Move the filling of DRBs to set up for UE context setup/modification
request into the corresponding functions, and use malloc() deliberately
to avoid memory leaks. In fact fill_drb_to_be_setup_from_e1_resp()
allocates memory dynamically (and has to do that), so the easiest is to
do the same for DRBs. The most straight-forward way seems to be to then
dynamically allocate all memory for F1 UE context setup/modification
request messages, and free with the corresponding free functions,
which removes a couple of memory leaks.
Similarly to the commit "Use F1 UE context setup/modif Request in
stack", we do both UE context setup/modification response at once
because of some functions that are shared by the MAC message handler.
Use the new, tested F1 UE context setup request and modification
requests in the stack.
We have to do both at once, because there are some functions that are
used by handlers for both messages, notably
- handle_ue_context_drbs_setup()
- handle_ue_context_srbs_setup()
(+ and some functions called by those two). For instance, the first uses
the (new/old) type f1ap_drb_to_be_setup_t/f1ap_drb_to_setup_t which is
shared. The alternative would be to duplicate the functionality
temporarily, and I want to avoid unnecessary code churn.
Reintroduce separate message types to simplify the encoding/decoding,
including shorter names. The old types will be removed once everything
has been migrated to the new encoder/decoder, which should ensure that
everything is properly migrated to the unit-tested encoder/decoders.
Also, for each type of F1 message (F1 UE context setup request,
response, modification request, ...) introduce a separate type to avoid
to mistakenly use wrong fields, which can lead to bugs. In this regard,
the DL PDCP SN bit size in the DRB-ToBeSetup list of the UE context
setup request is optional, as it will also be used in the UE context
modification request DRB SetupMod list (which avoids quite some code
duplication). The encoder checks that this IE is present, though.
The previous condition was wrong: if a UE did not have the assoc_id of
the DU that connected (i.e., it was connected to another DU then the one
disconnecting), it was marked for deletion. Instead, skip those UEs.
This modification aims to improve health status detection by using PRACH IO as
an indicator of the gNB's status (container is marked as "healthy" when the
PRACH IO value in gNB nrL1_stats.log exceeds 0.0 dB.). The new condition accounts
for scenarios where the container may not exit or produce error codes (e.g.,
“sleep” logs or "error code overflow" messages).
- `init: true` initializes the docker container with tini or alternative - it is
used to collect all the processes and correctly pass the termination signal to
them, this allows the docker container to be stopped without waiting 10 seconds
to kill the container
- speeding up the healthchecks by reducing the interval from 1-10s to 0.5s during
start period

F1AP_LIB_FIND_IE() is used to look up elements in a list, but was
hitherto hardcoded to use "protocolIEs" as an intermediate struct. A
follow-up commit will use this macro where we don't have protocolIEs,
but "iE_Extensions". Hence, modify to make it work for that case (and
others) as well.
Introduce generic _F1_CHECK_EXP(), which is like the macros for checking
values (_F1_EQ_CHECK_INT() etc). Reuse the same for introducing
_F1_EQ_CHECK_OPTIONAL_IE that will be used to write the check for
optional fields more concisely.
CP_OPT_BYTE_ARRAY() FREE_OPT_BYTE_ARRAY() are macros to wrap handling of
optional byte arrays.
_F1_MALLOC() simplifies allocations and is similar to asn1cCallocOne(),
but provided to avoid confusion (since more than ASN.1 structures will
use it).
All will be used in the following commits.
Switches the used socket type in pnf_interface.c and vnf_interface.c.
These values must always be the same in both components so the same socket type is used in both
Adds 3 new function pointers to the P5 and P7 VNF structures, allowing to configure which function to use to pack/unpack the messages, as well as unpack the message header, being then used seamlessly regardless of using the FAPI or nFAPI functions.
Adds 3 new function pointers to the P5 and P7 PNF structures, allowing to configure which function to use to pack/unpack the messages, as well as unpack the message header, being then used seamlessly regardless of using the FAPI or nFAPI functions.
Changes the header unpack and message unpack functions to return true on success and false on failure, instead of an int
This change is done in preparation to add the header unpack functions to the VNF and PNF structures as function pointers, used to peek the message headers prior to processing.
Add a faux fapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack with the same signature as nfapi_nr_p7_message_header_unpack, to be used for the P7 header unpack function pointer.

- The RRCReconfiguration will be triggered by the RRCReestablishmentComplete

Cleanup PDU Session Handling in RRC/NGAP
Currently, NGAP and RRC share the same structures and responsibilities when
handling PDU Session information: this creates tight coupling, redundancy, and
makes the code harder to maintain.
- NGAP should be responsible only for: Protocol-specific encoding/decoding
(3GPP TS 38.413)
- RRC should own: PDU Session handling and storage in the UE context
This MR is the first step in a broader refactoring of the PDU Session handling
code across NGAP and RRC layers, with the goal of splitting responsibilities
cleanly between both modules.
- Unified gtpu_tunnel_t for tunnel endpoint config (formerly f1u_tunnel_t)
- Refactored and relocated PDU Session struct definitions for better separation
between NGAP and RRC
- Moved pdusession_t for PDU Session handling out of NGAP, now defined and
managed by RRC only
- Defined 3GPP TS 38.413 message-specific structs in NGAP module
- NGAP now decodes NGAP PDU Session Resource Setup/Modify IEs and transfers
decoded data to RRC via ITTI
- Add helper functions to copy from NGAP message to pdusession_t
- Introduced new encoders/decoders/helpers in NGAP for handling PDU Session
Resource Setup/Modify procedures (e.g. decode_pdusession_transfer)
- Migrated to NGAP and removed duplicated logic for QoS information decoding
(fill_qos)
- Improved logging of GTP tunnel info
- Merged redundant functions (f1u_dl_gtp_update and f1u_ul_gtp_update)
- Removed unused code and obsolete types
- do free_func in seq_arr_erase_it on the provided range and updated unit test
- Other fixes and simplifications (e.g. simplified and clarified naming of
tunnel/session parameters and structs)
This cleanup improves code readability, has a high code churn (the deletions are
~159.7% of the insertions) and prepares for better modularity before the
refactoring of PDU Session handling in RRC/NGAP.
