Hi All,
I have an application compiled against kernel 2.6.32 and which is
using XFRMA_MARK (value 20).
However the same aplication does not work anymore on kernel 2.6.38.8
due to XFRMA_MARK has now the value 21 because of a new attribute
XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC inserted before it in the file linux/xfrm.h.
Now the only solution would be recompiling this application. Is
correct introducing a new parameter in the middle of an existing enum
in the kernel headers ?
Rgds,
Eduardo Panisset.

It was not defined in 2.6.32. Perhaps you are using a distribution that
backported this feature incorrectly?

So far as I can see, in mainline Linux versions the value has always
been 21.
