Subject: [PATCH 5/5] conf, fwd: Record "auto" port forwards in forwarding table
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:10:38 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251212071038.3943933-6-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251212071038.3943933-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Currently the forwarding table records details of explicit port forwards,
but nothing for -[tTuU] auto. That looks a little odd on the debug output,
and will be a problem for future changes.
Extend the forward table to have entries for auto-scanned forwards, using
a new FWD_SCAN flag. For now the mechanism of auto port forwarding isn't
updated, and we can only create a single FWD_SCAN entry per protocol and
direction. We'll better integrate auto scanning with other forward table
mechanics in future.
