From 02b2b7372727b832a2e2fb1510b81e2c3eae2825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias May Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2022 21:19:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] geneve: do not use RT_TOS for IPv6 flowlabel commit ca2bb69514a8bc7f83914122f0d596371352416c upstream. According to Guillaume Nault RT_TOS should never be used for IPv6. Quote: RT_TOS() is an old macro used to interprete IPv4 TOS as described in the obsolete RFC 1349. It's conceptually wrong to use it even in IPv4 code, although, given the current state of the code, most of the existing calls have no consequence. But using RT_TOS() in IPv6 code is always a bug: IPv6 never had a "TOS" field to be interpreted the RFC 1349 way. There's no historical compatibility to worry about.
