Define a dscp_t type and its appropriate helpers that ensure ECN bits are not taken into account when handling DSCP. Use this new type to replace the tclass field of struct fib6_rule, so that fib6-rules don't get influenced by ECN bits anymore. Before this patch, fib6-rules didn't make any distinction between the DSCP and ECN bits. Therefore, rules specifying a DSCP (tos or dsfield options in iproute2) stopped working as soon a packets had at least one of its ECN bits set (as a work around one could create four rules for each DSCP value to match, one for each possible ECN value). After this patch fib6-rules only compare the DSCP bits. ECN doesn't influence the result anymore. Also, fib6-rules now must have the 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.
