Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 0/6] Support direct writes to nf_conn:mark

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:
- v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1661192455.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz/
- 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 v4:
- Use exported function pointer + mutex to handle CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m
  case

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 (6):
  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: Export btf_type_by_id() and bpf_log()
  bpf: Add support for writing to nf_conn:mark
  selftests/bpf: Add tests for writing to nf_conn:mark
