Matthias May says: ==================== 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. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220805191906.9323-1-matthias.may@westermo.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
