The following filter transition from a filter allowing incoming TCP connections
<rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='401'>
<tcp/>
</rule>
<rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'>
<tcp/>
</rule>
to one that does not allow them
<rule action='drop' direction='in' priority='401'>
<tcp/>
</rule>
<rule action='accept' direction='out' priority='500'>
<tcp/>
</rule>
did previously not cut off existing (ssh) connections but only prevented newly initiated ones. The attached patch allows to cut off existing connections as well, thus enforcing what the filter is showing.
I had only tested with a configuration where the physical interface is connected to the bridge where the filters are applied. This patch now also solves a filtering problem where the physical interface is not connected to the bridge, but the bridge is given an IP address and the host routes between bridge and physical interface. Here the filters drop non-allowed traffic on the outgoing side on the host.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
