Subject: [PATCH v5 6/7] dhcp: Add RFC 3396 option splitting for concatenation-requiring options
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:26:43 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717175648.879152-7-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717175648.879152-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

Implement option splitting per RFC 3396 for options that may exceed
255 bytes.  A new DHCP_OPT_STR_CONCAT type marks concatenation-
requiring options (currently option 81, Client FQDN per RFC 4702).

The opts[].s buffer is resized from 255 to 496 bytes to hold the
maximum data that can be split across the options field, file field,
and sname field.

When a concatenation-requiring option does not fit as a single option
in any field, fill() splits it across fields in RFC 3396 order:
options field first, then file, then sname.

v5:
  - New patch: implement option splitting per RFC 3396 for options exceeding 255 bytes
  - Add DHCP_OPT_STR_CONCAT type, is_concat_opt(), fill_split() helpers
  - Resize opts[].s from 255 to OPT_CONCAT_MAX (496) bytes
  - Add /* fallthrough */ between DHCP_OPT_STR and DHCP_OPT_STR_CONCAT case
