Subject: [PATCH 2/6] isolation, conf: Set c->fd_tap from eary parse of --fd
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:29:22 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714092926.2881848-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714092926.2881848-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
We parse --fd twice: once in isolate_initial() just to avoid clobbering
the passed in fd. Then we parse it "for real" in conf(), to set c->fd_tap
and other configuration variables.
Change this, so that we return the value parsed early from
isolate_initial() and set c->fd_tap from that. This doesn't accomplish
much immediately, but will make some further cleanups possible.
