At first glance, it seems it's not yet implemented:
/* 8.6.1 sending RF RESOURCE INDICATION */
int rsl_tx_rf_res(struct gsm_bts_trx *trx)
{
struct msgb *nmsg;
LOGP(DRSL, LOGL_INFO, "Tx RSL RF RESource INDication\n");
nmsg = rsl_msgb_alloc(sizeof(struct abis_rsl_common_hdr));
if (!nmsg)
return -ENOMEM;
// FIXME: add interference levels of TRX
rsl_trx_push_hdr(nmsg, RSL_MT_RF_RES_IND);
nmsg->trx = trx;
return abis_bts_rsl_sendmsg(nmsg);
}
At rx time:
static int abis_rsl_rx_trx(struct msgb *msg)
{
...
case RSL_MT_RF_RES_IND:
/* interference on idle channels of TRX */
//DEBUGP(DRSL, "%s RF Resource Indication\n", gsm_trx_name(sign_link->trx));
break;
...
We should at least fix the packet to contain a len=0 field at least.

Fix provided in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/5273/
I'll create a new task to remember to implement the interference level information.

Fix malformed Resource Indication packet
Wireshark was showing a Malformed packet alert, and further
ivnestigation showed that "Resource Information" TLV was missing in the
packet. See GSM 08.58 sections 8.6.1 and 9.3.21 for more information.
Indicating interference level is not yet implemented, but at least now
we avoid sending a malformed packet.
Patch has been validated against a running setup with wireshark in my local PC.
