It's stated that if the admin wants to shoot themselves in
the foot by removing the nwfilter binding while the domain
is running we will certainly allow that. However, in doing
so we also run the risk that a libvirtd restart will cause
the domain to be shutdown, which isn't a good thing.
So add another boolean to virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate
which allows us to recover somewhat gracefully in the event
the virNWFilterBindingCreateXML fails when we come from
qemuProcessReconnect and we determine that the filter has
been deleted. It was there at some point (it had to be), but
if it's missing, then we don't want to cause the guest to
stop running, so issue a warning and continue on.

Instantiate will call virNWFilterInstantiateFilterInternal which calls virNWFilterInstantiateFilterUpdate (eventually) which calls virNWFilterObjListFindInstantiateFilter because someone deleted the filter after deleting the portdev before hand. As the bz shows, one cannot delete the filter because it's active in the portdev; however, deleting the portdev allows one to delete the filter. Once the port is deleted, the 'ebtables -t nat -L' will show it's gone. Attempting to create the portdev again when libvirtd restarts (because virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate is called during that processing) will cause a failure and the guest will be stopped.

After restarting libvirtd, I can define the filter again and use the *CreateXML API in order to reinstate the filter for the guest as shown in the ebtables output. And yes, I understand/agree that if some admin ends up using the virNWFilterBindingDelete API they are on their own, but I think the shutdown would be unexpected. Another "option" I considered was to alter the live XML to remove the net->filter so that a subsequent libvirtd restart wouldn't fail. That may be accomplish-able via some @flag usage for the *Delete API to know the call didn't come from the hypervisor induced call, but I wasn't sure if it was "fail safe" and altering the live XML for the guest has it's own drawbacks/failures that would need to be handled.

If just the nwfilter binding was removed, then libvirtd restart would have been fine because it would have recreated the nwfilter binding.

There's only one caller to qemuProcessFiltersInstantiate which does: if (qemuProcessFiltersInstantiate(obj->def, true)) goto error; Of course what's the purpose of distinguishing between ignoreExists and ignoreDeleted then? Essentially what you're indicating is we wouldn't care about any error because virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate wouldn't be distinguishing between any error (because there's only one caller to qemuProcessFiltersInstantiate). I could change the last argument to virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate to be a flag instead of a bool so that if we have future errors we care to ignore we don't keep adding bool arguments, but that's just a implementation detail. Again, I could go back and figure out a way for the *Delete path to remove the live net->filter based on the path taken so that when we get here we wouldn't find the net->filter and thus wouldn't call the instantiate function. It's just a different approach, but I'm hesitant mainly because then one wouldn't be able to use the *CreateXML API to reinstate the filter. I'm not as clear about all the (wacko) use cases.

Oh thats a good point - I forgot ignoreExists was for the same reason. > > I could change the last argument to virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate to > be a flag instead of a bool so that if we have future errors we care to > ignore we don't keep adding bool arguments, but that's just a > implementation detail. We've deal with 1 problem scenario (alredy existing binding) and now adding a second (missing filter). Will someone find a third scenario and then a fourth. The flags argument ends up effectively being a bitmask of lines where we ignore errors. I'm wondering is it *ever* valid to treat failure of this filter call as a fatal problem and teardown an already running VM ? My gut says no. So perhaps we remove the ignoreExists parameter too, and just make that one caller simply ignore the errors on restarts.
