[ Upstream commit 21fdca22eb7df2a1e194b8adb812ce370748b733 ]
RT_TOS() only clears one of the ECN bits. Therefore, when fib_compute_spec_dst() resorts to a fib lookup, it can return different results depending on the value of the second ECN bit.
For example, ECT(0) and ECT(1) packets could be treated differently.
$ ip netns add ns0 $ ip netns add ns1 $ ip link add name veth01 netns ns0 type veth peer name veth10 netns ns1 $ ip -netns ns0 link set dev lo up $ ip -netns ns1 link set dev lo up $ ip -netns ns0 link set dev veth01 up $ ip -netns ns1 link set dev veth10 up
$ ip -netns ns0 address add 192.0.2.10/24 dev veth01 $ ip -netns ns1 address add 192.0.2.11/24 dev veth10
$ ip -netns ns1 address add 192.0.2.21/32 dev lo $ ip -netns ns1 route add 192.0.2.10/32 tos 4 dev veth10 src 192.0.2.21 $ ip netns exec ns1 sysctl -wq net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=0
With TOS 4 and ECT(1), ns1 replies using source address 192.0.2.21 (ping uses -Q to set all TOS and ECN bits):
$ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 5 192.0.2.255 [...] 64 bytes from 192.0.2.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.544 ms
But with TOS 4 and ECT(0), ns1 replies using source address 192.0.2.11 because the "tos 4" route isn't matched:
$ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 6 192.0.2.255 [...] 64 bytes from 192.0.2.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.597 ms
After this patch the ECN bits don't affect the result anymore:
$ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 6 192.0.2.255 [...] 64 bytes from 192.0.2.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.591 ms
