Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] dhcp: Add option type table and value parser
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 18:01:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526123115.1226166-4-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260526123115.1226166-1-anskuma@redhat.com>
Add an RFC 2132 type lookup table mapping DHCP option codes to their
expected value formats, and a dhcp_opt_parse() function that converts
CLI string values into their binary wire representation.
Wire dhcp_opt_parse() into the --dhcp-opt handler so that values are
validated and encoded at configuration time.

v2:
- Replaced struct lookup table + dhcp_opt_type_lookup() function with flat dhcp_opt_types[256] array indexed by code.
- Consolidated DHCP_OPT_UINT8/UINT16/UINT32 into single DHCP_OPT_INTEGER with dhcp_opt_int_width[256] table.
- Dropped DHCP_OPT_ROUTES / option 121 entirely.
- Added kerneldoc for enum dhcp_opt_type values.
- Removed curly braces from switch cases, declarations before switch.
- Added newlines before return statements.
- Changed IP list delimiter from space to comma (--dhcp-opt 6,1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8).
- Defined DHCP_OPT_PARSE_BUF constant for bare 1024.
- Added len and val[255] fields to struct here (moved from patch 1).
- Added kerneldoc for @custom_opts.len and @custom_opts.val.
- Wired dhcp_opt_parse() into case 32 (--dhcp-boot) to populate val/len.
