When there is no MME-UE Context, going to cleanup without setting
s6a_message could cause a segmentation fault.
We fixed the problem by moving the location of setting s6a_message
to before cleanup.
Problems with Purge-UE-Request/Answer can occur in the following situations
1. Attach Request
2. Authentication request
3. Authentication reject
4. UEContextReleaseCommand
5. UEContextReleaseComplete
6. Purge-UE-Request
7. Attach Request
8. Purge-UE-Answer
9. (UE Context Remove)
To resolve this issue, we have changed to delete the UE-Context
via mme_ue_remove() immediately upon receiving UEContextReleaseComplete()
without calling mme_s6a_send_pur().
Because a race condition can occur between S6A Diameter and S1AP message,
the following error handling code has been added.
1. InitialUEMessage + Attach Request + PDN Connectivity request
2. Authentication-Information-Request/Authentication-Information-Answer
3. Authentication Request/Response
4. Security-mode command/complete
5. Update-Location-Request/Update-Location-Answer
6. Detach request/accept
In the ULR/ULA process in step 6, the PDN Connectivity request is
pushed to the queue as an ESM_MESSAGE because the NAS-Type is still
an Attach Request.
See the code below in 'mme-s6a-handler.c' for where the queue is pushed.
if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_ATTACH_REQUEST) {
rv = nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm(mme_ue,
&mme_ue->pdn_connectivity_request);
if (rv != OGS_OK) {
ogs_error("nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm() failed");
return OGS_NAS_EMM_CAUSE_PROTOCOL_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
} else if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_TAU_REQUEST) {
r = nas_eps_send_tau_accept(mme_ue,
S1AP_ProcedureCode_id_InitialContextSetup);
ogs_expect(r == OGS_OK);
ogs_assert(r != OGS_ERROR);
} else {
ogs_error("Invalid Type[%d]", mme_ue->nas_eps.type);
return OGS_NAS_EMM_CAUSE_PROTOCOL_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
If you perform step 7 Detach request/accept here,
the NAS-Type becomes Detach Request and the EMM state changes
to emm_state_de_registered().
Since the PDN, which is an ESM message that was previously queued,
should not be processed in de_registered, the message is ignored
through error handling below.
Otherwise, MME will crash because there is no active bearer
in the initial_context_setup_request build process.
See the code below in 's1ap-build.c' for where the crash occurs.
ogs_list_for_each(&mme_ue->sess_list, sess) {
ogs_list_for_each(&sess->bearer_list, bearer) {
...
if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_ATTACH_REQUEST) {
} else if (OGS_FSM_CHECK(&bearer->sm, esm_state_inactive)) {
ogs_warn("No active EPS bearer [%d]", bearer->ebi);
ogs_warn(" IMSI[%s] NAS-EPS Type[%d] "
"ENB_UE_S1AP_ID[%d] MME_UE_S1AP_ID[%d]",
mme_ue->imsi_bcd, mme_ue->nas_eps.type,
enb_ue->enb_ue_s1ap_id, enb_ue->mme_ue_s1ap_id);
continue;
}
...
}
}
A race condition can occur in the following situations.
In conclusion, we can use this situation to determine
whether or not the UE Context has been removed and avoiding a crash.
For example, suppose a UE Context is removed in the followings.
1. Attach Request
2. Authentication-Information-Request
3. Authentication-Information-Answer
4. Authentication Request
5. Authentication Response(MAC Failed)
6. Authentication Reject
7. UEContextReleaseCommand
8. UEContextReleaseComplete
The MME then sends a Purge-UE-request to the HSS and deletes
the UE context as soon as it receives a Purge-UE-Answer.
Suppose an Attach Request is received from the same UE
between Purge-UE-Request/Answer, then the MME and HSS start
the Authentication-Information-Request/Answer process.
This can lead to the following situations.
1. Purge-UE-Request
2. Attach Request
3. Authentication-Information-Request
4. Purge-UE-Answer
5. [UE Context Removed]
6. Authentication-Information-Answer
Since the UE Context has already been deleted
when the Authentication-Information-Answer is received,
it cannot be processed properly.
Therefore, mme_ue_cycle() is used to check
whether the UE Context has been deleted and
decide whether to process or
ignore the Authentication-Information-Answer as shown below.
In an Inter-RAT setup a UE could perform a TAU coming from a 2G/3G network.
In that case the UE/MS is unknown to the MME and it should request the
SGSN context (MM, PDP) from the old SGSN. This is done through the following
GTPv1C message exchange on the Gn interface of SGSN and MME:
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Request
SGSN -> MME: SGSN Context Response
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Acknowledge
Diagram with full set of steps can be found at 3GPP TS 23.401 D.3.6.
This commit doesn't aim to be a complete implementation of the mentioned
procedure, since it's quite a complex one, with lots of fields and logic
required. This so far only implements in general the minimally
successful case by filling as much as possible the required set of
fields.
This will allow for a base onto which do incremental improvements and
fixes while testing against UEs and SGSNs (such as osmo-sgsn, which
doesn't yet support this procedure but will potentially earn it soon).
The reverse direction, aka UE issuing cell reselection 4G->2G was
already implemented (same as here, initial non-complete implementation)
in open5gs-mmed in commit 3d693da73e.

* [AMF/MME] UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity (#2786)
Modified not to send UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity Unprotected
NAS message such like Registration or Service request.
* [AMF/MME] UEContextReleaseCommand after Interity Protected (#2786)
Modified not to send UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity Unprotected
NAS message such like Registration or Service request.
* Cancel Location while Idle Fix
* Forgot about SGSAP on MME Change.
Added "action" to sgsap_send_detach..
* Make handle_clr uniform with other handlers
* Added Robustness for Any Detach Type
* Memory wasn't freed upon CLR for unknown IMSIs
* Moving MME Detach to new PR
* [MME] Support for Insert Subscriber Data
* Supported AVPs in IDR will overwrite existing subscription information
* Provide error on partial APN updates
* IDR and ULA use same function to process AVPs
* Move subdatamask values into s6a, so both HSS and MME can use them
* Updates are not actioned at this time. A Re-attach is required for
most changes to take effect
* Memory issue on IDR exceptions
* Remove of handling MSIDSN change until DSR is used
* Add Diameter Dictionary Elements
* Initial IDR Framework
* Resolve Compile Issues
* Moving Closer
* Compile error
* Somewhat Working stuffing Code
* Add Timestamp Changes
* Cleanup some of this code. mme_s6a_handle_idr in s6a-handler.c removed for now, since it will only come in handy when IDR flag is set to request current location, which would involve breaking out into paging. I think there's a few other things we can do just within fd-path first.
* further removal of mme_s6a_handle_idr
* CLR while idle is broken after 7031856cd7
Cancel Location Request arriving while UE is idle will not proceed to paging due to this check for S1 connection. Using new flag "isAnswer" to bypass this check to allow paging to occur when we are not doing a AIA/ULA related procedure.
* No Context Setup is required when sending the detach request. If the paging was due to wanting to send a Detach Request to the UE, then we fast track to sending the detach request.
* emm-sm.c:
In the case of MME initiated detach while UE is idle, there is no initial conext setup. We go right from the service request after paging into sending the detach request. TS23.401
mme-path.c:
Using nas_eps.type in the case of MME Initiated Detach while UE is idle does not work. nas_eps.type would represent the service request.
mme-s11-handler.c:
After S11 action, no action should be taken. We want to wait for the detach accept from the UE before proceeding with the S1 release (detach).
* InitialContextSetup should occur for detach.
- Added diameter dictionary definitions for Cancel Location
- Cancel Location will completely remove UE from MME, allow for a fresh IMSI attach to occur on next attempt.
- T3422 is used for detach request.
- Added new handling for s6a events in mme-sm, as not all s6a messages are at attach now. Maybe there's something in a state machine I should've been using here instead of a new flag?
- Testing was completed with UE in idle and connected. With CLR flags indicating re-attach required and without. Also sending CLR after UE detach. And then sending again when mme_ue is empty.
When a UE that requests slices tries to connect and there are no slices configured, the reject message is:
5GMM cause = 0x7 (5GS Services not allowed)
however it should be:
5GMM cause = 0x3e (No network slices available)
All 5GMM cause value in reject message is reviewed in this commit
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.
All process will be forcely exited if it failed to encode the S1AP/NGAP/GTP/PFCP message. It is to make sure there was no problem with the encoding of open5gs.
