On systems that use mark-based routing it may be necessary for routing lookups to use marks in order for packets to be routed correctly. An example of such a system is Android, which uses socket marks to route packets via different networks. Currently, routing lookups in tunnel mode always use a mark of zero, making routing incorrect on such systems. This patch adds a new output_mark element to the xfrm state and a corresponding XFRMA_OUTPUT_MARK netlink attribute. The output mark differs from the existing xfrm mark in two ways: 1. The xfrm mark is used to match xfrm policies and states, while the xfrm output mark is used to set the mark (and influence the routing) of the packets emitted by those states. 2. The existing mark is constrained to be a subset of the bits of the originating socket or transformed packet, but the output mark is arbitrary and depends only on the state. The use of a separate mark provides additional flexibility. For example: - A packet subject to two transforms (e.g., transport mode inside tunnel mode) can have two different output marks applied to it, one for the transport mode SA and one for the tunnel mode SA. - On a system where socket marks determine routing, the packets emitted by an IPsec tunnel can be routed based on a mark that is determined by the tunnel, not by the marks of the unencrypted packets. - Support for setting the output marks can be introduced without breaking any existing setups that employ both mark-based routing and xfrm tunnel mode. Simply changing the code to use the xfrm mark for routing output packets could xfrm mark could change behaviour in a way that breaks these setups. If the output mark is unspecified or set to zero, the mark is not set or changed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
