<title>ipv4: Define inet_sk_init_flowi4() and use it in inet_sk_rebuild_header().</title>

<id>1dbdce30f040a87f5aa6a9dbe43be398737f090f</id>
<content type='text'>
IPv4 code commonly has to initialise a flowi4 structure from an IPv4
socket. This requires looking at potential IPv4 options to set the
proper destination address, call flowi4_init_output() with the correct
set of parameters and run the sk_classify_flow security hook.

Instead of reimplementing these operations in different parts of the
stack, let's define inet_sk_init_flowi4() which does all these
operations.

The first user is inet_sk_rebuild_header(), where inet_sk_init_flowi4()
replaces ip_route_output_ports(). Unlike ip_route_output_ports(), which
sets the flowi4 structure and performs the route lookup in one go,
inet_sk_init_flowi4() only initialises the flow. The route lookup is
then done by ip_route_output_flow(). Decoupling flow initialisation
from route lookup makes this new interface applicable more broadly as
it will allow some users to overwrite specific struct flowi4 members
before the route lookup.

We already have enough variants of ip_route_output*() functions. We
don't need a GRE specific one in the generic route.h header file.

Furthermore, ip_route_output_gre() is only used once, in ipgre_open(),
where it can be easily replaced by a simple call to
ip_route_output_key().

While there, and for clarity, explicitly set .flowi4_scope to
RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE instead of relying on the implicit zero
initialisation.

In this commit, we make ip_route_input_noref() return drop reasons, which
come from ip_route_input_rcu().

We need adjust the callers of ip_route_input_noref() to make sure the
return value of ip_route_input_noref() is used properly.

The errno that ip_route_input_noref() returns comes from ip_route_input
and bpf_lwt_input_reroute in the origin logic, and we make them return
-EINVAL on error instead. In the following patch, we will make
ip_route_input() returns drop reasons too.

Another caller of it is ip_rcv_finish_core-&gt;udp_v4_early_demux, and the

Convert the "tos" parameter of ip_route_output() to dscp_t. This way
we'll have a dscp_t value directly available when .flowi4_tos will
eventually be converted to dscp_t.

All ip_route_output() callers but one set this "tos" parameter to 0 and
therefore don't need to be adapted to the new prototype.

Only br_nf_pre_routing_finish() needs conversion. It can just use
ip4h_dscp() to get the DSCP field from the IPv4 header.

Pass a dscp_t variable to ip_mc_validate_source(), instead of a plain
u8, to prevent accidental setting of ECN bits in -&gt;flowi4_tos.

Callers of ip_mc_validate_source() to consider are:

  * ip_route_input_mc() which already has a dscp_t variable to pass as
    parameter. We just need to remove the inet_dscp_to_dsfield()
    conversion.

  * udp_v4_early_demux() which gets the DSCP directly from the IPv4
    header and can simply use the ip4h_dscp() helper.

Also, stop including net/inet_dscp.h in udp.c as we don't use any of
its declarations anymore.
