Subject: [PATCH v8 5/6] dhcp: Add option overload
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 16:26:57 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026105659.1585444-6-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026105659.1585444-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

Change fill_one() to return void because now we use a single loop
to report all unsent options.

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.

v8:
  - commit message rewritten - explain about why fill_one() now 
    returns void.
  - foreach_unsent_opt() macro added.
