From bcb0da7fffee9464073998b267ce5543da2356d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias May matthias.may@westermo.com Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2022 21:19:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mlx5: do not use RT_TOS for IPv6 flowlabel
According to Guillaume Nault RT_TOS should never be used for IPv6.
Quote: RT_TOS() is an old macro used to interprete IPv4 TOS as described in the obsolete RFC 1349. It's conceptually wrong to use it even in IPv4 code, although, given the current state of the code, most of the existing calls have no consequence.
But using RT_TOS() in IPv6 code is always a bug: IPv6 never had a "TOS" field to be interpreted the RFC 1349 way. There's no historical compatibility to worry about.
