Subject: [PATCH v7 2/7] dhcp: Add option configuration tracking with enum opt_conf
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 18:45:55 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001131602.653553-3-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001131602.653553-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

Overloading slen = -1 to mean "not set" conflates the option
length with its lifecycle state, and can't express additional
states such as "set by the user via command-line" which will
be needed for --dhcp-opt support.

Introduce enum opt_conf with OPT_UNSET (option not
configured) and OPT_DEFAULT (derived from host
configuration).  Replace all slen = -1 / slen != -1 checks
with conf comparisons, and set conf = OPT_DEFAULT for
options initialised in dhcp_init() and at reply time in
dhcp().

v7:
  - Renamed enum opt_state → enum opt_conf and field state → conf.
  - Removed trailing comma after OPT_DEFAULT in designated initializer.

v6:
  - Rewrote commit message to explain why slen = -1 overloading
    is problematic and how it motivates the enum.
  - Dropped explicit OPT_UNSET initialization loop inside dhcp_init().
  - Realigned opts[51] initializer for consistency.

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
