Subject: [PATCH 3/7] passt: Integrate main event loop with threading infrastructure
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:46:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731164628.3556997-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731164628.3556997-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

Convert the main event loop to use the threading subsystem. The main
process now registers passt_worker() as thread #0 and starts it through
the threading infrastructure instead of running a manual epoll_wait loop.
