ns2: Work around AF_PACKET socket ENOBUFS problems

AF_PACKET sockets cannot be written-to using select(), as they
will always return "writable" but then still fail with ENOBUFS.

This also means that we cannot use osmo_wqueue() as it assumes
that a writable socket can actually be written to.

As there's no way to figure out when exactly we can again perform
a successful write, we have no other option but to start a timer
and re-try at a later time.

We will scale that timer based on the estimated duration of transmission
for the just-failed PDU on the line rate of a 31TS E1 Line.

Furthermore, with this patch, we stop queueing anything but signaling
traffic (NS-BVCI=0) or Q.933 LMI.  User data (NS-BVCI != 0) will
instead be dropped in order to avoid buffer-bloat.

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 libosmocore.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
