Use the new dscp_t type to replace the tos field of struct fib4_rule, so that fib4-rules consistently ignore ECN bits. Before this patch, fib4-rules did accept rules with the high order ECN bit set (but not the low order one). Also, it relied on its callers masking the ECN bits of ->flowi4_tos to prevent those from influencing the result. This was brittle and a few call paths still do the lookup without masking the ECN bits first. After this patch fib4-rules only compare the DSCP bits. ECN can't influence the result anymore, even if the caller didn't mask these bits. Also, fib4-rules now must have both ECN bits cleared or they will be rejected.

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 Restructured Text 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.
