As explained in commit 35ebf65e85 ("ipv4: Create and use
fib_compute_spec_dst() helper."), the function is used - for example -
to determine the source address for an ICMP reply. If we are responding
to a multicast or broadcast packet, the source address is set to the
source address that we would use if we were to send a packet to the
unicast source of the original packet. This address is determined by
performing a FIB lookup and using the preferred source address of the
resulting route.
Unmask the upper DSCP bits of the DS field of the packet that triggered
the reply so that in the future the FIB lookup could be performed
according to the full DSCP value.
No functional changes intended since the upper DSCP bits are masked when
comparing against the TOS selectors in FIB rules and routes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
