Thanks Yuehaibing, it's good we're on the same page now.

Just realized the patch I created above won't work for the case:

  policy A (mark.v = 0x10, mark.m = 0, priority = 1)
  policy B (mark.v = 0x1,  mark.m = 0, priority = 2)
  policy C (mark.v = 0x10, mark.m = 0, priority = 2)

when policy C is being added, the warning still occurs.

So I will just check value and priority:
-       u32 mark = policy->mark.v & policy->mark.m;
-
-       if (policy->mark.v == pol->mark.v && policy->mark.m == pol->mark.m)
-               return true;
-
-       if ((mark & pol->mark.m) == pol->mark.v &&
+       if (policy->mark.v == pol->mark.v &&
            policy->priority == pol->priority)
                return true;

This allows two policies like this exist:

  policy A (mark.v = 0x10, mark.m = 0, priority = 1)
  policy C (mark.v = 0x10, mark.m = 0, priority = 2)

But I don't think it's a problem.
