Subject: [PATCH v7 6/7] dhcp: Add option overload
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 18:45:59 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001131602.653553-7-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001131602.653553-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

When the options field is full, overflow remaining DHCP options into
the sname and file fields per RFC 2132 option 52.

Per RFC 2132, Section 9.5, the boot file name is always placed in the
'file' header field.  When a boot file is set, the file field is
reserved from overload and overflow uses only the sname field.

v7:
  - Removed overload function parameter
  - Added foreach_opt() macro to iterate option table

Till v6 both "patch 5/7" and "patch 6/7" were one.
