Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] dhcp: Refactor fill_one() to operate on a generic buffer
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:52:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617132243.1499556-2-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260617132243.1499556-1-anskuma@redhat.com>
Change fill_one() to accept a buffer pointer and capacity instead of
a struct msg pointer. This is a pure refactor with no behavior change,
preparing for option overload support where fill_one() will also write
into the file and sname fields.

v4:
- Unchanged from v3.
v3:
- Restored removed comments: "If we don't have space to write the
option, then just skip" and "Move to option".
v2:
- Renamed parameter cap → size.
