Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11] Introduce multiple addresses
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:44:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130214447.2540791-1-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
This version contains what I perceive as the least controversial
parts of my previous RFC series. It basically makes address
handling behave like before, but now allowing multiple addresses
both at the host side and the guest side.
v2:
- Added the earlier standalone CIDR commit to the head of the series.
- Replaced the guest namespace interface subscriptions with just
an address observation feature, so that it works with both PASTA
and PASST.
- Unified 'no_copy_addrs' and 'copy_addrs' code paths, as suggested
by David G.
- Multiple other changes, also based on feedback from David.
- Removed the host interface subscription patches, -for now.
I intend to re-add them once this series is applied.
- Outstanding question: When do we add an IPv4 link local address
to the guest? Only in local/opaque mode? Only when
explicitly requested? Always?
v3:
- Unified the IPv4 and IPv6 arrays into one array
- Changed prefix_len to always eb in IPv6/IpV4 mapped format
- Updated migration protocol to v3, handling multiple addresses
- Many other smaller changes, based on feedback from the PASST team
Jon Maloy (11):
conf: Support CIDR notation for -a/--address option
ip: Add IN4_MASK() macro for IPv4 netmask calculation
ip: Introduce unified multi-address data structures
fwd: Check all configured addresses in guest accessibility functions
arp: Check all configured addresses in ARP filtering
pasta: Extract pasta_ns_conf_ip4/6() to reduce nesting
conf: Allow multiple -a/--address options per address family
migrate: Rename v1 address functions to v2 for clarity
ip: Track observed guest IPv4 addresses in unified address array
ip: Track observed guest IPv6 addresses in unified address array
conf: Select addresses for DHCP and NDP distribution
