Avoid LCR-Stalling
by Konrad Meier 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Dear List, At the moment I am building a GSM-Network with OpenBSC and three NanoBTS at the University of Freiburg. The purpose of this network is teaching and research. The Network has an ISDN BRI Interface which allows every gsm-phone to be called over a land line telephony number. We had huge problems with LCR-Stalling in our setup which lead to a increasing delay during a call (up to 6-10 seconds...). We could trace the problem to lookups in the database hlr.sqlite3. After some time the database was about 18MB big and it took some time to perform operations in the database. The quick solution was to copy the database to a RAM-Disk. A RAM-Disk can be created like this: sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=300M tmpfs ramdisk After that, we never had seen stalling anymore. But this can only be considered as a quick hack because in case of a system failure all changes to the database are lost. Is someone at the moment working on a interface to a better database system? Maybe I find some student who can do this. Regards Konrad Meier

hi, it would make sense to run database lookup in a seperate thread (with lower priority). but in this case the database request function of openbsc will not have a result at the time they return. it would take some changes of the processes which do database lookups. i think it will be some work, but it can be done. regards, andreas

VTY Crash due an assumption we are breaking
by Holger Hans Peter Freyther 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi all, I was debugging a crash with the VTY and I am not fully understanding it but I can easily reproduce it. The problem is triggered with the new VTY OML code and here is what I know. 1.) we move from ENABLE_NODE to the OML node. and allocate memory 2.) when exiting the node we will free the data at vty->index.. and set the pointer to NULL. But I can easily produce a double free issue and this seems to be due. cmd_execute_command: 1.) saves the vty->index to oindex and vty->node to onode 2.) tries calling vty_go_parent or such... 3.) tries more stuff... 4.) as stuff failed resets vty->index to oindex... so the next exit command will do a double free... and the funny part is that the code has one assumption everything > CONFIG_NODE is considered to be config as well. This means that we should have two enum values in libosmovty, one for Last_Enable, one for Last_Config and have enough space between them. And the other part... maybe vty_go_parent should return CMD_SUCCESS? thoughts? [1] ./script | telnet localhost 4242 and see the bsc_hack/bsc_msc_io crash

Wanted: Osmocom logo
by Harald Welte 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi! It's about time that we find some kind of graphical project logo for the Osmocom project. Osmocom is intended as an umbrella project for software like OpenBSC, OsmoSGSN, OsmocomBB and others. So it might even be interesting to have some kind of 'family' of logos that all have the same general theme.... At least the bigger projects like OpenBSC and OsmocomBB definitely deserve their own incarnation within that family. If you want to contribute to our project but are not a die-hard C developer, this is your option to contribute! The logo must be under a license that permits use+modification for the Osmocom project itself. Editability for the general public is not important. With regard to formats, I would prefer something as SVG that we can then render into pngs of various sizes whenever there is demand for it. If you have a proposal, simply send it (or a link to a URL) to the openbsc(a)lists.gnumonks.org mailing list. Thanks in advance for any submissions! -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
