Subject: [PATCH 3/3] netpoll: Extract IPv6 address retrieval function
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 02:32:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618-netpoll_ip_ref-v1-3-c2ac00fe558f@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250618-netpoll_ip_ref-v1-0-c2ac00fe558f@debian.org>
Extract the IPv6 address retrieval logic from netpoll_setup() into
a dedicated helper function netpoll_take_ipv6() to improve code
organization and readability.
The function handles obtaining the local IPv6 address from the
network device, including proper address type matching between
local and remote addresses (link-local vs global), and includes
appropriate error handling when IPv6 is not supported or no
suitable address is available.
