Change gprs_nsvc_reset to return void instead of a int
as the gb_proxy.c currently ignores the reutnr value anyway.
Change the caller inside gprs_ns to return the newly allocated
nsvc instead of the return of gprs_nsvc_reset.
So far, we only started the ALIVE procedure on RESET-ACK if the
remote end was the SGSN. This resulted in the BSS->Proxy connections
only being tested for alive-status from the BSS side, but not from
our side.
Also: export nsvc_by_nsvci() function as a public API function.
Some BSS that connect to the proxy do not continue to perform the
RESET procedure after a timeout. In order to resurrect them, we
simply start a RESET procedure.
In the previous code we used a static fake_nsvc structure in
case we needed to send a message to an unknown NSVC for which
we don't have a real 'struct nsvc'. However, since we now have
a rate_ctr_group hanging off the nsvc, the fake structure didn't
have that.
So now we keep a nsi->unknown_nsvc around to be used whenever
we need a nsvc but don't have a real one. The gprs_ns_vty.c
code explicitly does not list that NSVC in 'show ns'
Every NS-VC now has a set of counters for incoming and outgoing
number of packets and bytes.
We also split the VTY part of the gprs_ns.c implementation into gprs_ns_vty.c
to make sure the protocol can actually be used without the VTY code being
present.
With persistent NS-VC configuration (configured through VTY),
we can respond properly to BSS with a somewhat strange NS
implementation Such as the BSplus. It enables us to respond
with a proper NS-RESET (including NSVCI/NSEI) when receiving
a NS-ALIVE or other PDU for a BLOCKED/DEAD NS-VC after our
end of the connection is rebooted.
The ida of the Gb proxy is to aggregate Gb links with a number of BSS
and then present all the BSSGP-VC's together inside one NS-VC to the
actual SGSN.
The code is not yet expected to be complete.
According to TS 08.16, the BSSGP layer needs to specify NSEI and BVCI when
executing the NS UNITDATA REQUEST primitive of the underlying NS layer.
Rather than passing around a pointer to the 'struct gprs_nsvc', we now
have NSEI and BVCI as members of 'struct obsc_msgb_cb' and set them
when BSSGP hands a message down to NS.
NS then does a lookup of the 'gprs_nsvc' based on the NSEI parameter.
* move UDP listener code for NSIP from input/ipaccess.c and into gprs_ns.c
* add PDU type, IE and CAUSE values for later IP based 3GPP TS 48.016
* support multiple NS-VCs and their lookup based on NSVC and sockaddr_in
* maintain the remote_state (blocked/alive) for each NSVC
* introduce the concept of GPRS_NS instances, move all global vars to instance
* remove hardcoded calls to gprs_bssgp_rcvmsg() and replace it by callback
WARNING: This is not finished code. While it will compile, it will not work
yet, as BSSGP needs to be converted to properly indicate the NSVC to which it
needs to send data.
