====================
Unmask upper DSCP bits - part 3
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.
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, specifically in the callers of
ip_route_output_ports().
The next patchset (last) will handle the callers of
ip_route_output_key(). Split from this patchset to avoid going over the
15 patches limit.
No functional changes are expected as commit

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.
