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.

Did you test this for CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m? For me it isn't building :P.

It won't work like this. When nf_conntrack is a module, the vmlinux.o
of the kernel isn't linked to the object file nf_conntrack_bpf.o.
Hence it would be an undefined reference error. You don't see it in
BPF CI as we set CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=y (to simplify testing).

So you need to have code that locks and checks the cb pointer when
calling it outside the module, which means the global lock variable
and global cb pointer also need to be in the kernel. The module then
takes the same lock and sets cb pointer when loading. During unload,
it takes the same lock and sets it back to NULL.

You can have global variables in vmlinux that you reference from
modules. The compiler will emit a relocation for the module object
file which will be handled by the kernel during module load.

So please test it once with nf_conntrack built as a module before
sending the next revision. The only thing you need to do before
running ./test_progs -t bpf_nf is loading the module nf_conntrack.ko
(and its dependencies, nf_defrag_ipv{4,6}.ko).

Sorry about that. Will make sure to test that config setting.

Sure, I'll take a look. I was trying to keep conntrack symbols out of
the core object files as much as possible but looks like that won't be
possible.

However, I think to keep the globals symbols in vmlinux we'll need to
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() some symbols. Hopefully that is OK.

There's also some other issues I'm uncovering with duplicate BTF IDs for
nf_conn. Might have to do a lookup by name instead of the BTF_ID_LIST().

Will do.

Thanks again for the reviews,

No worries. We should probably think about being able to test it
automatically in CI, but not sure how that would be possible...

Yeah, for now hardcoding is ok I figure, later when we have more
modules doing this we can generalize it.

Yes, that should be ok.

I think I also hit this problem back when I was working on these
patches, is it similar to this?
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211028014428.rsuq6rkfvqzq23tg@apollo.localdomain

I think this might be a bug in the BTF generation, since there should
only be one BTF ID for a type, either in vmlinux or the module BTF.
Maybe Andrii would be able to confirm.

Yes, identical I think.

Had to put out some fires last week.

I chased this down a bit today and best I can tell was the `nf_conn`
definitions in BTF were all slightly different.

For example, here were the 3 definitions in nf_conntrack.ko alone:

    [88439] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=296 vlen=11
            'ct_general' type_id=67058 bits_offset=0

    [92469] STRUCT 'nf_conn' size=296 vlen=11
            'ct_general' type_id=67058 bits_offset=0
            'lock' type_id=373 bits_offset=64
            'timeout' type_id=160 bits_offset=576
            'tuplehash' type_id=67235 bits_offset=640
            'status' type_id=1 bits_offset=1536
            'ct_net' type_id=92160 bits_offset=1600
            '__nfct_init_offset' type_id=4213 bits_offset=1664

            'proto' type_id=67234 bits_offset=1856

Note how `master` and `ct_net` all have different BTF IDs. Best I can
tell is that there's some kind of subtle difference in BTF types and
it's confusing the dedup algorithm.

I went and upgraded to latest pahole (built from today's source tree) to
chase the issue down further but the problem went away.

Figured I'd write this up in case someone stumbles onto this in the
future.

[...]

Thanks,
Daniel
