how to attach more info to a connection?

[Henrik Nordstrom]

I think you better extend the connection tracking entry structure with
storage for what you need. 

Theoretically you could also build a separate table, and hook into
conntrack to get notified when conntrack entries are destroyed (see
ip_conntrack_notify_register). This approach is probably better if you
need a lot of storage and only on a small subset of all tracked
connections. Also required if you need to do additional processing when
the connection disappears.

To find which connection a packet belongs to you call ip_conntrack_get
