From: Gerrit Renker Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 08:12:49 +0000 (+0000) Subject: inet6: Set default traffic class X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26ced1e4aa181c01379b0b7ef156a29c000d1f8c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git inet6: Set default traffic class This patch addresses: * assigning -1 to np->tclass as it is currently done is not very meaningful, since it turns into 0xff; * RFC 3542, 6.5 allows -1 for clearing the sticky IPV6_TCLASS option and specifies -1 to mean "use kernel default": - RFC 2460, 7. requires that the default traffic class must be zero for all 8 bits, - this is consistent with RFC 2474, 4.1 which recommends a default PHB of 0, in combination with a value of the ECN field of "non-ECT" (RFC 3168, 5.). This patch changes the meaning of -1 from assigning 255 to mean the RFC 2460 default, which at the same time allows to satisfy clearing the sticky TCLASS option as per RFC 3542, 6.5. (When passing -1 as ancillary data, the fallback remains np->tclass, which has either been set via socket options, or contains the default value.) Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S.
