Subject: [RFC 02/12] ip: Add ip4_default_prefix_len() helper function for class-based prefix
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:54:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215015441.887736-3-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215015441.887736-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
We add a helper function to calculate the default IPv4 prefix length
based on address class. This is used to replace the current inline
calculation in conf_ip4(), and is also a preparation for more uses
of this functionality in the coming commits.
