Commit 563f8e97e054 ("ipv4: Stop taking ECN bits into account in fib4-rules") replaced the validation test on frh->tos. While the new test is stricter for ECN bits, it doesn't detect the use of high order DSCP bits. This would be fine if IPv4 could properly handle them. But currently, most IPv4 lookups are done with the three high DSCP bits masked. Therefore, using these bits doesn't lead to the expected result. Let's reject such configurations again, so that nobody starts to use and make any assumption about how the stack handles the three high order DSCP bits in fib4 rules.

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.
