Callers of flowi4_update_output() never try to update ->flowi4_tos:
* ip_route_connect() updates ->flowi4_tos with its own current
value.
* ip_route_newports() has two users: tcp_v4_connect() and
dccp_v4_connect. Both initialise fl4 with ip_route_connect(), which
in turn sets ->flowi4_tos with RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos) and
->flowi4_scope based on SOCK_LOCALROUTE.
Then ip_route_newports() updates ->flowi4_tos with
RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), which is the same as RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos),
unless SOCK_LOCALROUTE is set on the socket. In that case, the
lowest order bit is set to 1, to eventually inform
ip_route_output_key_hash() to restrict the scope to RT_SCOPE_LINK.
This is equivalent to properly setting ->flowi4_scope as
ip_route_connect() did.
* ip_vs_xmit.c initialises ->flowi4_tos with memset(0), then calls
flowi4_update_output() with tos=0.
* sctp_v4_get_dst() uses the same RT_CONN_FLAGS_TOS() when
initialising ->flowi4_tos and when calling flowi4_update_output().
In the end, ->flowi4_tos never changes. So let's just drop the tos
parameter. This will simplify the conversion of ->flowi4_tos from __u8
to dscp_t.

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 Restructured Text 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.
