This is a repost of a previously posted patch.
Attached is a test for automatic testing of of the nwfilter rules as the
are instantiated in form of ebtables, iptables and ip6tables rules on
running VMs.
The test automatically starts libvirtd from the build directory unless
it finds libvirtd running. My hope is that one won't notice this. It
uses virsh from the build directory to create two dummy VMs with random
name suffixes. The VMs don't boot any OS but just stop in the BIOS. This
is enough to run the nwfilter tests. Afterwards the nwfilter of the one
VM are continuously modified and the instantiation is checked. The
instantiation of rules of the 2nd VM are also continously checked to
verify that the modifications on the 1st VM has had no effect on the
instantiated rules of the 2nd VM.
I'm still a bit wary of this patch. Is this something that can be done
with 'virsh -c test:///default' can do? Or can we at least copy how
daemon-conf runs an instance of libvirtd pointing to an independent pid
and config file, whether or not the system libvirtd is running?
Or should we be trying to do this as part of libvirt-tck instead?
