Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] util, flow, pif: Simplify sock_l4_sa() interface
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:26:22 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029062628.1647051-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029062628.1647051-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
sock_l4_sa() has a somewhat confusing 'v6only' option controlling whether
to set the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. Usually it's set when the given
address is IPv6, but not when we want to create a dual stack listening
socket. The latter only makes sense when the address is :: however.
Clarify this by only keeping the v6only option in an internal helper
sock_l4_(). External users will call either sock_l4() which always creates
a socket bound to a specific IP version, or sock_l4_dualstack() which
creates a dual stack socket, but takes only a port not an address.
We drop the '_sa' suffix while we're at it - it exists because this used
to be an internal version with a sock_l4() wrapper. The wrapper no longer
exists so the '_sa' is no longer useful.
