Laine Stump 2f82fe467f network: add private chains only if there are networks adding iptables rules
Juan Quintela noticed that when he restarted libvirt he was getting
extra iptables rules added by libvirt even though he didn't have any
libvirt networks that used iptables rules. It turns out this also
happens if the firewalld service is restarted. The extra rules are
just the private chains, and they're sometimes being added
unnecessarily because they are added separately in a global
networkPreReloadFirewallRules() that does the init if there are any
active networks, regardless of whether or not any of those networks
will actually add rules to the host firewall.

The fix is to change the check for "any active networks" to instead
check for "any active networks that add firewall rules".

(NB: although the timing seems suspicious, this isn't a new regression
caused by the recently pushed f5418b427 (which forces recreation of
private chains when firewalld is restarted); it was an existing bug
since iptables rules were first put into private chains, even after
commit c6cbe18771 delayed creation of the private chains. The
implication is that any downstream based on v5.1.0 or later that cares
about these extraneous (but harmless) private chains would want to
backport this patch (along with the other two if they aren't already
there))

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
