At some point later in time the state_flags will most probably be split
into different variables, one ending up in a different FSM. It is moved
so far to the exsiting FSM from the C++ class since it's easier to
access it from C and C++ code, and anyway that kind of information
belongs to the FSM.

This reverts commit 846fd248dc.
The commit introduced a leak of UL-TBF, which do not time out and
accumulate indefinitely, leading to out-of-memory for the running
osmo-pcu process.
A proper fix for the leak is pending on a development branch pespin/fsm,
but that branch is not yet ready for merging. Hence let's re-introduce
timer T3169 to avoid the OOM due to lingering UL-TBF.

This is only an initial implementation, where all state changes are
still done outside the FSM itself.
The idea is to do the move in several commits so that they can be
digested better in logical steps and avoid major break up.

Now that we finally handle N3101 and N3103 correctly, we can fix abuse
of T3169 we were doing to make sure TBFs were freed.
According to 3GPP TS 44.060, T3169 should be armed:
* N3101_MAX reached
* N3103_MAX reached
Furthermore, when T3169 is enabled, the tbf should be in state
RELEASING so that its USF is not used.

Use recently added PDCH UL Controller to verify expectancies.
Test test_packet_access_rej_prr is rewritten since it didn't make sense
as it was before, since it relied on osmo-pcu not checking stuff
properly to trigger the reject. The RACH requests are changed to
allocate 8 SBAs (maximum of 7 concurrent USFs). Allocating the SBA
doesn't reserve a USF, that happens at PKT RESOURCE REQUEST, hence we
end up exhausting resources there and triggering the REJECT at that
point.
Previous version of the patch allocated TBFs directly through RACH req,
and then submitted an extra PKT RESOURCE REQUEST which PCU didn't expect
to trigger the reject.

That field is not needed anymore, and it works only under the assumption
that only 1 poll request can be active at a time per TBF, which is not

Value 'false' is always passed by all callers of the function, so
there's no need to pass it. Furthermore, since it's false, there's no

The poll_state logic was part of previous implementation (prior to pdch
ul controller) where the ssumption was that TBF could only had 1 POLL
request in transit, which is really not true. With current
infrastructure we don't need this state tracking at all.

There's no good reason to allow only for 1 concurrent POLL requested to
a TBF, it was onyl done this was as an implementation limitation factor.
It can well happen that several multiple POLLs may be in transit at the
same time, eg to get DL ACK/NACK as well as to get a CTRL ACK for a Pkt
Cell Change Continue (NACC).

Right now we handle different types of UL allocations in different
classes like PollAllocator and SBAllocator, and they usually don't take
into account the other one in most cases. Furthermore, those objects are
usually per-BTS object, instead of per PDCH object.
This is a first step towards having a unified per-PDCH controller which
takes care of controlling what is scheduled and hence expected on the
uplink. Each PDCH has a UL Controller which keeps track of all reserved
uplink frame, be it SB, RRBP poll or USF assigned, all under the same
API.
As a first step, only the SBA part is fully implemented and used (being
it the easiest part to replace); TBF poll+usf will come in follow-up
patches later on. As a result, the SBAllocator per-BTS class dissappears
but some of its code is refactored/reused to provide more features to the
gprs_rlcmac_sba object, which is also further integrated into the new UL
Controller.

osmo-pcu track time more accurately, and use this information to quickly

If Idle TBF timer (X2031) is set to 0, it means the TBF release is
immediately started once all queued data has been scheduled. In that
case, we must set FBI=1 (by setting cv=0) and move to FINISH state.
This used to work over the usual path where X2031 != 0, because release
start will alays happen at a later sched poll time where a dummy LLC
frame is sent and FBI set accordingly.

Old commit getting rid of LLC UI dummy and updating create_new_bsn()
function introduced a bug by not moving update of value m_last_dl_drained_fn
prior to a new break introduced.
As a result, the value is not updated in the case LLC queue becomes
drained but last few bytes are drained at exactly that moment.
Furthermore, then the IDLE tbf timer (X2031, keep_open())) returns always
true since according to it the drain never happened.
The impact of the bug is basically delaying a bit more than expected the
time the TBF stays in IDLE state with the TBF release process yet
to be started.

Currently the BTS object (and gprs_rlcmac_bts struct) are used to hold
both PCU global fields and BTS specific fields, all mangled together.
The BTS is even accessed in lots of places by means of a singleton.
This patch introduces a new struct gprs_pcu object aimed at holding all
global state, and several fields are already moved from BTS to it. The
new object can be accessed as global variable "the_pcu", reusing and
including an already exisitng "the_pcu" global variable only used for
bssgp related purposes so far.
This is only a first step towards having a complete split global pcu and
BTS, some fields are still kept in BTS and will be moved over follow-up
smaller patches in the future (since this patch is already quite big).
So far, the code still only supports one BTS, which can be accessed
using the_pcu->bts. In the future that field will be replaced with a
list, and the BTS singletons will be removed.
The cur_fn output changes in TbfTest are actually a side effect fix,
since the singleton main_bts() now points internally to the_pcu->bts,
hence the same we allocate and assign in the test. Beforehand, "the_bts"
was allocated in the stack while main_bts() still returned an unrelated
singleton BTS object instance.

It is expected that the tbf object is freed at any moment in time, for

According to:
* 3GPP TS 44.060 version 16.0.0 "9.3.1a Delayed release of downlink Temporary Block Flow"
* 3GPP TS 44.064 version 16.0.0 "6.4.2.2 Unconfirmed Information (UI) Dummy command"
LLC UI Dummy frames are to be used when there no more data to send, only
in order to delay the release of a TBF. Hence, while not incorrect per
se, makes no sense to send those LLC UI Dummy frames inserted into
rlcmac blocks which already contain other LLC frames, since the MS in
that case is already being kept active.
It only makes sense to send those LLC UI Dummy frames when we have
nothing else to send, that is, alone inside a RLCMAC block without other
LLC frames.

In previous status, if USF for GPRS-only MS was selected, then EGPRS
TBFs were skipped and either a GPRS TBF was selected or a Dummy Block
was sent. That means the behavior was unfair towards EGPRS TBFs, because
sometimes they were skipped in favor of GPRS ones.
This patch imporves the situation in the above mentioned USF scenario, by
first, under specific conditions, allowing selection of an EGPRS TBF and
then forcing it to transmit in EGPRS-GMSK (MCS1-4) so that the
USF-targeted MS can still decode the USF, while at the same time
providing more fairness by allowing the EGPRS TBF to transmit data.
The specific conditions mentioned above are, mainly, related to the fact
that once a DL data block has been sent, and hence a BSN was assigned to
it, it cannot be retransmitted later using another MCS, since lower
MCS1-4 wouldn't be able to contain higher MCS RLC payload.
The set of conditions could be expanded in the future by also selecting
the EGPRS TBF if retransmition is required and the block to be
retransmitted was originally transmitted as MCS1-4.

The assumption that TLLI 0x00000000 is invalid and can be used
as the initializer is wrong. Similar to TMSI, 0x00000000 is a
perfectly valid value, while 0xffffffff is reserved - use it.
According to 3GPP TS 23.003, section 2.4, a TMSI/P-TMSI with
all 32 bits equal to 1 is special and shall not be allocated by
the network. The reason is that it must be stored on the SIM,
where 'ff'O represents the erased state. According to section
2.6 of the same document, a local/foreign TLLI is derived from
P-TMSI, so the same rule applies to TLLI.
I manually checked and corrected all occurances of 'tlli' in the
code. The test expectations have been adjusted with this command:
$ find tests/ -name "*.err" | xargs sed -i "s/0x00000000/0xffffffff/g"
so there should be no behavior change. The only exception is
the 'TypesTest', where TLLI 0xffffffff is being encoded and
expected in the hexdump, so I regenerated the test output.

For instance if PCU received DL data to be sent to an MS from an SGSN,
and the MS is not currently cached in the PCU (because there's no TBF
active for it), it will page it and transmit the DL data to it.
The SGSN is capable of sending (EGPRS) MS Class information in that same
DL data message, so it's the one responsible for providing that
information if not available at the PCU.
In the PCU if we don't have information about that MS and SGSN didn't
provide us information about it, we cannot assume the MS is going to be
EGPRS capable and even less expecting a specific EGPRS MS class.
So let's drop this code.

Avoid passing tons of params to internal helper function
tbf_nel_dl_assignment() in order to either fetch again the ms object or
create a new one. Let's instead create the ms function earlier if needed
and fill it with all the discovered information prior to calling the
helper function. This provides cleaner code and also better log output.
This way we also avoid trying to fill the MS twice and unneeded
getter+setter for TA.
tbf::imsi(): There' always an ms, so simply forward call to
ms()->imsi().
We can also get rid of assign_imsi, since the modified code is the only
place where it's used and there's already some code in place there to
update the MS. We instead merge it with set_imsi and keep the
duplication code to catch possible bugs from callers.
Move merge_and_clear_ms from tbf class to GprsMS, where it really
belongs.
Change-Id: Id18098bac3cff26fc4a8d2f419e21641a1f4c83b
This is another step forward towards a more clear data model where a TBF
always has a MS object (which may be lacking some information, and at a
later point when more information is found, it may actually be a
duplicated MS object and hence one duplicate removed and the TBF moved
to the object being kept).
This helps for instance in removing duplicated information stored in
the TBF which is really per MS, like ms_class, ta, etc. Since there's
always a MS object there's no need to keep a duplicate in both classes
in case there's no MS object.
It can already be seen looking at unit test logging that this kind of
data model already provides better information.
Some unit test parts were needed to adapt to the new model too.
