Fixes following error log line:
"{RELEASING}: Event DL_ACKNACK_MISS not permitted"
Rationale: We may move to RELEASING state at some point, for instance
due to MAX_N3101/MAX_N3105 while still having some active poll
registered in some PDCH ulc. Upon that poll (most probably) timing out,
it will send a DL_ACKNACK_MISS event to us. Since we are already
determined to release the TBF (waiting for T3195 or T3169 to trigger),
simply ignore the event and avoid logging an error.

While NACC was initially developed, it became clear there was need for
a way to interact PCU<->BSC in order resolve ARFCN+BSIC into CGI-PS
for later RIM usage.
Hence, this resolution was first (until today) implemented using an out
of bands RPC system using the CTRL interface, which required specific
config to be written and matches in osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc VTY (ip+port
of the CTRL interface to use).
However, this has several shortcomings:
* As explained above, specific configuration is required
* Since recently, we do support BSC redundancy in osmo-bts. Hence the BTS
may switch to a BSC other than first one. If that happened, that'd mean
the CTRL interface would still point to the initially configured one,
which may not be the same currently serving the PCU.
During recent development of ANR related features, a similar need for
PCU<->BSC was required, but this time it was decided to extend the IPA
multiplex of the Abis OML connection to pass PCUIF messages,
transparently forwarded to each side by the BTS.
This has the advantage that connection PCU<->BTS is handled by BTS and
both sides send messages transparently.
Let's switch by default to using this new interface, while still
maintaing the old way for a while (announcing them as deprecated) to
avoid breaking existing deployments until they are upgraded to new
versions of osmo-pcu and osmo-bsc.

When a PDCH TS becomes disabled (eg due to dyn TS being used for a
call), we are currently freeing all attached PDCHs in order to avoid
further use of it. However, pdch_free_all_tbf() was only freeing TBFs
attached to the PDCH, that is, TBFs having a valid TFI assigned.

no TFI assigned, such as when creating an ImmAssReject. Let's take those

These messages are expected under some circumstances, such as when
direct phy is used and a chan is disabled (eg. dyn TS). This happens
because PCU asks for chan de-activation through PCUIF while at the same
time marking the PDCH locally as disabled. Hence, in the time the BTS
manages to disable it on the lower layers, the phy still sends us
RTS indications.
Let's keep it under NOTICE to avoid clogging the logs in production
setups which are usually using global level of NOTICE or ERROR.

remove the unit strings from all the doc strings.

In existing previous code, pdch->ulc would be freed in
gprs_rlcmac_pdch::free_resources() when it became disabled as per PCUIF
info_ind (for instance, when a DYN TS is switched PDCH->SDCCH8).
However, pdch->ulc was so far only allocated during pdch_init, which is
only called during bts_alloc() time.
Hence, after first info_ind disabling it, if it became again enabled
(again by info_ind re-enabling it after SDCCH8 was not longer in use),
the pdch->ulc would be used again but it would point to freed memory.

The ul_tbfs/dl_tbfs lists will become per-trx. Since in this case we
want to operate on the BTS globally, let's iterate over MS objects
instead. This makes more sense too since here we really aim at reaching
a MS (subscriber) instead of specific TBFs. Later on the code can be
optimized easily to schedule a Pkt Paging Request for only 1 of the TBFs
of each MS instad of scheduling it for each TBFs in the MS.

Before this patch, when a PAGING-GS was received in PCU from SGSN, it
would always forward the paging request to all PDCHs in all TRXs of all
BTS (well, it did some heuristics to avoid sending it in some PDCHs
where onyl repeated TBFs would be listening).
The previous behavior, didn't make much sense in the case where the PCU
is asked to page an MS which it knows (ie in which PDCHs is listening
to). Hence, in that case it makes sense to simply send the paging
request on 1 PDCH where the MS is listening, instead of sending it in a
big set of different PDCHs.
This commit also splits the old get_paging_mi() helper which was
erroneously created to parseboth CS/PS-PAGING requesst, since they
actually use a different set of target subscriber information (for
instance, CS-PAGING provides optionally a TLLI, and one provides P-TMSI
while the other provides TMSI).
In this patch, the handling of CS paging request is split into 2 parts:
1- A new helper "struct paging_req_cs" is introduced, where incoming
CS-PAGING requests (from both SGSN over BSSGP and BTS/BSC over PCUIF)
are parsed and information stored. Then, from available information, it
tries to find a target MS if avaialable
2- bts_add_paging() is called from both BSSGP and PCUIF paths with the
helper struct and the target MS (NULL if not found). If MS exists,
paging is forwarding only on 1 PDCH that MS is attached to. If no MS
exists, then the old heursitics are used to forward the request to all
MS.

The code path running into first call of "create_packet_access_reject()"
is a superset condition of the second one, so the second one will never
be hit.
As a result first, this block:
"""
else if (tbf == tbfs->ul_ass && tbf->direction == GPRS_RLCMAC_DL_TBF)
if (tbf->ul_ass_state_is(GPRS_RLCMAC_UL_ASS_SEND_ASS_REJ))
msg = tbfs->ul_ass->create_packet_access_reject();
else
msg = tbfs->ul_ass->create_ul_ass(fn, ts);
"""
Can be simplified into:
"""
else if (tbf == tbfs->ul_ass && tbf->direction == GPRS_RLCMAC_DL_TBF &&
!tbf->ul_ass_state_is(GPRS_RLCMAC_UL_ASS_SEND_ASS_REJ))
msg = tbfs->ul_ass->create_ul_ass(fn, ts);
"""
Next, one can see that previous condition still forces
!tbf->ul_ass_state_is(GPRS_RLCMAC_UL_ASS_SEND_ASS_REJ) to be always true
if we ever reach that code, so it can be dropped.

Tbftest expectatins need to change because 5000/20 = 250 < 255, hence
the message is now sent as units of 20ms instead of seconds.

Document the function, make it look similar to usual TBF creation path
tbf_alloc_ul()->tbf_alloc_ul_tbf->tbf::setup(), which it mimics with
some differences.
Get rid of unneeded stuff like creating MS and settings its TLLI (that's
already done in only caller of the function). There's no need for
calling update_ms() either.

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.

During RELEASING state the TFI, USFs, etc. are still reserved and
assigned to the TBF, and hence the TBF may still use it.
If callers of this function rely on not taking TBFs under RELEASING
state, they should check that explicitly.
It still makes sense being to operate on RELEASING TBFs, since under
some circumstances the TBF may go under a previous state. See for
instance 3GPP TS 44.060 sec 8.1.1.3a.2:
"""
If N3101 reaches the value N3101max, the network shall stop sending
PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK messages to the mobile station for that TBF
and shall start timer T3169 for the TBF. If an RLC/MAC block is received
from the TBF when timer T3169 is running, the network shall stop timer
T3169 and resume sending PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK messages to the TBF.
When T3169 expires, the network may consider the TBF as released and
reuse the TFI value.

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
true.

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
need to access poll_fn since RRBP will always be invalid.

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.
Change-Id: Ie5b807ccd38aa736ae11b3310ca61ad0156ca4d4
The related ul_ass_state already implies polling is ongoing since we are
waiting for an ACK to be received from MS. Hence there's no need to
check poll_state there.
Change-Id: I5e12280a6835407fa452bd4d5df799d2672790ec
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).
Change-Id: Ic4080db684a4626cae90dd574d123081981284ca
This API is not really needed anymore, since anyway it works under the
assumption there can only be 1 POLL in transit per TBF, which isn't
necessarily true.
Change-Id: I875f51cade95faeb2d79dcebfead4c83e23a731b
This allows easily checking the initial reason to trigger the poll when
either it is received or times out.
Later on this reason can be transformed into an FSM event and sent to
the related FSM.

Make sure an unreserved FN is picked and reserved when allocating and
scheduling an SBA.
In practice this has no change in behavior right now, since anyway using
an offset of 52 FNs ensure no USF or POLL has alredy been scheduled that
far in the future. Since it's also impossible to allocate more than 1
SBA per PDCH and RTS FN, we are also safe about multiple SBAs being
allocated, because we use a hardcoded offset of 52.
However, that could change in the future, when we dynamically tweak the
current offset of 52 FN based on information from BTS about its AGCH
queue load:
* If load is high, we may need to increase the offset since it
will take more time for the BTS to transmit the TBF and hence we must
reserve a TBF starting time further in the future (higher FN).
* If load turns low, we may schedule next SBA a bit more nearby in time
than the previously allocated SBA, hence here there could be a
collision.

This way PCU can now detect whether scheduled UL blocks through USF
were never received. This allows in a follow-up patch to start
increasing N3101 properly.

When the scheduler detects it's time to receive a UL block due to a
scheduled poll, if that polling is done on a UL TBF, then use its USF if
available instead of using USF_UNUSED (=7) when sending a DL block on
that same FN.
This is not really needed for correct work, since MS take care
themselves of scheduling a UL block when they receive the poll (RRBP)
some time before, and don't check the USF at the time of transmitting.
In any case, it helps understand better when looking at pcap traces that
indeed it a UL block from that MS was requested, instead of setting USF
to 7.

Simply use the UL TBF pointer all along until the end, instead of setting
both the UL TBF pointer plus the usf var.
This commit is also a preparation for next commit which also selects UL
TBF when a poll is available, to set its USF in the DL message instead
of "USF_UNUSED".

With previous code, a skipped TBF could be returned despite not matching
the conditions, since at the end of the loop the tbf pointer was
returned.

There's no need for setting the FN in RA.ind since we anyway already
receive a DATA.ind beforehand.
Furthermore, the applied delay of 5 in the call is not really used at
all.

Take the time to also do small refactorings to clarify and simplify the
function, by using rts_next_fn() already available in pcu_utils.h and
getting rid of poll_tbf from tbf_candidates, which clearly follows
another objective.
Using PDCH UL Controller has the advantage that we don't need to check
poll_scheduled() on each TBF, but only do the query once.

TbfTest is updated to submit empty blocks to have somehow meaningful
output (at least as meaningful test results as before, not much). That's
because we must update bts->curr_fn to have polls expire.
