Subject: ipv6: Fix tcp socket connection with DSCP.
From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8230680f36fd1525303d1117768c8852314c488c upstream.
Take into account the IPV6_TCLASS socket option (DSCP) in
tcp_v6_connect(). Otherwise fib6_rule_match() can't properly
match the DSCP value, resulting in invalid route lookup.
For example:
ip route add unreachable table main 2001:db8::10/124
ip route add table 100 2001:db8::10/124 dev eth0
ip -6 rule add dsfield 0x04 table 100
echo test | socat - TCP6:[2001:db8::11]:54321,ipv6-tclass=0x04
Without this patch, socat fails at connect() time ("No route to host")
because the fib-rule doesn't jump to table 100 and the lookup ends up
being done in the main table.
