This implements the STOP.request/indication for all 3 transport mechanisms, the VNF will send the STOP.request to the PNF, indicating it will disconnect, and await a STOP.indication from the PNF
The WLS VNF is reworked to be able to start before the PNF, by calling call rte_eal_init and rte_dev_probe to determine if dpdk has been initialized properly, before calling rte_eal_init in the intended process when it is appropriate to do so
This allows access to the VNF configuration in the various transport mechanisms straight from config, without this, the transport specific thread would cause a segmentation fault when trying to access the pack/unpack function pointers.
Add 2 functions to access the P5 and P7 VNF structures, to avoid having to always cast user_data and p7_vnfs
Remove duplicated functions in fapi_vnf_p7.c, leaving only functions for messages that require usage of the secondaty data_buf for unpacking
Move vnf_info struct declaration to nfapi_vnf.h to be available in fapi_nvIPC.c
Update NR P5 and P7 nFAPI headers to have 32-bit message_length
In the NR functions, this causes the header parameters following message_length to have their position shifted by 2 bytes, due to the increase in message_length size.
Change needed to accommodate SCF222.10.02 Table 3-3
Separates nfapi_p4_p5_message_header_t and nfapi_nr_p4_p5_message_header_t
Change the callbacks signature to accept/return void* intead of expecting a particular header type, being the NR/LTE distinction done inside the callback functions.
Create NR related functions for nFAPI transmit timestamp and checksum calculation.
Move nfapi_p7_codec_config_t and nfapi_p4_p5_codec_config_t to separate header to be shared between LTE and NR VNF/PNF
Move nfapi_nr_timing_info_t into NR header.
Move NR specific function declarations to NR header.
Resolve error:
nfapi/oai_integration/aerial/fapi_nvIPC.h:56:16: error: unknown type name ‘nvipc_params_t’
56 | int nvIPC_Init(nvipc_params_t nvipc_params_s);
By including the header. Also, move the definiton of the struct to the
MAC, where it is actually stored, and out of the radio common_lib.h,
since this is not a radio (split 7/8) parameter.
As is visible at the top of the patch, for compiling aerial_lib (the
binding FAPI-Aerial), we always add ENABLE_AERIAL. Thus, all the code
within ENABLE_AERIAL will be compiled; we can also simply take it out.
making aerial shm prefix configurable (so we can use muliptle VNFs per PNF)
making the nvipc thread affinity configurable and using threadCreate.
removing aerial_vnf_nr_aerial_p7_start_thread
