send NS_POUT_UNBLOCK_ACK before signalling S_NS_UNBLOCK

In gprs_ns_process_msg(), we were dispatching the S_NS_UNBLOCK
signal before sending out the NS_POUT_UNBLOCK_ACK message.

Signal handlers might send messages to the other side, assuming
that NS is now unblocked. However, since such messages will arrive
before the UNBLOCK_ACK message the receiver might discard them.
This problem has been observed with our TTCN3 BSSGP_Emulation
as a peer to osmo-pcu.

This patch makes TTCN3 PCU TC_paging() test pass regardless of
whether the test or osmo-pcu is started first. Before this patch,
this test would only pass if the test was started before osmo-pcu.
A remaining problem is that the test does not yet keep passing
reliably unless osmo-pcu is restarted between test runs.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
