Instead of hardcoding to 0, instruct the GTP module to send N3 GTP
packets with the right GTP.
We currently only support one QoS Flow, so check that it is really only
one.
Currently, NR PDCP ticks are active only with monolithic gNB, triggered by the MAC scheduler in gNB_scheduler.c.
In F1 split mode, as there is no MAC, there’s no source to advance the NR PDCP timer via "nr_pdcp_wakeup_timer_thread()".
This commit introduces a dedicated thread for NR PDCP ticks in gNB-CU and CU-UP mode.
Without it, packet losses at the F1 uplink would cause indefinite buffering, as t-Reordering won't expire due to the lack of NR PDCP timer ticks.
Prior to this commit, there was a global variable baseNetAddress that
could be set independently through a setter and also through the
configuration module. This baseNetAddress (16 bits IPv4) would then be
complemented with two more bytes in nas_config().
However, this is counter-productive, as not only we have a global
variable that is avoidable (we can give the entire address to
nas_config() directly), but it also would not work with IPv6. Hence,
modify to give nas_config() the entire address. A follow-up commit will
add IPv6 support.
Instead of implicitly using a hardcoded prefix "oaitun_" interface
name, move that out to the callers of these functions to make it clear.
The ID still remains outside.
The "sister functions" nas_config_mbms()/netlink_init_tun_mbms() will do
the same change in the next commit.
Remove netlink code, and the PDCP_USE_NETLINK macro, as there is no
known use, it makes the code more complicated, and is simply "technical
debt".
In 4G PDCP, a subtle change has been introduced, in pdcp_module_init()
of pdcp.c. Looking at the diff of this commit, it can be seen that there
is now a new "else-if (ENB_NAS_USE_TUN_W_MBMS_BIT)" branch that is under
what was the "if (PDCP_USE_NETLINK)" branch, while the code fragment was
actually inside the "else" branch of PDCP_USE_NETLINK. This seems to be
necessary: previously, if we did not use noS1 mode and we don't use any
TUN (i.e., the eNB), the else block would set up this interface. It is
important that this interface is brought up, because if we omit it,
RFsim will not work. It seems to me that this interface will regularly
create some traffic; without it, RFsim will be blocked, and the UE
cannot connect.
In short, it seems to be important to have the MBMS interface, which
injects traffic in the RFsim side, which will unblock RFsim. The change
in pdcp_module_init() preserves the total changes of the if-else
(PDCP_USE_NETLINK).
Remove function pointers that were used in the past to implement the
F1(-U) interface in 4G, i.e., to have different functions to handle
split/monolithic operations. As we don't have F1 in 4G anymore (see
commit 9dc2282249), we don't need the
function pointers anymore.
On that occasion, rename the 5G functions by prepending nr_ to them;
this allows to refactor the interface in 5G further (which is not the
focus of this changeset).

but are not used, remove the generation
It might be desirable to run the UE without superuser rights. More
concretely, it might run without NET_ADMIN. In this case, various
corresponding operations on the TUN socket fd might fail. In this
commit,
- improve error reports to make them more clear
- do not automatically exit(1), but return from the function to ensure
continuity of the softmodem
The main work of this commit is to rewrite cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
which was too slow and created issues when running the 4G eNB on some
machines (LLL when using a b210).
Instead of creating the security context, use it, and delete it, all in
cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac(), we introduce the function init_aes_128_cbc_cmac()
to create it, and we change cipher_aes_128_cbc_cmac() to just use it,
and we also adapt free_aes_128_cbc_cmac(). The function aes_128_cbc_cmac()
is removed, it does not follow the new init/use/free API.
Doing so, on the primary test machine used to do this work (a powerful
and fast machine where it is possible to set the CPUs' frequencies)
it was possible to limit the CPUs' frequencies to 500 MHz (it was not
possible to go lower) without any LLL (using a b210, quectel UE in
idle, no data traffic, only periodic measurement reports). Before this
commit, it was necessary to set a frequency of at least 1.8 GHz
otherwise some LLL would appear.
Then we need to adapt the rest of the code to take into account those
changes.
A notion of security container (stream_security_container_t) containing
ciphering and integrity contexts is introduced.
And the code is harmonized for, hopefully, better readability.
The (opaque) type stream_security_context_t is introduced, used by
both integrity and ciphering contexts. The idea is to use a
init()/use()/free() API for all the security procedures, identical for
all the ciphering and integrity procedures.
Introduce the structure nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t and adapt code to use it.
Note: in nr_pdcp_sdu_t we keep the 'count' variable (which is also present
in nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t). They represent the same value, but 'count'
in nr_pdcp_integrity_data_t is to be specifically used for integrity while
the other one has other uses, so it's better to keep it.
The use of security_mode_completed in the PDCP entity was a hack.
Plus it was not working at all with the deregistration request
when nea2 is used, sent when doing ctrl+c in the nrUE.
So let's remove it.
And let's handle activation of integrity and ciphering more in
accordance with what 38.331 says. SecurityModeComplete has to
be sent integrity protected, but not ciphered. Only after should
the ciphering be activated. (See 38.331 5.3.4.3.)
- PDCP reestablishment on CUCP (DRBs) triggering Bearer Context Modification procedures over E1
- Performing PDCP reestablishment for requested DRBs on CUUP
- Introduced function to notify re-establishment to CU-UP
- removed call to PDCP reestablishment for the DRBs on CUCP (it's done on CUUP)
cuup_notify_reestablishment:
- to fetch PDU session to setup in E1 following logic as in e1_send_bearer_updates
- fill bearer context modification request with stored F1-U tunnel information
during E1 reestablishment, otherwise it would initialized to 0 by default
- update GTP tunnel with the stored configuration after E1 reestablishment
- many structs and definitions are overlapping between the two different E1 procedures
- introduced naming specific to E1 Bearer Context Modification to improve readability
- grouped SDAP and PDCP configuration IEs for better reusability and readability
- introduced functions to set and get default PDCP config (DRBs and Bearer Contexts)
find_or_next_pdu_session:
- find_or_next_pdu_session refers to the E1 Bearer Context Modification Request
-- therefore it has to return pdu_session_to_mod_t* and takes in input e1ap_bearer_mod_req_t *
see !MR2545 for more context
- triggered by RRC reconfiguration events according to clause 5.3.5.6.5 of TS 38.331
- This procedure does QoS flow to DRB mapping according to clause 5.3.1 of TS 37.324
- QoS flows to DRBs to be released are also handled
