https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1607202 It's essentially stated in the nwfilterBindingDelete that we will allow the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by deleting the nwfilter binding which then allows them to undefine the nwfilter that is in use for the running guest... However, by allowing this we cause a problem for libvirtd restart reconnect processing which would then try to recreate the missing binding attempting to use the deleted filter resulting in an error and thus shutting the guest down. So rather than keep adding virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate flags to "ignore" specific error conditions, modify the logic to ignore, but VIR_WARN errors other than ignoreExists. This will at least allow the guest to not shutdown for only nwfilter binding errors that we can now perhaps recover from since we have the binding create/delete capability. Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan(a)redhat.com&gt; --- v2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-August/msg01567.html Differences to v2.

ping^2? Tks, John These are essentially what Daniel and I agreed upon during the v2 review - link the patches below...
