This patch enables the user to propagate netfilter MARK values from
tunneled packets to the tunnel packets. The primary use for this is QoS: it
enables you to MARK a packet before it enters a tunnel and then later pick
up the packet when it's about to leave the physical interface.
jamal <hadi@xxxxxxxxxx> suggested to also propagate other skb specifics
like the tcindex and priority. I haven't included these in the current
patch for the very simple reason that I don't understand what they mean ;-)
The patch is currently limited to GRE, IPIP and SIT.
Patch is attached to this mail, but also can be downloaded from
