A lot of times you might end up having 30+ hours of rest, but if you didn't know in advance, then it doesn't count as far as 117 is concerned.
Long call itself is by FAA view a long continuous period of non-rest. When given an assignment you are then released into rest prior to the assignment. I believe you are aware of this, it's just calling it rest can be confusing to some.
