The new helpers (bpf_ct_lookup_tcp and bpf_ct_lookup_udp) allow to query connection tracking information of TCP and UDP connections based on source and destination IP address and port. The helper returns a pointer to struct nf_conn (if the conntrack entry was found), which needs to be released with bpf_ct_release. Signed-off-by: Maxim Mikityanskiy <redacted> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>The last discussion on this [0] suggested that stable BPF helpers for conntrack were not desired, hence the recent series [1] to extend kfunc support to modules and base the conntrack work on top of it, which I'm working on now (supporting both CT lookup and insert).If you have conntrack lookup, I can base my solution on top of yours. As it supports modules, it's even better. What is the current status of your work? When do you plan to submit a series? Please add me to Cc when you do.
Great, I'll post the lookup stuff separately next week, and Cc you. Thanks!
Thanks for reviewing!
