Subject: [PATCH v5 08/13] ip: Track observed guest IPv6 addresses in unified address array
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:44:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260222174445.743845-9-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260222174445.743845-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>

We remove the addr_seen and addr_ll_seen fields in struct ip6_ctx
and replace them by setting CONF_ADDR_OBSERVED and CONF_ADDR_LINKLOCAL
flags in the corresponding entry in the unified address array.

The observed IPv6 address is always added/moved to position 0
in the array, improving chances for fast lookup.

This completes the unification of address storage for both IPv4 and
IPv6, enabling future support for multiple guest addresses per family.

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

---
v5: - Made to use same algorithm and function as IPv4 for inserting
      observed into the array.
