[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark

[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark

[Daniel Xu]

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:
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1660592020.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz/

Changes since v1:
- Add unimplemented stub for when !CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL

Daniel Xu (4):
  bpf: Remove duplicate PTR_TO_BTF_ID RO check
  bpf: Add stub for btf_struct_access()
  bpf: Add support for writing to nf_conn:mark
  selftests/bpf: Add tests for writing to nf_conn:mark
