Patch Set 5: Code-Review-1

(6 comments)

current patch set has more holes than a swiss cheese, but I have a better idea...

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c
File src/hlr_ussd.c:

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c@175
PS5, Line 175: 	struct osmo_timer_list subscr_timeout;
let's take this ss->subscr from the top. I had a very simple idea in mind, but it wasn't thought through properly, confused you guys and has now mutated to a timeouted cache of stale data... Let's drop this again.

Here is a probably much better approach:

- store only the MSC name in ss->.

- For all MO USSD sessions, store the originating MSC's vlr_name in ss-> on the first message coming in from the MSC/VLR. Whatever happens, always route back to that MSC name: all errors and replies. This should then prevent all additional database lookups.

- For MT USSD sessions, there will be no MSC's vlr_name stored in ss-> at first. Do a db lookup for routing to the right vlr_name, store it in ss->vlr_name.

Hence we will hit the db for routing at most once per ss_session, will not keep any other stale subscr state, don't need timers.

thx


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c@254
PS5, Line 254: 		osmo_timer_schedule(&ss->subscr_timeout, OSMO_SESSION_SUBSCRIBER_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 0);
(this was not even assigning anything to ss->subscr)


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c@263
PS5, Line 263: USSD
> 'SS/USSD' would be more correct, as we would also deal with "structured" Supplementary Services some […]
(ack, I have no good idea about naming here)


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c@286
PS5, Line 286: resp_msg = gsm0480_msgb_alloc_name(__func__);
> So here we allocate a message buffer on heap... […]
agree, but separate patch.


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/13479/5/src/hlr_ussd.c@343
PS5, Line 343: 		osmo_timer_schedule(&ss->subscr_timeout, OSMO_SESSION_SUBSCRIBER_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 0);
(setting ss->subscr to point at local struct subscr becomes invalid memory as soon as the function exits)
