This change fixes a bug that was reported by Keith Whyte and confirmed in [1]. The problem is that a user-defined handler in case of CSN_SERIALIZE may parse only a part of the given bit-stream, leaving some bits unhandled. This is expected because the sender (i.e. the MS) may use more recent RLC/MAC message definitions containing new fields at the end. Those bits that were left unhandled by serialize() shall not be interpreted as continuation of the message, they shall be skipped. Note that the encoded vector in the RLCMAC unit test still does not match the original one. That's a known bug explained in [2].

osmo-pcu - Osmocom Packet Control Unit
This repository contains a C/C++-language implementation of a GPRS Packet Control Unit, as specified by ETSI/3GPP. It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.
The Packet Control Unit is terminating the Layer 2 (RLC/MAC) of the GPRS radio interface and adapting it to the Gb Interface (BSSGP+NS Protocol) towards the SGSN.
The PCU interfaces with the physical layer of the radio interface. OsmoPCU is typically used co-located with the BTS, specifically OsmoBTS. For legacy BTSs that run proprietary sotware without an interface to OsmoPCU, you may also co-locate it with the BSC, specifically OsmoBSC
Homepage
The official homepage of the project is https://osmocom.org/projects/osmopcu/wiki/OsmoPCU
GIT Repository
You can clone from the official osmo-pcu.git repository using
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu.git
There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu/
Documentation
We provide a user manual as well as a vty reference manual
Please note that a lot of the PCU configuration actually happens inside the BSC, which passes this configuration via A-bis OML to the BTS, which then in turn passes it via the PCU socket into OsmoPCU.
