[PATCH 0/3] [PATCH 0/3] dhcpv6: Add --dhcpv6-opt for custom DHCPv6 options

[Anshu Kumari]

This series adds a --dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE command-line option to
inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies, complementing the existing
--dhcp-opt support for DHCPv4.

The primary use case is UEFI HTTP Boot, which requires Vendor Class
(option 16) with the correct enterprise-number + length-prefixed wire
encoding per RFC 8415 Section 21.16, and Boot File URL (option 59).

Value formats are determined automatically from the option code via a
type table. Supported types include plain strings, IPv6
addresses (single and list), 8/16/32-bit integers, vendor class
(ENTERPRISE:DATA), and length-prefixed string lists.

Patch 1 adds the CLI flag, storage, and basic man page entry.
Patch 2 adds the type table and binary parser for all supported types.
Patch 3 injects the parsed options into DHCPv6 reply packets.

[PATCH 1/3] conf: Add --dhcpv6-opt command-line option

[Anshu Kumari]

Add a --dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE option for injecting custom DHCPv6
options into server replies. This patch adds the CLI parsing in conf.c,
storage in struct ctx, and a simple dhcpv6_add_option() that stores the
option code and raw string value.

[PATCH 2/3] dhcpv6: Add option type table and value parser

[Anshu Kumari]

Add a type table mapping DHCPv6 option codes to value types,
and a parser that encodes CLI strings into the correct binary wire
format for each type.

Supported types: plain string, IPv6 address, IPv6 address list,
8/16/32-bit integers, vendor class (enterprise number + length-prefixed
data, per RFC 8415 Section 21.16), status code (uint16 + message),
and length-prefixed string lists.

Modify dhcpv6_add_option() to call the parser for validation and binary
encoding at configuration time, storing both the raw string and the
encoded value.

[PATCH 3/3] dhcpv6: Inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies

[Anshu Kumari]

Add dhcpv6_custom_opts_fill() which appends user-specified custom
options to DHCPv6 response packets, and call it from the main dhcpv6()
handler after the built-in DNS and FQDN options.

Each custom option is written with its DHCPv6 option header (code +
length) followed by the binary-encoded value from dhcpv6_opt_parse().
Options that would exceed the IPv6 minimum MTU are skipped with a
debug message.

Re: [PATCH 0/3] [PATCH 0/3] dhcpv6: Add --dhcpv6-opt for custom DHCPv6 options

[Anshu Kumari]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1652 bytes --]

Following the current changes, future work will involve adding support for
options 138 and 139. I have not included these in this patch series because
the parsing for both requires significant code changes, which I believe
would be too much to review at once.

Regards,
Anshu
