Merge branch 'unmask-dscp-bits'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Unmask upper DSCP bits - part 2 tl;dr - This patchset continues to unmask the upper DSCP bits in the IPv4 flow key in preparation for allowing IPv4 FIB rules to match on DSCP. No functional changes are expected. Part 1 was merged in commit ("Merge branch 'unmask-upper-dscp-bits-part-1'"). The TOS field in the IPv4 flow key ('flowi4_tos') is used during FIB lookup to match against the TOS selector in FIB rules and routes. It is currently impossible for user space to configure FIB rules that match on the DSCP value as the upper DSCP bits are either masked in the various call sites that initialize the IPv4 flow key or along the path to the FIB core. In preparation for adding a DSCP selector to IPv4 and IPv6 FIB rules, we need to make sure the entire DSCP value is present in the IPv4 flow key. This patchset continues to unmask the upper DSCP bits, but this time in the output route path. Patches #1-#3 unmask the upper DSCP bits in the various places that invoke the core output route lookup functions directly. Patches #4-#6 do the same in three helpers that are widely used in the output path to initialize the TOS field in the IPv4 flow key. The rest of the patches continue to unmask these bits in call sites that invoke the following wrappers around the core lookup functions: Patch #7 - __ip_route_output_key() Patches #8-#12 - ip_route_output_flow() The next patchset will handle the callers of ip_route_output_ports() and ip_route_output_key(). No functional changes are expected as commit 1fa3314c ("ipv4: Centralize TOS matching") moved the masking of the upper DSCP bits to the core where 'flowi4_tos' is matched against the TOS selector.
