Description

In some cases the UPF sends a "Create PDP context response" with a cause other than "Request accepted"

3GPP TS29.060 Ch. 7.3.2 states:

The Cause value indicates if a PDP context has been created in the GGSN or not. A PDP context has not been created in
the GGSN if the Cause differs from "Request accepted", "New PDP type due to network preference" or "New PDP type
due to single address bearer only".

The SGSN only checks for cause "Request accepted", so it assumes the upf rejected the PDP context.

UPF:

11/21 15:20:16.509: [upf] INFO: UE F-SEID[UP:0xd18 CP:0x3bf] APN[internet] PDN-Type[1] IPv4[10.45.0.2] IPv6[] (../src/upf/context.c:483)

SGSN:

Maybe of note: The Fairphone3 I'm using to test this has the APN protocol and APN roaming protocol set as IPv4, still wireshark shows it's requesting IPv4/6:

Packet Data Protocol Address - Requested PDP address
    Length: 2
    0000 .... = Spare bit(s): 0
    .... 0001 = PDP type organization: IETF allocated address (1)
    PDP type number: IPv4v6 address (141)
    Dynamic addressing

After fixing the logic in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-sgsn/+/35094 I can now see an "Activate PDP Context Accept" as a result from the Create PDP context response.
There's still an issue, right now the phone sends a "Deactivate PDP Context Request". The SGSN doesn't touch the PDP address field in this code path (probably because the type doesn't match the one in the request).

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ggsn/+/35125 should be the last fix needed. With this the FP3 can now get internet connectivity on my nitb setup using open5gs-smf/upf.
