this patch refactors the SDU queuing and dropping policy of the RLC and PDCP layer.
the previous design had issues when packets have been generated at a higher
rate above the PDCP than they could be consumed below the RLC.
When the RLC SDU queues were full, we allowed two policies, one to block on the write
and the other to drop the SDU. Both options are not ideal because they either
lead to a blocking stack thread or to lost PDCP PDUs.
To avoid this, this patch makes the following changes:
* PDCP monitors RLC's SDU queue and drops packets on its north-bound SAP if queues are full
* a new method sdu_queue_is_full() has been added to the RLC interface for PDCP
* remove blocking write from pdcp and rlc write_sdu() interface
* all writes into queues need to be non-blocking
* if Tx queues are overflowing, SDUs are dropped above PDCP, not RLC
* log warning if RLC still needs to drop SDUs
* this case should be avoided with the monitoring mechanism
we've added this to allow building for older glibc
version that cause issues with redefining some structs.
this patch removes the flag and auto-detects it using the glibc version
this is an extension to the currently available security
configuration and activation methods provided by PDCP.
The new call allows to specify a Rx and Tx SN after which the
entire security config, i.e. integrity and ciphering, should
be enabled.
this is mainly required for the PDCP entity of the conformance
testing SS but could potentially also be used by the eNB
to enable security for PDCP after sending the SecModeCommand
for example.
the extra call was added to not break the existing API.
previously PDCP security (integrity and ciphering) could only
be enabled for both Rx and Tx at the same time.
this, however, caused an issue during the conformance testing in which,
in TC_8_2_1_1() for example, the eNB sends a SecModeCommand and a
RRC Reconfiguration in the same MAC TB. In this case, the eNB
needs to be able to enable DL security right after sending the SecModeCmd
in order to send the RRCReconfig encrypted. However, enabling UL security needs
to be postponed until after the SecModeComplete is received.
This patch allows to enable PDCP security for rx/tx independently if
that is needed. The default way is like before, enabling it for tx/rx at
the same time.

Temporal commit
Apply rx_gain_offset to neighbour cell measurements
srsLTE: modify TESTASSERT Macro to follow codeline
SRSUE: prevent RRC from having serving cell in neighbour list

Small refactor to remove measurement report triggers always after removing measurement
SRSUE: Removed SIC PSS from UE
SRSUE: fix inter-frequency reestablishment and added more traces
SRSUE: Fix compilation issue
there were two defaults and one was shadowing the other. This
commit removes both defaults and uses blocking-mode for RRC
calls to PDCP in the UE. The eNB write_sdu() uses the non-blocking
mode by default. We have to review the eNB's RRC perhaps and use blocking
there too and non-blocking only for data plane
* Clang-formated UE, eNB and lib.
* Fixed compiling errors from clang-format.
* Fix linking issues introduced by clang-format
* Fix poor formating in initializing arrays of arrays.
* Fix mistake in conflict resolution on rm_turbo.c
* Re-apply clang format to gtpc_ies.h
happens when very small grant is provided and the status
PDU generation fails because of a too small grant
add extra check to prevent that ACK_SN is also in NACKS list
* first step towards moving MAC timers to stack. Mac is still using its own timers. srslte::timers class can be restructured.
* moved timers out of the UE MAC
- Moved most the initialization of the pdcp_entity to the header.
- Initilize some variables in gtpu_ntoa.
- Removed debug print.
- Format eNB GTP-u debugging code.
this fixes the issue when the stack is torn down if, for example,
the radio couldn't be loaded correctly. it will hence call stop() on all stack
components which are not initialzized yet, and logging therefore doesn't work.
the log object is know during contruction time and therefore can be passed
in as soon as possible.
- all RLC entities are now initialized during contruction
- there is no need to check for, e.g., existance of timers, during
runtime
- there is also no need to call re-init during resume
- timers are freed in dtor
write_sdu and write_pdu are not re-entrant because all functions
that deal with the counters, e.g. integrity check and generate,
must be protected because MAC threads may call them at the same time.
this addresses issue #254
- add a simple and low-overhead has_data() method to check whether
an RLC entity has data to transmit or not
- use this method for all calls that are actually not interested
in the amount of data to send
- use the more expensive get_buffer_state() for all cases where
the actual size of the buffer is of importance
