This series fixes routed networks when a newer firewalld (>= 1.0.0) is
present [1]. Firewalld 1.0.0 included a change that disallows implicit
forwarding between zones [2]. libvirt was relying on this behavior to
allow routed networks to function.
Firewalld policies are added. Policies have been supported since
firewalld 0.9.0. If the running firewall does not support policies, then
it will fallback to the current zone only behavior.
My goal is to get libvirt to a fully native firewalld backend; no
iptables rules. This series is phase 1 of that effort. The next steps
are:
1. introduce a "libvirt-nat" zone and policies
- the current "libvirt" zone will become obsolete
2. go full native firewalld, do not use iptables directly
- currently a hybrid of iptables + firewalld is used
v3:
- rebase, retest, resend
v2:
- keep existing libvirt zone as is
- remove "<forward />" in libvirt-routed zone because this feature
requires firewalld >= 0.9.0. Has no impact since the added policies
allow forwarding libvirt-routed <--> ANY zone (including itself).
- add probe for policies: virFirewallDGetPolicies(),
virFirewallDPolicyExists()

New subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] network: firewalld: add zone for routed networks
This zone will be used for the routed network by default.
Note that this zone definition omits "forward" aka intra-zone
forwarding, because it requires firewalld >= 0.9.0.

New subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] network: firewalld: add support for routed networks
Hey Eric!
I *finally* set things up to test this adequately, and it all looks good
and is operating properly. The one nit I found with the content of the
patches was that the new zone/policy files weren't added to the
specfile, so I've done that.
I'm now ready to push all the patches, but wanted to put more
explanation into this final patch that turns it all on. Does the
following sound okay to you?:
network: firewalld: allow incoming connections to guests on routed networks
Prior to firewalld version 0.9.0, the default action of ACCEPT in the
"libvirt" zone (subsequently overridden with a lower priority
"REJECT"
action) would result in an implicit rule that allowed incoming sessions
through the zone; libvirt relied on this implicit rule to permit
incoming connections to guests that were connected via a libvirt
"routed" network.
Starting in firewalld 0.9.0, the rules generated for this same
zonefile changed such that incoming sessions through the libvirt zone
were no longer allowed, breaking the longstanding convention that they
should be allowed (only for routed networks).
This patch changes the zone for routed networks from "libvirt" to
the newly-added "libvirt-routed" zone so that incoming sessions to
guests on routed networks are once again allowed.

Thanks! Sorry I missed it.

network: firewalld: allow incoming connections to guests on routed networks
Prior to firewalld version 0.9.0, the default action of ACCEPT in the
s/0.9.0/1.0.0/
"libvirt" zone (subsequently overridden with a lower
priority "REJECT"
action) would result in an implicit rule that allowed incoming sessions

zonefile changed such that incoming sessions through the libvirt
zone
were no longer allowed, breaking the longstanding convention that they
should be allowed (only for routed networks).
The behavior changed in firewalld 1.0.0. However, the new zone,
"libvirt-routed", will be active when firewalld >= 0.9.0 is present.
This patch changes the zone for routed networks from
"libvirt" to
the newly-added "libvirt-routed" zone so that incoming sessions to
guests on routed networks are once again allowed.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2055706
Otherwise, lgtm.
Thanks again.
