Thank you for taking the time to look this over. I will be looking
into the build issues.

Sounds good. I will submit as a series for v2.

Native xdp connection tracking would be cool as well. Cilium seems to
have ebpf conntrack; perhaps it can provide some useful insights into
that effort.

Even with native xdp connection tracking available, I see value in
these helpers, particularly when core conntrack is already in use.

The interface (and much of the code) is a clone of the
bpf_sk_lookup_xxx helper functions. I figured having it match would
both make it familiar and give this patch a better chance of being
applied.

I'd prefer not to diverge from bpf_sk_lookup_xxx helpers here. That
is my only objection to what you propose.

Good idea. I'll work this into v2 for additional clarity.

Sure, I can reduce this down if desired. I was viewing it more as
following the pattern seen in other check access functions.

I do plan to introduce a "tcp_nf_conn" as another series, akin to
"tcp_sock". When that happens this construct may make more sense.

e.g.
       case offsetof(struct bpf_tcp_nf_conn, state):
...
               *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_B, si->dst_reg, si->src_reg,
                               offsetof(struct nf_conn, proto) +
                               offsetof(union nf_conntrack_proto, tcp) +
                               offsetof(struct ip_ct_tcp, state));

These three are mostly a question of if we want to diverge from
__bpf_sk_lookup. If we choose to do so, then do we want to update
__bpf_sk_lookup to match? I think there is benefit to having the
uapi exposed interfaces match.
