when a small grant is provided it might not be possible to fit a full status
PDU. This is currently detected while packing the PDU.
In order to avoid sending potentiall contradicting status info to the sending
entity, the fix makes sure to only transmit a small PDU acking what really
has been received so far.
This might not be optimal in terms for retx but will not corrupt any
state.
it turned out that a certain order of events can lead to
a RLC transmitter stalling because even though unacknowledged PDUs
are queued, none of them was actually considered for retx.
This can happen if a pollRetxTimer expires for a SN that, meanwhile,
has already been acknowledged. The positive lead to the deletion of
the SN from the Tx window.
The fix makes sure that when a retx for a unexisting SN is requested,
the sender will consider the next unacknowledged SN instead.
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).
TSAN doesn't work well then threads are created with attributes
thar require root rights but the process is run as normal user.
this patch avoid the thread attributes in this case. TSAN isn't going
to be used for production builds.
although the manual test with Amarisoft eNB worked fine it seems
the delay is still needed in the default case. Over 50% of the
tests failed in the nightly with:
[zmq] Error: tx time is 0.067 ms in the past (138240 < 139776)
[zmq] Error: tx time is 1.100 ms in the past (184320 < 209664)
While this usleep() should increase the pass likelihood it
still doesn't guarantee error-free runs, so we might need
to revisit it again as some stage.
the thread workers need access to their current state to exit properly
when they are set to state STOP. However, since the state is kept in
a std::vector for all workers, it seems more appropiate to add a per-thread
running variable rather then mutexing the entire vector.
