Subject: [PATCH v3 07/11] conf: Allow multiple -a/--address options per address family
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:44:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130214447.2540791-8-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260130214447.2540791-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>

We enable configuration of multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by allowing
repeated use of the -a/--address option.

- We update option parsing to append addresses to the unified addrs[]
  array, with limit checks for IP4_MAX_ADDRS and IP6_MAX_ADDRS.
- Each address specified via -a, but with no prefix length indicated,
  gets a class-based default prefix length.
- If no -a option is given, addresses/prefix lengths are inherited from
  the template interface.
- If a prefix length is to be added, it has to be done in CIDR format,
  except for the very first address.
- We configure all indicated addresses in the namespace interface using
  the for_each_addr() macro.

Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>

v2: - Adapted to previous code changes
v3: - Adapted to single-array strategy
    - Changes according to feedback from S. Brivio and G Gibson.
