64-bit marks (both skb->mark and sk->sk_mark) would be useful for hosts doing complex policy routing as well. Current Android releases use 20 of the 32 bits. If the mark were 64 bits, we could put the UID in it, and stop using ip rules to implement per-UID routing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
