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,
