    netfilter: xt_socket: add XT_SOCKET_RESTORESKMARK flag · 01555e74

    xt_socket is useful for matching sockets with IP_TRANSPARENT and
    taking some action on the matching packets. However, it lacks the
    ability to match only a small subset of transparent sockets.
    
    Suppose there are 2 applications, each with its own set of transparent
    sockets. The first application wants all matching packets dropped,
    while the second application wants them forwarded somewhere else.
    
    Add the ability to retore the skb->mark from the sk_mark. The mark
    is only restored if a matching socket is found and the transparent /
    nowildcard conditions are satisfied.
    
    Now the 2 hypothetical applications can differentiate their sockets
    based on a mark value set with SO_MARK.
    
    iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -m socket --transparent \
                                               --restore-skmark -j action
    iptables -t mangle -A action -m mark --mark 10 -j action2
    iptables -t mangle -A action -m mark --mark 11 -j action3
