I will follow up with another patch to enable timestamping for
active TFO (client-side TCP Fast Open) and also setting packet
mark via cmsgs.

Can you share more details on what 'setting packet mark' does?

I meant, since SOL_SOCKET-level csmg's will be processed for all
protocols, users should be able to override sk->sk_mark via command
messages when possible similar to what the following patch did for
packet sockets:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/527991/

It'll be a tiny followup patch.

Nice patches!

Thank you so much!
