Hi All,
Many thanks for your replies!

Indeed, I've tried to find a solution to store data in skb (valid
until destructor).

I've chosen this solution according to previous email on this subject:
http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2008/11/11/93

I thought skb->mark was not used anymore at this level.
So I've used it to forward buffer index.

Do you think this solution is not acceptable?

Thanks,
Johann
