Subject: [PATCH v5 2/7] dhcp: Add option state management with enum opt_state
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:26:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717175648.879152-3-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717175648.879152-1-anskuma@redhat.com>
Introduce enum opt_state to track each DHCP option instead
of overloading slen = -1 for "not set".
OPT_UNSET means the option is not configured.
OPT_DEFAULT means the option was set from host configuration.
This replaces all slen = -1 / slen != -1 checks with
state = OPT_UNSET / state != OPT_UNSET, and sets state = OPT_DEFAULT
for options initialised in dhcp_init() and at reply time in dhcp().

v5:
- New patch: introduce enum opt_state { OPT_UNSET, OPT_DEFAULT } to replace slen = -1 for tracking option state
- Replace all slen = -1 / slen != -1 checks with state = OPT_UNSET / state != OPT_UNSET
- Set OPT_DEFAULT for options initialised in dhcp_init() and at reply time
