When using ip dscp in combination with bitwise operation: # nft --debug=netlink add rule ip x y 'ct mark set ip dscp | 0x4' ip x y [ payload load 1b @ network header + 1 => reg 1 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 & 0x000000fc ) ^ 0x00000000 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 >> 0x00000002 ) ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 & 0xfffffffb ) ^ 0x00000004 ] [ ct set mark with reg 1 ] the listing is showing in the incorrect byteorder: # nft list ruleset table ip x { chain y { ct mark set ip dscp | 0x4000000 } } handle and and or operations in host byteorder. The following command: # nft --debug=netlink add rule ip6 x y 'ct mark set ip6 dscp | 0x4' ip6 x y [ payload load 2b @ network header + 0 => reg 1 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 & 0x0000c00f ) ^ 0x00000000 ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 >> 0x00000006 ) ] [ byteorder reg 1 = ntoh(reg 1, 2, 1) ] [ bitwise reg 1 = ( reg 1 & 0xfffffffb ) ^ 0x00000004 ] [ ct set mark with reg 1 ] works fine (without requiring this patch) because there is an explicit byteorder expression. However, ip dscp takes only 1-byte, so it does not require the byteorder expression. Use host byteorder if the rhs of bitwise AND OR is larger than lhs payload expression and such expression is equal or less than 1-byte.
