Subject: ipv6: Fix datagram socket connection with DSCP.
From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e010ae08c71fda8be3d6bda256837795a0b3ea41 upstream.
Take into account the IPV6_TCLASS socket option (DSCP) in
ip6_datagram_flow_key_init(). 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 - UDP6:[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.
