Description

Since the coverage has increased TC_ho_int permanently failes. Surprisingly TC_ho_int stops failing when the testcase is executed a second time without restarting osmo-bsc. Only a freshly restarted osmo-bsc seems to trigger the problem.

I managed to find out the reason for the handover problem. First of all I did not notice the problem at first because I kept osmo-bsc running while debugging the TTCN3 tests. When osmo-bsc restarts the test failes, but when I kept osmo-bsc running the test passed. The reason for this was that the same lchan as with the test before got re-used and the struct memebers that hold the ip/port were still populated from the prevous run (it did the IPACC negotiation, but a fraction of a time too late).

So first of all I made it failing reliably by deleting those struct members with the lchan_free()
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-bsc/+/10038 chan_alloc: delete rtp voice related in lchan_free()

Since the IPACC negotiation is done a tiny bit too late I added a signal handler to handover_logic that listens to SS_ABISIP for an IPACC CRCX. Before I signal to the GSCON FSM that the handover is done I check if we have a valid port in the lchan struct. If yes, everything is ok and I proceed. If no I set a flag. The next IPACC CRCX that comes along will then trigger the signal that tells the GSCON FSM that the handover is (finally) done.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-bsc/+/10039 handover_logic: make sure IPACC is done before MGCP

The reason why this problem has been undetected for presumably longer time was that the as_media() was not verifying if there is an MDCX or not. Now it does and it detects the problem. Unfortunately the as_handover also needed some fixing in order to be a bit more robust against the racing problem with the IPACC, MGCP and RSL.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-bsc/+/10039/ is not merged yet but TC_ho_int is passing again, so lets abandon gerrit change 10039.
