net: fib_rules: Add DSCP selector support
Currently, the kernel rejects IPv4 FIB rules that try to match on the
upper three DSCP bits:
# ip -4 rule add tos 0x1c table 100
# ip -4 rule add tos 0x3c table 100
Error: Invalid tos.
The reason for that is that historically users of the FIB lookup API
only populated the lower three DSCP bits in the TOS field of the IPv4
flow key ('flowi4_tos'), which fits the TOS definition from the initial
IPv4 specification (RFC 791).
This is not very useful nowadays and instead some users want to be able
to match on the six bits DSCP field, which replaced the TOS and IP
precedence fields over 25 years ago (RFC 2474). In addition, the current
behavior differs between IPv4 and IPv6 which does allow users to match
on the entire DSCP field using the TOS selector.
Recent patchsets made sure that callers of the FIB lookup API now
populate the entire DSCP field in the IPv4 flow key. Therefore, it is
now possible to extend FIB rules to match on DSCP.
This is done by adding a new DSCP attribute which is implemented for
both IPv4 and IPv6 to provide user space programs a consistent behavior
between both address families.
The behavior of the old TOS selector is unchanged and IPv4 FIB rules
using it will only match on the lower three DSCP bits. The kernel will
reject rules that try to use both selectors.
Patch #1 adds the new DSCP attribute but rejects its usage.
Patches #2-#3 implement IPv4 and IPv6 support.
Patch #4 allows user space to use the new attribute.
Patches #5-#6 add selftests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
