2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Dan Siemon <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 4a2b9c3756077c05dd8666e458a751d2248b61b6 ] ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER (1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0) This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop probabilities. This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely used.
