Subject: [PATCH 3/5] tcp, flow: Replace per-connection in_epoll flag with epollfd in flow_common
Date: Fri,  3 Oct 2025 17:27:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251003152717.2437765-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251003152717.2437765-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

The in_epoll boolean flag in tcp_tap_conn and tcp_splice_conn only tracked
whether a connection was registered with epoll, not which epoll instance.
This limited flexibility for future multi-epoll support.

Replace the boolean with an epollfd field in flow_common that serves dual
purpose: zero indicates not registered (replacing in_epoll=false), non-zero
stores the actual epoll fd (replacing in_epoll=true).

This change also simplifies tcp_timer_ctl() by removing the need to pass
the context 'c', since the epoll fd is now directly accessible from the
connection structure.
