Guillaume Nault says: ==================== ipv4: Convert ip_route_input_slow() and its callers to dscp_t. Prepare ip_route_input_slow() and its call chain to future conversion of ->flowi4_tos. The ->flowi4_tos field of "struct flowi4" is used in many different places, which makes it hard to convert it from __u8 to dscp_t. In order to avoid a big patch updating all its users at once, this patch series gradually converts some users to dscp_t. Those users now set ->flowi4_tos from a dscp_t variable that is converted to __u8 using inet_dscp_to_dsfield(). When all users of ->flowi4_tos will use a dscp_t variable, converting that field to dscp_t will just be a matter of removing all the inet_dscp_to_dsfield() conversions. This series concentrates on ip_route_input_slow() and its direct and indirect callers. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1727807926.git.gnault@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
