this patch replaces the std::vector type used in the interface between
PDCP and RLC to signal delivery status between both layers. The new
data type is a configurable but fixed-size vector.
The RLC AM doesn't need to dynamically allocate the vector for every SN but
uses the tx_window for storage.
* Added interfaces for the RLC to notify the PDCP of failure to transmit
SDU
* Limit discard timer to 1500ms, to avoid issues of lingering SDUs in the undeliverd_sdus_queue.
* Fix bug in early exit of notify_delivery and notify_failure
* fix compilation issue in rlc-pdcp notification

PDCP PDUs. This includes:
- Modifying the byte_buffer_t to include PDCP SN meta-data. This way,
the RLC can keep track of the ack'ed bytes for a specific PDCP PDU.
- Added in the RLC an `undelivered_sdu_info queue`, to keep track of the
amount of ack'ed bytes and the total size of the PDCP PDU,
so the RLC can know when delivery is finished.
- Added an interface between the PDCP and the RLC so that the RLC can
notify the PDCP when it receives an ack from the status PDUs. The RLC
passes to the PDCP a vector of all the ack'ed pdus in a rx'ed status PDU.
- Added some tests to the notify functionality. This includes some tests
where the PDUs are acked imediatly, and one test where the PDU is
retx'ed.
- multiple tunnels per E-RAB
- data forwarding between connected GTPU tunnels
- forwarding GTPU End Marker between connected tunnels
- TeNB GTPU handles in-sequence delivery when multiple tunnels for the same ERAB exist.
* - Started porting the enb PHY layer to use srslog loggers.
- Updated srslog to manage the none level.
* Finished porting enb phy layer including the NR part.
* Ported MAC, GTPU, PDCP, RLC and S1AP enb classes to use srslog.
* Use new stack logger.
* Ported the enb RRC clases to use srslog.
* Remove unused log macros.
* Replace loggers in sched, sched_carrier, sched_helpers.
* Replaced loggers in sched grid.
* Replaced loggers in sched harq.
* Replaced loggers in sched ue.
* Replaced loggers in sched ue ctrl.
* Replace loggers in sched ue ctrl TPC.
* Replaced loggers in sched subclasses.
* Replaced loggers in rrc_meascfg_test
* Configure loggers in rrc_mobility_test.
* Fix compilation errors left out after the rebase.
* - Implement a custom log sink that will serve as a test spy to intercept and count the number of error and warning log entries.
- Adapt the erab_test_setup and rrc_mobility tests to use this new class and make them pass again.
* - Remove trailing new lines introduced in the rebase.
- Ported the sched_ue_cell class to srslog.
* Remove unused log member.
* Ported mac tests to srslog.
* - Removed remaining trailing newlines from log entries.
* Fix compiler errors detected in CI.
* Fix another static variable without definition passed to log lines.
* Fixed a bug in srslog::flush that would never end when the backend queue is full.
* Fetch the RRC logger instead of injecting it in the constructor.
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
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.
