Looks good, thanks, howerver we should get rid of those now deprecated functions usage within the codebase.
One of the users is recently added DHCPv4 server:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/subsys/net/lib/dhcpv4/dhcpv4_server.c#L1234
but in this particular case it should be straightforward fix, just take the netmask for the selected server_addr .

The netmask should be tied to the IPv4 address instead of being global for the network interface. If there is only one IPv4 address specified to the network interface, nothing changes from user point of view. But if there are more than one IPv4 address / network interface, the netmask must be specified to each address separately. This means that net_if_ipv4_get_netmask() and net_if_ipv4_set_netmask() functions should not be used as they only work reliably if there is only one IPv4 address in the network interface. The new net_if_ipv4_get_netmask_by_addr() and net_if_ipv4_set_netmask_by_addr() functions should be used as they make sure that the netmask is tied to correct IPv4 address in the network interface.

Make sure that the tests work properly when each IPv4 address in the network interface gets its own netmask. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <[email protected]>
This commit deprecates these legacy netmask get/set routines net_if_ipv4_set_netmask() net_if_ipv4_set_netmask_by_index() net_if_ipv4_get_netmask() as they do not work well if there are multiple IPv4 address assigned to the network interface. User should use these functions instead net_if_ipv4_set_netmask_by_addr() net_if_ipv4_set_netmask_by_addr_by_index() net_if_ipv4_get_netmask_by_addr() as they make sure the netmask it bound to correct IPv4 address.

Convert various array loops in the net_if.c to use the ARRAY_FOR_EACH() macro. This makes the code more robust as we do not need to keep track of the separate define that tells the array size. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <[email protected]>
No need to loop through network interface addresses, just listen DHCPv4 bound event and use that as a condition to continue. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <[email protected]>
Convert various networking subsystem files to use ARRAY_FOR_EACH macro to make the looping more robust. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <[email protected]>

Setting milestone as 3.7 as we are past the RC1 for 3.6. Please correct the milestone if you disagree |

The netmask should be tied to the IPv4 address instead of being global for the network interface.
If there is only one IPv4 address specified to the network interface, nothing changes from user point of view. But if there are more than one IPv4 address / network interface, the netmask must be specified to each address separately.
This means that the
net_if_ipv4_get_netmask()andnet_if_ipv4_set_netmask()functions should not be used as they will only work reliably if there is only one IPv4 address in the network interface.Instead new
net_if_ipv4_get_netmask_by_addr()andnet_if_ipv4_set_netmask_by_addr()should be used instead as they make sure that the netmask is tied to correct IPv4 address in the network interface.No need to try to rush and try to get this to 3.6, existing functionality works for most of the use cases.
