Right. But, is there any way to do that in way like this?
Example:
There is one frame with 6 protocols.
P1 -> P2 -> P3 -> P4 -> P5 -> P6
How to obtain data (field?) from P1 in P5? For now I only see put data in all
protocols by pinfo->private_data. This is not flexible, because (P2-P4) does
not use it, but must implement adding data to own private_data structure (I
guess pass along previous private_data is not allowed).
Maybe we should create similar API for that case? This will avoid mixing
protocols data (P3 should not know about that data)
