ipv4: consider TOS in fib_select_default
fib_select_default considers alternative routes only when res->fi is for the first alias in res->fa_head. In the common case this can happen only when the initial lookup matches the first alias with highest TOS value. This prevents the alternative routes to require specific TOS. This patch solves the problem as follows: - routes that require specific TOS should be returned by fib_select_default only when TOS matches, as already done in fib_table_lookup. This rule implies that depending on the TOS we can have many different lists of alternative gateways and we have to keep the last used gateway (fa_default) in first alias for the TOS instead of using single tb_default value. - as the aliases are ordered by many keys (TOS desc, fib_priority asc), we restrict the possible results to routes with matching TOS and lowest metric (fib_priority) and routes that match any TOS, again with lowest metric. For example, packet with TOS 8 can not use gw3 (not lowest metric), gw4 (different TOS) and gw6 (not lowest metric), all other gateways can be used: tos 8 via gw1 metric 2 <--- res->fa_head and res->fi tos 8 via gw2 metric 2 tos 8 via gw3 metric 3 tos 4 via gw4 tos 0 via gw5 tos 0 via gw6 metric 1 Reported-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.
