Currently sending SUSPEND/RESUME messages to this function (like it
is done in the osmo-sgsn) results in STATUS messages complaining
about an unknown BVCI. The reason is, that these messages rely on a
TLLI/RAI pair to identify the context and do not contain an explicit
BVCI.
This patch modifies bssgp_rcvmsg() to only complain about and unknown
BVCI if one is given but a matching context is not found (except for
RESET messages). The ctx argument is removed from the functions
handling SUSPEND and RESUME since it will always be NULL then.

In the OsmoSGSN we have a crash with a DEAD/BLOCKED GPRS-NS and
segmented SN-UNITDATA. For the caller it is not easy to know if
the passed msg buffer has been freed or not. The most easy solution
is to always take the ownership and either pass it on or free it
in case of an error.
Adjust indirect and direct callers of gprs_ns_sendmsg. I found
the following call-chains with an external msgb parameter.
gprs_ns_sendmsg
<- _bssgp_tx_dl_ud
<- bssgp_fc_in
<- bssgp_tx_dl_ud
Update the test to allocate a real msgb because for the test with
'1000' we will msgb_free it right away.

Currently the NS-VC's state is updated from within gprs_ns_tx_reset,
which can lead to an inconsistent state when the RESET_ACK is lost.
In this state, the NSE_S_RESET bit is set but the Tns-reset timer is
not started.
This patch moves the state update into gprs_nsvc_reset. This way, the
state flags are consistent with the timer.

SGSN -> BSS NS_ALIVE
BSS -> SGSN NS_ALIVE_ACK
BSS -> SGSN BVC_RESET

and there is no BSS->SGSN NS_ALIVE

Currently gprs_nsvc_reset does not return any value.
This patch changes the function to return an integer, where a value
less than zero indicates an error. The value is taken from the
gprs_ns_tx_reset function. In case of failure, an error message is logged.

the bits/crc files are not inside the sourcedirectory but will end
in the build directory. Go and look there as well. This somehow
doesn't fail with make distcheck but when building for Yocto Dizzy.
Currently the bssgph field is not set when using the bssgp_tx_*
functions. This hinders unit testing of generated messages.
This patch initializes the bssgph field directly after allocation a
new bssgp msgb in bssgp_msgb_alloc() so that it is set by default.

Currently BSSGP messages with an NS BVCI of 0 (signalling) are
discarded if they aren't RESET messages. Thus valid signalling
messages (e.g. BLOCK) are not handled properly, because the BVCI IE
is ignored if it present. Instead a STATUS message referring to BVCI
0 (instead of the BVCI used in the BLOCK message) is returned.
This patch changes the implementation to use the BVCI contained in
the BVCI IE if that is present in a signalling message.
It fixes BSSGP BLOCK/UNBLOCK for the osmo-sgsn.
Note that signalling messages without an BVCI IE (e.g.
SUSPEND/RESUME) are still rejected.

Currently the BVCI is not set in all invocations to bssgp_tx_status()
when the cause is UNKNOWN_BVCI.
This patch adds the argument where it is missing.
It also adds a check for compliance (GSM 08.18, 10.4.14.1) to
bssgp_tx_status() to emit errors when the following requirement is
not fulfilled: The BVCI must be included if (and only if) the cause
is either "BVCI blocked" or "BVCI unknown".

Okay. this comment thing has not worked (I totally forgot about it).
I think either we try to find ABI breakages with tools or we use
#error macros and check for a version...
Currently the field nsvci_is_valid is set to 0 in the NSVC object
returned by gprs_nsvc_create(). This was a semantic change probably
introduced by commit 5e6d679d. As a result, NSVC created via the VTY
have this flag set to 0 causing RESET_ACK messages to be rejected.
This patch changes the default behaviour of gprs_nsvc_create() to
always set this flag. So it must be set to 0 explicitely if needed
which is more intuitive and thus less error prone.
It fixes breaking connections from the Gbproxy to the SGSN.

Currently those messages are answered by a NS_STATUS message when
received on an uninitialised (no NS_RESET hat been seen yet) NS_VC
which violates GPP TS 08.16 7.3.1 and 7.4.1.
This patch adds checks to gprs_ns_vc_create() and eventually returns
before the error NS_STATUS message is generated.

When a RESET is received on the same link with a different NSVCI from
a BSS on a dynamically created NS connection do not patch the nsvc
object but create a new one instead. Thus the NSVCI is never modified
at a nsvc object after the NS-VC has been established.

This modifies the NS stack's behavior to accept RESET and RESET_ACK
NSEI changes for NS-VC dynamically created by RESET messages from

This changes the implementations for the reception of RESET and
RESET_ACK to be compatible with 3GPP TS 08.16, 7.3.1:
- Just send a RESET_ACK with correct values back to the SGSN when a
RESET with an invalid NSVCI or NSEI has been received.
- Check RESET_ACK for matching NSEI and NSVCI.
- Ignore unexpected RESET_ACKs.
In addition, use RESET_ACK from a BSS to update the BSS source
address based on the NSVCI to be tolerant with changing UDP source
addresses/ports.

This adds a 'nsvc nsvci <0-65535> (block|unblock|reset)' vty
command. It selects the NS-VC based on the nsvci instead of using the
first with a matching NSEI, like it is done when the 'nsei' keyword
is used instead.

Under special circumstances (see below) receiving a NS-RESET leads to
duplicated NS-VC entries.
This happens when the source port of a NS-VC changes to a new one
that has already been used by another NS-VC.
This patch changes gprs_ns_rx_reset() to check for this case and to
use the existing NS-VC object. The NS-VC object that was associated
with the source address before is detached from this source but kept
in the NS-VC list so that it can be reattached when a correspondent
NS-RESET is received later on. Meanwhile it will have a cleared link
layer address which will not match a real link info.
A new counter NS_CTR_REPLACED is incremented each time when the NS-VC
object is replacing another one. A new signal S_NS_REPLACED is added
which gets dispatched in this case, too.
Another new counter NS_CTR_NSEI_CHG is incremented each time when the
NSEI of a NS-VC object (with fixed NSVCI) changes.

Adds the functions gprs_ns_ll_copy() and gprs_ns_ll_clear(). Renames

Currently this first NS-VC with a matching NSEI is always used to
send a UNITDATA message via gprs_ns_sendmsg(). If the NS-VC found is
either dead or blocked, an error is returned.
This patch changes to code to skip blocked or dead NS-VCs while
searching and return the error if no usable NS-VC is found. This
makes it possible to have several NS-VCs per connection group.

Currently when a NS-RESET is recevied over a link that has not yet
been associated with a NS-VC, the NSEI is used to find an existing
NS-VC. If one is found, the reset procedure is initiated.
This behaviour is not conformant with 3GPP TS 08.16 (see chapter
4.2.3) which allows to use several NS-VC between two endpoints in
parallel.
The patch changes the implementation to use the NSVCI instead
of the NSEI to search for an existing NS-VC object.

According to 3GPP TS 08.16, 7.3 "Reset procedure" the entity
receiving a NS-RESET PDU responds with a NS-RESET-ACK and 'then'
starts the test procedure which essentially means, that a NS-ALIVE
gets sent and a timer is started.
Currently the NS-ALIVE is sent before the NS-RESET-ACK.
This patch fixes the implementation by reversing the order in which
these messages are sent.

This patch refactors gprs_ns_rcvmsg() by moving the parts relevant to
the NS messages into the new functions gprs_ns_vc_create() (nsvc
object creation) and gprs_ns_process_msg() (main NS automaton). These
do not contain code that directly depends on the link layer (they
call other functions that still do). This reduces the gprs_ns_rcvmsg()
function to calling these two functions and optionally setting up the
link layer specific fields of the nsvc.

If the BTS tells us to not send any data at all anymore (bucket leak
rate of 0 bits per second), then we should respect this and not run into
a divide-by-zero. However, as this indicates complete overload, we
print a log message to that regard.
Use FreeBSD struct iphdr definition for OSX also. From the commentary in
the source file:
On BSD the IPv4 struct is called struct ip and instead of iXX
the members are called ip_XX. One could change this code to use
struct ip but that would require to define _BSD_SOURCE and that
might have other complications. Instead make sure struct iphdr
is present on FreeBSD.
* add more comments on units of struct members
* make sure to parsre FC-BVC message correctly
* add error message in case user passes PDU larger than bucket size
* add new function to initialize flow control struct
This code is supposed to implement the BSSGP flow control algorithm,
both for the per-BSS and for the per-MS flow control.
The code currently has no test cases, they will come in a separate
commit.
