This patch addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760442 When a network has any forward type other than route, nat or none, the network configuration should be done completely external to libvirt - libvirt only uses these types to allow configuring guests in a manner that isn't tied to a specific host (all the host-specific information, in particular interface names, port profile data, and bandwidth configuration is in the network definition, and the guest configuration only references it). Due to a bug in the bridge network driver, libvirt was adding iptables rules for networks with forward type='bridge' etc. any time libvirtd was restarted while one of these networks was active. This patch eliminates that error by only "reloading" iptables rules if forward type is route, nat, or none.
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.
