The GTP module is common for 4G and 5G. It hardcodes the functions to
call when creating S1U and NGU tunnels. The S1U case is both applicable
for LTE and NR (NSA), which until now was not a problem as the PDCP data
forwarding functions where called pdcp_data_req. The issue is that in this
branch, the NR PDCP functions have changed to nr_pdcp_data_req_drb().
When setting up a GTP tunnel, we now pass the PDCP data forwarding
functions into GTP, since the caller knows whether it is in 4G or 5G,
but GTP itself does not.
For some (unclear) reason, nr-softmodem with aw2s device does not print
"Bye." when stopping it with control+c, which is problematic in the CI.
This little hack solves the problem.
(Maybe not the right solution, to be changed if needed.)
In the UE, we wish to handle ^C in the UE to send a message before
terminating, so we allow custom wait handlers to implement such
functionality. Use itti_wait_tasks_unblock() to unblock
itti_wait_tasks_end().
Also, implement itti_wait_tasks_end() using semaphores, as signals are
not async-signal-safe (and therefore should not be used in a signal
handler).
nr_pdcp_entity_recv_sdu() processes PDCP SDUs, and forwards the PDU at the
end of the function, while having the PDCP lock. This can lead to
deadlocks, e.g., when another thread goes through RLC and tries to
access the PDCP while the PDCP tries to lock the RLC.
This commit changes the logic: instead of having recv_sdu() forward the
PDU directly, it fills a buffer with the PDU (thus the name change to
process_sdu()), and returns. We then unlock the PDCP, before forwarding
the PDU, thus eliminating potential deadlocks.
Creates function that have nr_pdcp_ prepended to their name, and change
the signature of some functions for the 5G PDCP:
- nr_pdcp_layer_init()
- nr_pdcp_data_req()
- nr_pdcp_remove_UE()
- nr_pdcp_config_set_security()
- nr_pdcp_remove_UE()
- Make separate functions for nr_pdcp_data_req_srb/drb()
