Subject: [PATCH 3/4] fwd, pif: Remove duplicated logic between tcp_listen() and udp_listen()
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 16:30:04 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609063005.113744-4-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609063005.113744-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
tcp_listen() and udp_listen() have only some simple logic around a call to
pif_listen(), and it's basically identical in each case. If we move the
common logic into pif_listen() we can then remove {tcp,udp}_listen()
entirely, with their caller in fwd_sync_one() calling pif_listen()
directly.
We also move the logic converting from a protocol id to an epoll type from
fwd_sync_one() into pif_listen(). It's a bit arbitrary, but seems slightly
nicer that way.
