Subject: [PATCH v4 16/17] pesto, conf: Send updated rules from pesto back to passt/pasta
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:42:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421044217.2500314-17-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421044217.2500314-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Extend pesto to send the updated rule configuration back to passt/pasta.
Extend passt/pasta to read the new configuration and store the new rules in
a "pending" table. We don't yet attempt to activate them.
Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
Message-ID: <20260322141843.4095972-3-sbrivio@redhat.com>
