Subject: [PATCH 10/18] fwd, conf: Expose ephemeral ports as bitmap rather than function
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:34:22 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327043430.1785787-11-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327043430.1785787-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
It turns out the only callers of fwd_port_is_ephemeral() use it to build a
bitmap of ephemeral ports. So, replace it with fwd_port_map_ephemeral(),
which directly builds that bitmap. As a bonus this allows a slightly
cheaper implementation of building the map, since inside fwd.c we know that
the ephemeral ports form a single range.
