Comment(by cscott):

 More comments on the most recent version of the patch (in addition to what
 dilinger said):
 * I think you need a memory fence between the write to
 mesh_sk->orig_sk_destruct and the write to sk->sk_destruct in
 do_mesh_set_mesh_ttl.  Your mesh_sks_lock doesn't protect changes to sk.
 * Your definitions in linux/in.h don't match your suggested userland code
 in the header of the patch.  It looks like you need to rename both
 MESH_SO_SET_TTL and MESH_SO_GET_TTL to SO_MESH_TTL.

 Minor:
 * please remove the bits of the patch that affect pkt_len.  That might be
 a good idea, but belongs in a separate patch, unless...
 * Why are you incrementing tx_packet_location and not tx_packet_length?
 Is that a bug?  Should you be updating pkt_len (and is that the reason for
 replacing tx_packet_length with pkt_len)?
