Subject: [PATCH v2 02/23] conf: Simplify handling of default forwarding mode
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:02:48 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410010309.736855-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410010309.736855-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

For passt, the default forwarding mode is "none", which falls out naturally
from the other handling: if we don't get any options, we get empty
forwarding tables, which corresponds to "none" behaviour.  However, for
pasta the default is "auto".  This is handled a bit oddly: in conf_ports()
we set the mode variable, but don't set up the rules we need for "auto"
mode.  Instead we want until nearly the end of conf() and if the mode is
FWD_MODE_AUTO or unset, we make conf_ports_range_except() calls to set up
the "auto" rules.

Simplify this a bit, by creating the rules within conf_ports() itself when
we parse -[tuTU] auto.  For the case of no forwarding options we call
into conf_ports() itself with synthetic arguments.  As well as making the
code a little shorter, this makes it more obvious that giving no arguments
really is equivalent to -[tuTU] auto.
