[ Upstream commit7e863e5db6] Pass a dscp_t variable to ip_route_input(), instead of a plain u8, to prevent accidental setting of ECN bits in ->flowi4_tos. Callers of ip_route_input() to consider are: * input_action_end_dx4_finish() and input_action_end_dt4() in net/ipv6/seg6_local.c. These functions set the tos parameter to 0, which is already a valid dscp_t value, so they don't need to be adjusted for the new prototype. * icmp_route_lookup(), which already has a dscp_t variable to pass as parameter. We just need to remove the inet_dscp_to_dsfield() conversion. * br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), ip_options_rcv_srr() and ip4ip6_err(), which get the DSCP directly from IPv4 headers. Define a helper to read the .tos field of struct iphdr as dscp_t, so that these function don't have to do the conversion manually. While there, declare *iph as const in br_nf_pre_routing_finish(), declare its local variables in reverse-christmas-tree order and move the "err = ip_route_input()" assignment out of the conditional to avoid checkpatch warning.

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 Restructured Text 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.
