Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] dhcpv6: Inject custom options into DHCPv6 replies
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 23:43:02 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029181303.714616-3-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029181303.714616-1-anskuma@redhat.com>
Append user-specified options from --dhcpv6-opt to DHCPv6 reply
messages. Options that exceed available buffer space are skipped
with a rate-limited warning.
Link: https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=192
Signed-off-by: Anshu Kumari <anskuma@redhat.com>
---
v5:
- Replaced warn() with warn_ratelimit(now, ...)
v4:
- warn() instead of debug() when options don't fit in the reply.
- doc comment for dhcpv6_user_opts_fill() updated.
v3:
- rename dhcpv6_custom_opts_fill() to dhcpv6_user_opts_fill().
- Iterate directly over the pre-parsed binary dhcpv6_user_opts[]
array instead of re-parsing string values at reply time.
v2:
- Updated dhcpv6_custom_opts_fill() to parse str at reply time
using dhcpv6_opt_parse() instead of copying cached val/len.
