test now can write the NR reconfig into a PCAP for easy
debugging with Wireshark
patch also adds a new test helper to write a RRC PDU
into a PCAP file (helper packs PDCP and RLC AM first)
the code hasn't been maintained for a while an likely needs to be
adapted for a real-world scenarios.
in order to avoid having to maintain two MAC/PHY interfaces we
remove the code from now.
we had it returning int but had a bug in using the return value properly,
i.e. handling when -1 was returned in RLC TM.
Thinking about it more, it doesn't make sense to have a negative return
value here anyway. Either the RLC can return a PDU or not. If it can't the
returned lenght is zero.
general-purpose method for lower layers to signal protocol
failures to higher layers, i.e. RRC.
In the current case, implement a direct release of the UE (enb) or
a reestablishment (UE).
- the consumer does multi-staged waiting:
1. spins first across all queues in a RR fashion
2. each queue access is done with a try_lock.
3. if the try_lock fails, it increases the number of spins needed
2. if no queue had data, the consumer sleeps for 100 usec.
- no differentiation between queues, in terms of notification features
- Replace shared_variable members in log_channel class in favor of atomics.
- Remove the small string optimization in srslog now that we dont allocate anymore.
- Trim some critical sections in srslog.
With the new design, each queue created in the multiqueue object has its own mutex.
Pushing tasks to separate queues will, therefore, not cause contention.
There will be, however, still contention between the popping thread and the pushing threads.
