Subject: [PATCH proxmox-perl-rs v5 03/15] pve-rs: sdn: add bindings for the eBPF DHCP responder
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 16:18:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102151842.1605234-4-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102151842.1605234-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
The responder answers with the records the caller hands in. The
caller has to build them under the responder's lock, or a full pass
could write older records over those a plug or record change built
later. So the lock is an object the caller takes before it builds the
records, and every call that hands in records is a method of that
lock.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Laimer <h.laimer@proxmox.com>

Notes:
v5:
* take the MAC with the interface and as an argument of the plug, not
in the record
