Subject: [PATCH 2/3] conf: Use 0 instead of -1 as "unassigned" mtu value
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 14:14:28 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250219031429.3708026-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250219031429.3708026-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
On the command line -m 0 means "don't assign an MTU" (letting the guest use
its default. However, internally we use (c->mtu == -1) to represent that
state. We use (c->mtu == 0) to represent "the user didn't specify on the
command line, so use the default" - but this is only used during conf(),
never afterwards.
This is unnecessarily confusing. We can instead just initialise c->mtu to
its default (65520) before parsing options and use 0 on both the command
line and internally to represent the "don't assign" special case. This
ensures that c->mtu is always 0..65535, so we can store it in a uint16_t
which is more natural.
