Since: commit 9f4e35dc73ec9e940aa61bc7c140c2b800218ef3 Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Mon Mar 18 17:31:21 2019 +0000 network: improve error report when firewall chain creation fails We cache an error when failing to create the top level firewall chains. This commit failed to account for fact that we may invoke networkPreReloadFirewallRules() many times while libvirtd is running. For example when firewalld is restarted. When this happens the original failure may no longer occurr and we'll successfully create our top level chains. We failed to clear the cached error resulting in us failing to start virtual networks.
