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.

Within the PathSwitchRequest packet,
the E-RABToBeSwitchedDLList has two bearers.
If the E-RAB-ID of both bearers is 5, the MME's list memory is destroyed
and the MME crashes. To fix this issue, we modified the code so that
the MME can work correctly with invalid S1AP messages.
This will be useful for other procedures where only the RAI is known,
but not the specific CI. This is the case of idle mobility from Gb or Iu
to EUTRAN, where MME needs to request contexts based on the RAI mapped
in the GUTI obtained from the UE during TAU.
This also makes the config more resilient in RIM scenario, where an SGSN
can be picked now even if CI doesn't match, instead of failing or faling
back to the default route SGSN.
While they were continuing their fuzzy testing and developing PacketRusher, an unusual issue with the AMF was observed. The problem arises when a single Ethernet frame containing three bundled SCTP chunks is sent. This behavior is reproduced with PacketRusher when attempting to concurrently register two UEs with the same MSIN.
The expected behavior is that the PDU Session Establishment Accept is sent inside a DownlinkNASTransport to RAN UE NGAP ID 1. However, it is actually sent inside an InitialContextSetupRequest to RAN UE NGAP ID 2. The MAC of this NAS message is invalid for the Security Context of RAN UE NGAP ID 2 (probably valid for RAN UE NGAP ID 1)
When the input string contains a number and a unit too large to be
represented by a 64-bit variable, AMF/SMF would crash due to conversion
resulting in a negative value and unable to be used in compiling NAS-PDU
container.
Now the value gets clipped at int64_t maximum value.

[SBI] Fix compiler error - possible uninitialized variable

In case of additional compiler warnings turned on, the compiler warns
about potentially unused variables. Fix those issues.
Both types are defined under lib/proto/type.h, and the conversion
function is used in several different protocols, so let's better move it
to generic lib/proto/conv.h and remove the "gtp2" prefix.
The assert is checking for sess->session->name, but afterwards there's a
check to skip ses->session not being null, which means the assert can
crash while dereferencing sess->session.
I've resolved an issue where sending continuous
'PDU Session Release Request' message to the same session,
when more than two sessions were created, was causing an SMF crash.
For your reference, this problem did not occur
when only one session was created.
In an Inter-RAT setup a UE could perform a RAU coming from a 4G network.
In that case the UE/MS is unknown to the SGSN and it should request the
SGSN context (MM, PDP) from the MME. This is done through the following
GTPv1C message exchange on the Gn interface of SGSN and MME:

added soon as a follow-up patch, similar to this one.

As per TS 29.060:
The Initial/request message is "SGSN Context Request", sent by peer A.
Peer B sends a response message "SGSN Context Response" with same SeqNr.
Peer A sends a response message "SGSN Context Acknowledge" with same
SeqNr.
If Peer B doesn't see a "SGSN Context Acknowlegde", it should keep
retransmitting "SGSN Context Response" as usual.
