I think we can retrieve any information from conntrack with such
a general name, including skb mark. So, as you already pick the
name ctinfo, please make it general rather than just DSCP.
You can add skb mark into your ctinfo too so that act_connmark
can be just replaced.

Your patch looks fine from a quick galance, please make sure
you run checkpatch.pl to keep your coding style aligned to Linux
kernel's, at least I don't think we accept C++ style comments.

Thanks.
