Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fwd, pif: Replace with pif_sock_l4() with pif_listen()
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2026 15:31:34 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302043135.800803-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302043135.800803-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

It turns out all users of pif_sock_l4() use it for "listening" sockets,
which now all have a common epoll reference format.  We can take advantage
of that to pass the necessary epoll information into pif_sock_l4() in a
more natural way, rather than as an opaque u32.

That in turn allows union fwd_listen_ref can become a struct, since the
union only exist to allow the meaningful fields to be coerced into a u32
for pif_sock_l4().

Rename pif_sock_l4() to pif_listen() to reflect the new semantics.  While
we're there, remove the static_assert() on the fwd_listen_ref's size.  We
do still need it to fit into 32 bits, but that constraint is imposed only
by the fact that it needs to fit into the whole, epoll_ref structure,
which we already check with a static_assert() in epoll_ctl.h.
