Description

In the test setup at my home office, I can occasionally see osmo-remsim-client-st2 get stuck when the Modem (in this case a Quectel EC20) is performing PTS with the card.

In the log of osmo-remsim-client-st2 I can see:

SIMtrace => PTS req: ff 10 94 7b 00 00 ^M
SIMtrace -> 01 07 00 00 00 00 15 00 04 ff 10 94 7b 00 00 ff 10 94 7b ^M
SIMtrace => PTS req: ff 10 94 7b 00 00 ^M
SIMtrace IRQ 01 04 00 00 00 00 15 00 13 00 00 00 00 00 09 04 0a 80 25 00 00 ^M

after which the communication doens't proceed. After a long time, the modem seems to retry without PTS and then proceeds with normal SIM card communication.

The SIM Card ATR in this case is 3b7d9400005555530a7486930b247c4d5468.

Serial Console output at the time this happens:

-I- 0: ATR set: 3b 7d 94 00 00 55 55 53 0a 74 86 93 0b 24 7c 4d 54 68 
-I- 0: De-asserting modem reset
-I- 0: RST released
-I- 0: RST asserted
-I- 0: VCC activated
-I- 0: CLK activated
-I- 0: RST released
-I- 0: computed Fi(1) Di(1) ratio: 372
-I- 0: computed Fi(9) Di(4) ratio: 64
-I- 0: send_tpdu_header: 00 a4 00 04 02
-I- 0: flush_rx_buffer (5)

So based on this we can see that the firmware thinks it has sent the heaer of the first APDU after the PTS, but somehow the simtrace2 host software doesn't claim to know anything about it.

Doing a usbmon/tshark capture shows the following message on the USB BULK IN endpoint:

010600000000130001000000050000a4000402

This clearly contains the APDU header of the first APDU after the PTS. so it appears to be the remsim-client software that's somehow loosing/dropping it.

problem can be avoided by the following patch:

This ensures multiple URB are submitted and we're never starving the device of IN EP URBs.

I'm again observing this despite the four submitted URBs :(

As an interim work-around we can of course simply advertise an ATR that supports only lower speeds.. but I don't really like that and would prefer a proper solution.
