== Known limitation ==
Placing npcf-smpolicycontrol and pcf-policyauthorization
in different NFs is not supported. Both npcf-smpolicycontrol
and pcf-policyauthorization should be placed in the same NF.
- Gy instead of Gx AVP was used.
- Use correct avp position and avp variables.
Fixes: 657eef9169 ("[SMF] send 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics on Gx if received on S5/8c")
The 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics is an operator specific AVP
(optional). The 3GPP-Charging-Characteristics can be filled by the HSS
and forwarded by the MME towards the SMF.
In case that SMF was configured to run without Diameter, it would crash
on application exit due to uninitialized variables/pointers.

As per 3GPP TS 29.274 version 10.5.0, section 7.2.9 and 7.2.10,
Only if PCO IE is included in Delete Session Request then it

In case there are multiple AMF registered to NRF, SMF would pick only
the first AMF from the list.
In the case of sending PDU Session Establishment Accept from SMF to
AMF, this would mean a high chance of failure since the AMF might
be different than the original requester, and would not know about a
particular UE.
Modify SMF to use ServingNfId field from original request
SmContextCreateData from AMF to determine to which AMF should it send
PDU Session Establishment Accept message.
3GPP TS 29.244 7.2.2.4.2 documents that the peer will set SEID=0 in the
response when we request something for a session not existing at the peer.
If that's the case, we still want to locate the local session which
originated the request, so let's store the local SEID in the xact when
submitting the message, so that we can retrieve the related SEID and
find the session if we receive SEID=0.
It was spotted that if DeleteSessionReq sent by SMF is answered by UPF
with cause="Session context not found", then it contains SEID=0 (this is
correct as per specs). Hence, since SEID=0 session is not looked up, so
sess=NULL.
A follow up commit improves the situation by looking up the SEID in the
originating request message in that case.
* [SMF] Avoid abort() if gtp_node mempool becomes full
Related: https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/issues/1621
* [SMF] metrics: Add new ctr tracking gtp_node allocation failures
This metrics is useful to track whether at some point the mempool went
full, so that config needs to be updated to increase the mempool size.
Gy (3GPP TS 32.299 ) refers to AVP in DCCA (RFC4006).
RFC4006 5.1.2:
"[...] by including the Multiple-Services-Indicator AVP in the first
interrogation."
Nokia's infocenter documentation also states it's sent during Initial CCR
only: "(CCR-I only)".
smf_gtp_node_pool were properly freed.
However, the seqence was wrong, so we got a warning message.
To solve this problem, I've moved smf_gtp_node_alloc/free
from gtp_path.[ch] to context.[ch]
* Initial metrics support based on Prometheus
This commit introduces initial support for metrics in open5gs.
The metrics code is added as libogsmetrics (lib/metrics/), with a well
defined opaque API to manage different types of metrics, allowing for
different implementations for different technologies to scrap the
metrics (placed as lib/metrics/<impl>/. The implementation is right now
selected at build time, in order to be able to opt-out the related dependencies
for users not interested in the features. 2 implementations are already
provided in this commit to start with:
* void: Default implementation. Empty stubs, acts as a NOOP.
* prometheus: open5gs processes become Prometheus servers, offering
states through an http server to the Prometheus scrappers. Relies on
libprom (prometheus-client-ci [1] project) to track the metrics and format
them during export, and libmicrohttpd to make the export possible through
HTTP.
[1] https://github.com/digitalocean/prometheus-client-c
The prometheus-client-c is not well maintained nowadays in upstream, and
furthermore it uses a quite peculiar mixture of build systems (autolib
on the main dir, cmake for libprom in a subdir). This makes it difficult
to have it widely available in distros, and difficult to find it if it
is installed in the system. Hence, the best is to include it as a
meson subproject like we already do for freeDiameter. An open5gs fork is
requried in order to have an extra patch adding a top-level
CMakeList.txt in order to be able to includ eit from open5gs's meson
build. Furthermore, this allows adding bugfixes to the subproject if any
are found in the future.

* [SMF] Avoid crash if Delete{Sesson,PdpContext}Resp fails to be sent
Let's simply continuing with release of the session, there's not much we
can do about it. Peer will eventually realize the conn is no longer
there.
According to the following standards the response to the endpoint
/nudm-sdm/${supi}/sm-data should be an array of
SessionManagementSubscriptionData objects, instead of only one object.
TS 29.503 version 16.6.0
TS 29.505 version 16.4.0
UDR now responds to the request with only item in the array.
UDM copies all items as is.
SMF uses only the first item in the array, even if there are more
present.
