tbf: Use DL discard hysteresis (TODO)
Currently single LLC blocks are discarded when the expire. If an IP
packet has been fragmented and is therefore distributed over several
LLC frames, the kept fragments are transmitted and then discarded by
the MS. This can cause massive IP packet loss when there are many
fragmented packets (e.g. when trying 'ping -s1800').
Also TCP recovery algorithms (default, SACK) seem to work better,
if a single block of a few packets is missing instead of many single
packets scattered over the TCP stream.
On the other hand, discarding too many packets might disturb the
congestion handling of TCP. Dropping plain TCP ACKs might also hinder
flow control and congestion avoidance.
This commit adds a hysteresis algorithm to the LLC discard loop. If
an LLC message's age reaches the high water mark, further message's
with an age above the low water mark are discarded, too. This is
aborted, if a GMM, a non-UI, or a small message is detected. In
these cases, that message is kept.
TODO:
- make low and high expiry watermarks configurable
- make the keep threshold configurable

tbf: Poll MS on idle DL TBFs
If an MS wants to open a new UL TBF, it can either use (P)RACH or
request one in a Ack/Nack message for a DL TBF (PACCH). When a TBF
becomes idle (LCC queue is empty but the TBF is kept open), there
aren't any Ack/Nack requests that can be used by the MS to ask for an
UL TBF, therefore it has to use the RACH. This leads to many RACH
requests even for a single HTTP transaction, so it takes some time to
retrieve even a simple web page.
This commit modifies the scheduler to regularly send Ack/Nack
requests on idle DL TBFs. It does so by extending the priority based
scheduling algorithm to have 5 priority levels (highest priority
first):
- Control block is pending
- High age (100%) threshold reached (-> request Ack/Nack)
- Data is waiting or there are pending Nacks
- Low age (200ms) threshold reached (-> request Ack/Nack)
- Pending Nacks that have been resent already
- None of the above (-> send DL dummy control block)
The 'age' refers to the time since since the last control block has
been sent on the TBF. This high age threshold is set to
dl-tbf-idle-time or to 50% of T3190 (whichever is smaller), aiming
for at least a poll (and TBF shutdown) after the TBF has expired and
to safely prevent expiry of T3190. So if dl-tbf-idle-time > 200ms,
there will be a poll every 200ms and a final poll after
dl-tbf-idle-time. On high load, the interval between polls can get
higher, but the 'high age' poll should be in place.
This commit implements the scheduling with respect to GSM 44.060,
9.3.1a ("Delayed release of downlink TBF").

tbf: Only create dummy frames if necessary
Currently a lot of LLC dummy commands will be generated while waiting
for an ACK for the DL TBF, even if there are blocks that could be
resent instead.
This patch modifies create_dl_acked_block to only call
create_new_bsn() if there is unsent LLC data or m_window is empty.
If the TBF is in state FLOW, no unsent LLC data is left, but there
are blocks left in m_window, those are resent instead.

tbf: Implement delayed release of a downlink TBF
Currently a DL TBF is immediately closed, when the LLC queue is
drained. This will lead to a new DL assignment if data is received
afterwards. In addition, it is not possible to keep the PACCH open
to poll the MS for UL establishment requests there.
GSM 44.060, 9.3.1a suggests to delay the release of an inactive TBF
for some time (max 5s).
This commit mainly changes create_new_bsn() to send LLC dummy
commands as filler if no LLC data is available until keep_open()
returns false. The keep_open() functions returns true unless a
configurable time has passed after the LLC data store drained. By
default, that time is not set which causes keep_open() to always
return false, so that delayed release is effectively disabled.
The following VTY commands are added:
- dl-tbf-idle-time <1-5000> to set the delay in ms
- no dl-tbf-idle-time to disable delayed release

tbf: Insert LLC dummy command if no frame is available
If a BSN is going to be created but there is no frame stored in
m_llc, an empty LLC message would be created. This shouldn't happen
currently, but this will be a common case, when delayed TBF release
is implemented.
This commit changes create_new_bsn() to create an LLC dummy
command in that case and to put it into the frame buffer.

tbf: Use put_frame in append_data if the TBF has no data
Currently if append_data() is used when there is no LLC data in the DL TBF,
it will either call reuse_tbf() which in turn will call put_frame(),
or it will append the LLC message to the queue, even if the queue and
the frame buffer are empty. This only happens with the test case so
far, but this would change when idle DL TBFs are kept open for some
time. It results in empty LLC message being sent to the MS (see log
below).
This commit changes append_data to check for this case and to
eventually use put_frame() instead of appending the LLC data to the
queue.
Addresses:
TBF(TFI=0 TLLI=0x00000000 DIR=DL STATE=FLOW) downlink (V(A)==0 ..
V(S)==0)
- Sending new block at BSN 0
-- Chunk with length 0 is less than remaining space (20): add length
header to to delimit LLC frame
Complete DL frame for TBF(TFI=0 TLLI=0x00000000 DIR=DL STATE=FLOW)len=0
- Dequeue next LLC for TBF(TFI=0 TLLI=0x00000000 DIR=DL STATE=FLOW)
(len=200)

tbf: Add frames_since_last_poll method
This functions calculates the number of frames that have passed since
the last DL poll (RRBP flag set) has been sent. It returns a value
less than zero (fn_now - fn_sched) if the block has been scheduled but
not yet sent.
If the function is called before the first data block has been sent
it will return -1.
If the function is called before the first DL poll is sent, it
returns the number of frames since the first data block has been
sent.

tbf/test: Fix fn/block_nr in test_tbf_final_ack
Currently fn and block_nr are not incremented correctly. In addition,
the comments around the sending of blocks are not accurate either.
This commit introduces the send_rlc_block helper function which takes
care of the increments, updates the comments to reflect what is
really happening, and adds assertion to verify at least some aspects
of what is now stated in the comments.

llc: Add put_dummy_frame to create an LLC dummy command
The LLC dummy command is needed for RLC block stuffing, e.g. when a
TBF should be kept open if no LLC data is available. The RLC block
headers do not support stuffing, only the last block of a TBF can be
used partially. LLC dummy commands are discarded by the receiver
immediately, because the have an invalid FCS checksum.
This commit adds the function put_dummy_frame, which puts a LLC dummy
command into the frame buffer. The requested length is given as an
argument, but the real length might be adjusted according to the
specification (see GSM 44.064, 6.4.2.2).
