[LARTC] match mark problem still resists

[Ethy H. Brito]

Dear All

I am kinda frustrated with the lack of help some developers are dispensing to this
problem (read ignoring it).

A few days ago (december 22th) I reported a problem with 'tc filter match mark'
against 2.4 kernel series and got no answers that could lead me to any solution.

This is a steady problem that occurs in kernel 2.4 series and match mark (at
least for me).

I browsed thru the source codes but run thru a wall of bricks at some point.

I have a single question to developers of TC: Isn't it strange that my problem
be related to the only match inside 'parse_selector' that is treated
differently from other matches? 

All except 'mark' is parsed like parse_xxxx(&argc, &argv, sel, ..) and mark is
parsed parse_mark(&argc, &argv, n,..) where sel is a struct tc_u32_sel and n is
a struct nlmsghdr. 

I should say that this deserves at least an "You idiot, you are using it the
wrong way. Do like this and stop bothering me!" answer.

Sorry my tempestuous attitude.

Frustratedly

You should report it to a list that it actually read by developers,
namely netdev@vger.kernel.org.
