When libvirt added support for firewalld, we were unable to use
firewalld's higher level rules, because they weren't detailed enough
and could not be applied to the iptables FORWARD or OUTPUT chains
(only to the INPUT chain). Instead we changed our code so that rather
than running the iptables/ip6tables/ebtables binaries ourselves, we
would send these commands to firewalld as "passthrough commands", and
firewalld would run the appropriate program on our behalf.
This was done under the assumption that firewalld was somehow tracking
all these rules, and that this tracking was benefitting proper
operation of firewalld and the system in general.
Several years later this came up in a discussion on IRC, and we
learned from the firewalld developers that, in fact, adding iptables
and ebtables rules with firewalld's passthrough commands actually has
*no* advantage; firewalld doesn't keep track of these rules in any
way, and doesn't use them to tailor the construction of its own rules.
Meanwhile, users have been complaining for some time that whenever
firewalld is restarted on a system with libvirt virtual networks
and/or nwfilter rules active, the system logs would be flooded with
warning messages whining that [lots of different rules] could not be
deleted because they didn't exist. For example:
firewalld[3536040]: WARNING: COMMAND_FAILED:
'/usr/sbin/iptables -w10 -w --table filter --delete LIBVIRT_OUT
--out-interface virbr4 --protocol udp --destination-port 68
--jump ACCEPT' failed: iptables: Bad rule
(does a matching rule exist in that chain?).
(See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1790837 for many more examples and a
discussion)
Note that these messages are created by iptables, but are logged by
firewalld - when an iptables/ebtables command fails, firewalld grabs
whatever is in stderr of the program, and spits it out to the system
log as a warning. We've requested that firewalld not do this (and
instead leave it up to the calling application to do the appropriate
logging), but this request has been respectfully denied.
But combining the two problems above ( 1) firewalld doesn't do
anything useful when you use it as a proxy to add/remove iptables
rules, 2) firewalld often insists on logging lots of
annoying/misleading/useless "error" messages when you use it as a
proxy to remove iptables rules that don't already exist), leads to a
solution - simply stop using firewalld to add and remove iptables
rules. Instead, exec iptables/ip6tables/ebtables directly in the same
way we do when firewalld isn't active.
We still need to keep track of whether or not firewalld is active, as
there are some things that must be done, e.g. we need to add some
actual firewalld rules in the firewalld "libvirt" zone, and we need to
take notice when firewalld restarts, so that we can reload all our
rules.
This patch doesn't remove the infrastructure that allows having
different firewall backends that perform their functions in different
ways, as that will very possibly come in handy in the future when we
want to have an nftables direct backend, and possibly a "pure"
firewalld backend (now that firewalld supports more complex rules, and
can add those rules to the FORWARD and OUTPUT chains). Instead, it
just changes the action when the selected backend is "firewalld" so
that it adds rules directly rather than through firewalld, while
leaving as much of the existing code intact as possible.
In order for tests to still pass, virfirewalltest also had to be
modified to behave in a different way (i.e. by capturing the generated
commandline as it does for the DIRECT backend, rather than capturing
dbus messages using a mocked dbus API).

When it is starting up, firewalld will delete all existing iptables
rules and chains before adding its own rules. If libvirtd were to try
to directly add iptables rules during the time before firewalld has
finished initializing, firewalld would end up deleting the rules that
libvirtd has just added.
Currently this isn't a problem, since libvirtd only adds iptables
rules via the firewalld "passthrough command" API, and so firewalld is
able to properly serialize everything. However, we will soon be
changing libvirtd to add its iptables and ebtables rules by directly
calling iptables/ebtables rather than via firewalld, thus removing the
serialization of libvirtd adding rules vs. firewalld deleting rules.
This will especially apparent (if we don't fix it in advance, as this
patch does) when libvirtd is responding to the dbus NameOwnerChanged
event, which is used to learn when firewalld has been restarted. In
that case, dbus sends the event before firewalld has been able to
complete its initialization, so when libvirt responds to the event by
adding back its iptables rules (with direct calls to
/usr/bin/iptables), some of those rules are added before firewalld has
a chance to do its "remove everything" startup protocol. The usual
result of this is that libvirt will successfully add its private
chains (e.g. LIBVIRT_INP, etc), but then fail when it tries to add a
rule jumping to one of those chains (because in the interim, firewalld
has deleted the new chains).
The solution is for libvirt to preface it's direct calling to iptables
with a iptables command sent via firewalld's passthrough command
API. Since commands sent to firewalld are completed synchronously, and
since firewalld won't service them until it has completed its own
initialization, this will assure that by the time libvirt starts
calling iptables to add rules, that firewalld will not be following up
by deleting any of those rules.
To minimize the amount of extra overhead, we request the simplest
iptables command possible: "iptables -V" (and aside from logging a
debug message, we ignore the result, for good measure).
(This patch is being done *before* the patch that switches to calling
iptables directly, so that everything will function properly with any
fractional part of the series applied).

iptables and ip6tables have had a "-w" commandline option to grab a
systemwide lock that prevents two iptables invocations from modifying
the iptables chains since 2013 (upstream commit 93587a04 in
iptables-1.4.20). Similarly, ebtables has had a "--concurrent"
commandline option for the same purpose since 2011 (in the upstream
ebtables commit f9b4bcb93, which was present in ebtables-2.0.10.4).
Libvirt added code to conditionally use the commandline option for
iptables/ip6tables in upstream commit ba95426d6f (libvirt-1.2.0,
November 2013), and for ebtables in upstream commit dc33e6e4a5
(libvirt-1.2.11, November 2014) (the latter actually *re*-added the
locking for iptables/ip6tables, as it had accidentally been removed
during a refactor of firewall code in the interim).
I say "conditionally" because a check was made during firewall module
initialization that tried executing a test command with the
-w/--concurrent option, and only continued using it for actual
commands if that test command completed successfully. At the time the
code was added this was a reasonable thing to do, as it had been less
than a year since introduction of -w to iptables, so many distros
supported by libvirt were still using iptables (and possibly even
ebtables) versions too old to have the new commandline options.
It is now 2020, and as far as I can discern from repology.org (and
manually examining a RHEL7.9 system), every version of every distro
that is supported by libvirt now uses new enough versions of both
iptables and ebtables that they all have support for -w/--concurrent.
That means we can finally remove the conditional code and simply
always use them.

All the unit tests that use iptables/ip6tables/ebtables have been
written to omit the locking/exclusive use primitive on the generated
commandlines. Even though none of the tests actually execute those
commands (and so it doesn't matter for purposes of the test whether or
not the commands support these options), it still made sense when some
systems had these locking options and some didn't.
We are now at a point where every supported Linux distro has supported
the locking options on these commands for quite a long time, and are
going to make their use non-optional. As a first step, this patch uses
the virFirewallSetLockOverride() function, which is called at the
beginning of all firewall-related tests, to set all the bools
controlling whether or not the locking options are used to true. This
means that all the test cases must be updated to include the proper
locking option in their commandlines.
The change to make actual execs of the commands unconditionally use
the locking option will be in an upcoming patch - this one affects
only the unit tests.

In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.
In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.
With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to find the
author of a particular bit of code.
This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.
The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

The virDBusMethodCall method has a DBusError as one of its
parameters. If the caller wants to pass a non-NULL value
for this, it immediately makes the calling code require
DBus at build time. This has led to breakage of non-DBus
builds several times. It is desirable that only the virdbus.c
file should need WITH_DBUS conditionals, so we must ideally
remove the DBusError parameter from the method.
We can't simply raise a libvirt error, since the whole point
of this parameter is to give the callers a way to check if
the error is one they want to ignore, without having the logs
polluted with an error message. So, we add a virErrorPtr
parameter which the caller can then either ignore or raise
using the new virReportErrorObject method.
This new method is distinct from virSetError in that it

util: use -w flag when calling iptables
This only ever had effect with the virtual network driver,
as it was not wired up into the nwfilter driver. Unfortunately
in the firewall refactoring the use of the -w flag was
accidentally lost.
This patch introduces it to the virfirewall.c module so that
both the virtual network and nwfilter drivers will be using
it. It also ensures that the equivalent --concurrent flag
to ebtables is used.
The network and nwfilter drivers both have a need to update
firewall rules. The currently share no code for interacting
with iptables / firewalld. The nwfilter driver is fairly
tied to the concept of creating shell scripts to execute
which makes it very hard to port to talk to firewalld via
DBus APIs.
This patch introduces a virFirewallPtr object which is able
to represent a complete sequence of rule changes, with the
ability to have multiple transactional checkpoints with
rollbacks. By formally separating the definition of the rules
to be applied from the mechanism used to apply them, it is
also possible to write a firewall engine that uses firewalld
DBus APIs natively instead of via the slow firewalld-cmd.
