With the addition of bit-shift operations, we are able to shift
ct/skbmark based on user requirements. However, this change might also
cause the most left/right hand- side mark to be accidentially lost
during shift operations.
This patch adds the ability to 'grep' certain bits based on ctmask or
nfmask out of the original mark. Then, apply shift operations to achieve
a new mapping between ctmark and skb->mark.
For example: If someone would like save the fourth F bits of ctmark
0xFFF(F)000F into the seventh hexadecimal (0) skb->mark 0xABC000(0)E.
new_targetmark = (ctmark & ctmask) >> 12;
(new) skb->mark = (skb->mark &~nfmask) ^
new_targetmark;
This will preserve the other bits that are not related to this
operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
