It allows for much better control on the lifecycle of the session, and
already shows some missing tear down paths in case of errors.
It also clarifies the existence of "sess" pointer in several paths.
The code also becomes clearer overall, since all the transitions and
logic to send next messages are put together.
Tear down of the session will be integrated into gsm-sm in a follow-up
patch.
The 5gc session setup is only partially moved to gsm-sm, and left as an
exercise for users wishin to improve 5gc support.
In the past only GTPv2C was supported, and had the "gtp" generic prefix.
Later on, GTPv1C support was added, and "gtp1" prefix was used.
Let's move GTPv2C specific bits to have "gtp2" prefix too, and leave
"gtp" prefix for generic stuff among different GTP versions.
* [SMF] Gn: Avoid assert crash if no PDP resources available
* [SMF] Gn: Rearrange IE handling order in CreatePDPContextRequest
Let's handle the GTPC remote addr + TEID first, since those should be
used in the CreatePDPContextResponse ideally if available.
Let's then handle parsing of all IEs not related to bearers/UserPlane,
then those missing, and finally do all the IP resource allocation.
* [SMF] typo fixes in commented code
* [SMF] Fix early err return handling UpdatePDPContextRequest
* [SMF] UpdatePDPContext: forward update of remote TEID+IPaddr to UPF
Updating the remote GTP-U IP address and/or TEID on the GGSN is a common
practice, used for instance by an SGSN in a UTRAN network to connect an
HNB(GW) to exchange GTP-U directly with the GGSN. It is also used in
general when doing handovers.
When receiving a UpdatePDPContext with the new address, we need to
forward the update to the UPF so that it takes it into account when
forwarding packets.
This patch only implements updating the information towards the UPF when
GTPv1C is used. Similar approach for GTPv2C (upon receival of Modify
Bearer Request) is still unimplemented.

TS 29.060 sections 7.3.4 and 7.3.6 specify the possible cause values for
UpdatePdpContextResponse and DeletePdpContextResponse.
Together with section 8.2, it becomes clear that 'Non-existent' cause
should be sent instead of 'Context not found' one in those cases.
* [CORE] tlv: Store mode in ogs_tlv_t
This allows specifying the format of the IE for each individual IE,
hence allowing messages containing IEs formatted in different ways.
This is needed in order to support parsing GTPv1-C, since messages
contain IEs with different structure (TLV vs TV). Hence, this is a
preparation patch to add support for parsing TVs in ogs-tlv.c/.h.
* [CORE] tlv: Support parsing msg with both TLV and TV in it
IEs of type TV are sometimes used in GTPv1-C. Current tlv parser/builder
doesn't provide with ways to parse messages which contain TV formatted
IEs. This patch adds the relevant types and ways to encode/decode them.
Furthermore, the current parser/builder allows parsing/building messages
containing the exact same format in all its IEs. A new parser function
is added which allows parsing messages of different types (TV, TLV)
mixed in the same message. In order to be able to do so, it uses the
general msg_mode passed to it in order to know the general TLV format
(in essence, the length of the Tag field, and also the length of the
Length field if applicable each IE).
Looking up the instance in the TLV description is left undone and
hadcoded to 0, since the only user so far requiring this API is GTPv1-C,
which has no instances.
* [CORE] tlv: Support repeated tag+instance parsing TLV message
In GTPv2C, repeated IEs (same tag) are easily differentiated by the
Instance byte, which provides info to match different decoded
structures. In GTPv1C though, there's no Instance byte, and we still
encounter repeated IEs (like GSN Address in Create PDP Context Request).
Hence, the TLV decoder needs to be updated to track count of IEs found
(identified by tag+instance, where instance is always 0 in GTPv1C) and
get the proper description index + offset into the decoded structure.
* [GTP]: Move GTPv2-C specifics to its own libgtp subdir
This will allow adding GTPv1-C code by the side. Most GTPv2 code is left
in this patch as "gtp" instead of renaming it to "gtp2" in order to
avoid massive changes. It can be done at a later stage if wanted.
* [GTP] Support generating GTPv1-C messages
* [SMF] Add Gn interface support
This patch introduces GTPv1C support to open5gs-smfd. With it,
open5gs-becomes a GGSN too, where SGSN can connect to, hence supporting
GERAN and UTRAN networks.
