Description

I am getting these warnings when starting osmo-bts-trx:

Given that I am using up to date osmo-bsc and osmo-bts-trx, why is this happening? Another race condition?

In which scenario are you receiving this? Cold startup of all the processes? or after doing something specific like restarting osmo-bts-trx after everything was set up?

Please provide pcap so that all the OML/RSL negotiation can be seen, together with gsmtap log of bsc or bts.

In which scenario are you receiving this?

Basically, every time I start osmo-bts-trx.

Cold startup of all the processes?

I have not tried to restart all processed, but restarting the BSC does not change anything - I still see the warnings.

or after doing something specific like restarting osmo-bts-trx after everything was set up?

Starting and restarting gives the same warnings.

Please provide pcap so that all the OML/RSL negotiation can be seen, together with gsmtap log of bsc or bts.

Please find it attached.

First analysis after looking only at OML so far:

I see the trace has 2 TRX, that may be something important to take into consideration when looking at the issue. Do you see the same issues when running with 1 TRX?

  • First thing I don't understand and I never saw: Why is BSC sending "BTS Get Attributes" even before the BTS sends the Activated Report? (frame #133).
  • Similarly, Get Attributes for both Transceivers are sent too early, when they are in "Power off" state. BSC should wait for them to be in "Offline" before attempting it. It can be seen that Software Activate report is sent afterwards. Still, we'd need to check how that behaves when running against nanobts.
  • GPRS-related MO still not using new FSMs. See #4870.

Hi Pau,

I see the trace has 2 TRX, that may be something important to take into consideration when looking at the issue. Do you see the same issues when running with 1 TRX?

just tested - yes, I also see the warnings with a single-trx configuration. Please see the config files attached.

The multiple issues I spotted (not sure if they really provoke the issues you are seeing) should be fixed once https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bsc/+/21451 and previous patches are merged.

Please once they are merged give it another try, if possible with only 1 TRX and provide feedback again.

Hi Pau,

Please once they are merged give it another try, if possible with only 1 TRX and provide feedback again.

unfortunately, this has not been resolved. I still see those warnings, even with only 1 TRX.

You can reproduce them by running ttcn3-bts-test, see for example:

Thanks. It seems the Dependency -> Offline path is triggered before those messages but apparently the FSM doesn't change the state, there's most probably a bug in related code. I'll look into it soon.

I am happy to confirm that the fix works.
