From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Initialize the ip cookie tos field when initializing the cookie, in ipcm_init_sk. The existing code inverts the standard pattern for initializing cookie fields. Default is to initialize the field from the sk, then possibly overwrite that when parsing cmsgs (the unlikely case). This field inverts that, setting the field to an illegal value and after cmsg parsing checking whether the value is still illegal and thus should be overridden. Be careful to always apply mask INET_DSCP_MASK, as before.
I have a similar doubt here. I'm unsure we can change an established behavior.
v1->v2 - limit INET_DSCP_MASK to routing
Minor nit, this should come after the '---' separator. Yep, it used to be the other way around, but we have less uAPI constraints here ;) /P
