When inet_rtm_getroute() was converted to use the RCU variants of
ip_route_input() and ip_route_output_key(), the TOS parameters
stopped being masked with IPTOS_RT_MASK before doing the route lookup.
As a result, "ip route get" can return a different route than what
would be used when sending real packets.
For example:
$ ip route add 192.0.2.11/32 dev eth0
$ ip route add unreachable 192.0.2.11/32 tos 2
$ ip route get 192.0.2.11 tos 2
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
But, packets with TOS 2 (ECT(0) if interpreted as an ECN bit) would
actually be routed using the first route:
$ ping -c 1 -Q 2 192.0.2.11
PING 192.0.2.11 (192.0.2.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.0.2.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.173 ms
--- 192.0.2.11 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.173/0.173/0.173/0.000 ms
This patch re-applies IPTOS_RT_MASK in inet_rtm_getroute(), to
return results consistent with real route lookups.

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.
