3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e895cdce683161081e3626c4f5a5c55cb72089f8 upstream.
In commit f02db315b8d8 ("ipv4: IP_TOS and IP_TTL can be specified as
ancillary data") Francesco added IP_TOS values specified as integer.
However, kernel sends to userspace (at recvmsg() time) an IP_TOS value
in a single byte, when IP_RECVTOS is set on the socket.
It can be very useful to reflect all ancillary options as given by the
kernel in a subsequent sendmsg(), instead of aborting the sendmsg() with
EINVAL after Francesco patch.
So this patch extends IP_TOS ancillary to accept an u8, so that an UDP
server can simply reuse same ancillary block without having to mangle
it.
Jesper can then augment
https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/src/udp_example02.c
to add TOS reflection ;)
