Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling

Original cover letter:

  Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:

    - responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default
    - 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set

  Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a
  host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so
  we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check.

  We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make
  this case work.

  In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have'
  information is the dst_features field.

  The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a
  serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus
  tree.

v1 -> v2:
 - Addressed Dave's feedback, not exposing any bits to user space
 - Added patch 3 to reject incorrect configurations
 - Rest as is, rebased and retested

Thanks!

  fib, fib6: reject invalid feature bits
  tcp: use dctcp if enabled on the route to the initiator
