Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark from TC and XDP prog types. This is useful when applications want to store per-connection metadata. This is also particularly useful for applications that run both bpf and iptables/nftables because the latter can trivially access this metadata.
One example use case would be if a bpf prog is responsible for advanced packet classification and iptables/nftables is later used for routing due to pre-existing/legacy code.
Past discussion: - v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1660951028.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz/ - v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAP01T74Sgn354dXGiFWFryu4vg+o8b9s9La1d9zEbC4LGvH4qg@mail.gmail.com/T/ - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1660592020.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz/
Changes since v3: - Use a mutex to protect module load/unload critical section
Changes since v2: - Remove use of NOT_INIT for btf_struct_access write path - Disallow nf_conn writing when nf_conntrack module not loaded - Support writing to nf_conn___init:mark
Changes since v1: - Add unimplemented stub for when !CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL
Daniel Xu (5): bpf: Remove duplicate PTR_TO_BTF_ID RO check bpf: Add stub for btf_struct_access() bpf: Use 0 instead of NOT_INIT for btf_struct_access() writes bpf: Add support for writing to nf_conn:mark selftests/bpf: Add tests for writing to nf_conn:mark
