It is already there - user can use act_mirred and redirect skb's with

You're right, I haven't thought of that.

The only thing that was added here, is to enable the user to drop the
metadata, which I think we agree is the ok.

Absolutely. It would be even better if the metadata could be dropped
automatically but I don't see any good place to do it.

But I agree with you, that I must understand the life cycle of the metadata and dst
better. I will try to understand it better and explain/fix accordingly.

Thanks!
