This fix addresses two problems in the way the DSCP field is formulated on the encapsulating header of IPv6 tunnels. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195661 1) The IPv6 tunneling code was manipulating the DSCP field of the encapsulating packet using the 32b flowlabel. Since the flowlabel is only the lower 20b it was incorrect to assume that the upper 12b containing the DSCP and ECN fields would remain intact when formulating the encapsulating header. This fix handles the 'inherit' and 'fixed-value' DSCP cases explicitly using the extant dsfield u8 variable. 2) The use of INET_ECN_encapsulate(0, dsfield) in ip6_tnl_xmit was incorrect and resulted in the DSCP value always being set to 0. Commit 90427ef5d2a4 ("ipv6: fix flow labels when the traffic class is non-0") caused the regression by masking out the flowlabel which exposed the incorrect handling of the DSCP portion of the flowlabel in ip6_tunnel and ip6_gre.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
