Hello,
Please find the draft of the GPRS provisioning plugin ("Internet Access Provider
database" TODO item).
The plugin reads mobile provider settings database entries (PROVIDER_DATABASE) and returns
GRPS context settings to oFono provisioning module.
If there are multiple matches found in the database, then some user intervention might be
required or database format should be extended, please comment.
Regards,
Oleg

since this is mobile-broadband-provider-info specific, we better call
this plugin mobile-broadband-provider-info.c. Even if that is a horrible
long name ;)
And of course you need to get the autoconf/automake magic included as
well.

What I wonder is what is the overhead of the XML parser right now (e.g.
how long it takes on reasonable embedded hardware). If this takes a
while, then it might be better to pre-parse the mobile-provider-info db
during plugin initialization and not every time gprs_provision is
called. Otherwise we run the risk of hanging the daemon while the
provision settings are being looked up.

Provisioning should be a fairly rare occurence. Preparsing the table into
memory might be a waste of both CPU and memory in the common circumstances...
I do agree here, but it is the lesser evil than hanging the daemon for x
seconds. However, first I'd like to know what the parsing speed is...
If you suspect the parser is slow (I doubt it, but I have not
checked), then
it might be better to just do it in a separate thread in the rare cases that
you actually do need the data.
Separate thread will not help since the function has to return
synchronously. I doubt the overhead of storing this information will be
big, but if it is then we can play other tricks like pre-parsing the db
into a quick-look-up file format at start-up, etc.

Thanks for the input. Yes, this might be the problem. I could try to
test with N900 in order to get the idea of how long the parsing can
take. Pre-parsing might be a good idea anyway, I will try to check how
feasible it is.

What I wonder is what is the overhead of the XML parser right now (e.g.
how long it takes on reasonable embedded hardware). If this takes a
while, then it might be better to pre-parse the mobile-provider-info db
during plugin initialization and not every time gprs_provision is
called. Otherwise we run the risk of hanging the daemon while the
provision settings are being looked up.
Provisioning should be a fairly rare occurence. Preparsing the table into
memory might be a waste of both CPU and memory in the common circumstances...
If you suspect the parser is slow (I doubt it, but I have not checked), then
it might be better to just do it in a separate thread in the rare cases that
you actually do need the data.

Now I question if we should bother with multiple settings anyway. In
the
end we have 1 Internet context and 1 MMS context coming from this type
of database.
That's a good point. So, let's stick to max 2 settings for now. If there will be
need in more than 2 settings, let's come back to this then.
Thanks for the comments. I will prepare and submit another patch.

I have tested on N900 (MeeGo 1.2 Community Edition on microSDHC class 4 card),
it takes 0.1 second to load and parse the mobile-provider-info database (154KB).
Is this a reasonable time or should we go with pre-parsing?

Oleg

My rule of thumb is less than 300 ms is not really noticeable to the
user and anything up to 1 second is OK. So in this case I'd say we
should be fine parsing on demand.
If we ever encounter performance problems we can revisit this decision.
