbf is called the algorithm would
actually use multiple DL PDCHs if possible.
This patch introduced a tbf attribute upgrade_to_multislot that is set
if we have multiple PDCH configured, and support multislot assignment,
but can only assign a single PDCH (alloc_algorithm_b, parameter single
is set). In this case after the assignment completes (and the MS is
listening on a PDCH) we resend a DL assignment though the PACCH and this
time we can assign multiple timeslots.
The current code does not properly distinguish between DL assignments to
reuse a tbf (after it was put in state WAIT_RELEASE) and DL assignments
for an active tbf to change the allocation of the PDCH timeslots.
This patch introduces a new variable was_releasing which remembers if
trigger_dl_ass() was called with a tbf in state WAIT_RELEASE. In that
case we have to set the CONTROL_ACK field in the download assignment.
This should allow us to send DL assignments to change PDCH TS allocation
of a tbf before we enter FLOW state.
Move functions resend_needed(), mark_for_resend(), update(),
move_window(), state(), count_unacked() out of v_b directly into the UL
window and provide a function get_state in v_b to access the v_b
elements.
The send and receive window is now managed by an external object.
There are some issues that can only be solved with C++11 but it
is progres and removes some of the spaghetti code. For GPRS the
sns and ws is hardcoded. Move that into the window code.
This approach is somehow flawed. We need/want to debug problems on
systems with real traffic and re-compiling it with debug_diagram
is not an option. All internal logging needs to be expressive enough
so we can understand what is going on (e.g. create a script to
post-process the output).
All logging code that used tbf->tfi is now using tbf_name to
print the the TBF. External code is now using tfi() which is
inlined and should result in the same code being generated as
before (+debug code that can be stripped).
Now all updates to the tlli/tlli_valid are in one place. If we
implement the policy to update the matching/linked TBF we can
now to do it in a single place. Add a todo item for that as I
am waiting for feedback from the mailinglist.
This is like gsm_lchan_name and should be used in log statements.
This way we can easily change the information that is printed and
we know how to search things. The other part is that direct use
of tfi/tlli is removed which will allow us to make them private
and at the same time start to resolve the "tlli" updated in many
places.
Not old log statements are changed yet. This will done whenever
a bad log statement is seen on the console...
