From: Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760442 When a network has any forward type other than route, nat or none, the network configuration should be done completely external to libvirt - libvirt only uses these types to allow configuring guests in a manner that isn't tied to a specific host (all the host-specific information, in particular interface names, port profile data, and bandwidth configuration is in the network definition, and the guest configuration only references it). Due to a bug in the bridge network driver, libvirt was adding iptables rules for networks with forward type='bridge' etc. any time libvirtd was restarted while one of these networks was active. This patch eliminates that error by only "reloading" iptables rules if forward type is route, nat, or none. --- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/network/bridge_driver.c b/src/network/bridge_driver.c index 63338a2..44c80e1 100644 --- a/src/network/bridge_driver.c +++ b/src/network/bridge_driver.c @@ -1470,14 +1470,22 @@ networkReloadIptablesRules(struct network_driver *driver) VIR_INFO("Reloading iptables rules"); for (i = 0 ; i < driver->networks.count ; i++) { - virNetworkObjLock(driver->networks.objs[i]); - if (virNetworkObjIsActive(driver->networks.objs[i])) { - networkRemoveIptablesRules(driver, driver->networks.objs[i]); - if (networkAddIptablesRules(driver, driver->networks.objs[i]) < 0) { + virNetworkObjPtr network = driver->networks.objs[i]; + + virNetworkObjLock(network); + if (virNetworkObjIsActive(network) && + ((network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_NONE) || + (network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_NAT) || + (network->def->forwardType == VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_ROUTE))) { + /* Only the three L3 network types that are configured by libvirt + * need to have iptables rules reloaded. + */ + networkRemoveIptablesRules(driver, network); + if (networkAddIptablesRules(driver, network) < 0) { /* failed to add but already logged */ } } - virNetworkObjUnlock(driver->networks.objs[i]); + virNetworkObjUnlock(network); } } -- 1.7.7.3 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
