[libvirt] [PATCH v4 1/2] util/viriptables: add/remove rules that short-circuit masquerading

Laszlo Ersek lersek at redhat.com
Wed Sep 25 10:45:25 UTC 2013


The functions
- iptablesAddForwardDontMasquerade(),
- iptablesRemoveForwardDontMasquerade
handle exceptions in the masquerading implemented in the POSTROUTING chain
of the "nat" table. Such exceptions should be added as chronologically
latest, logically top-most rules.

The bridge driver will call these functions beginning with the next patch:
some special destination IP addresses always refer to the local
subnetwork, even though they don't match any practical subnetwork's
netmask. Packets from virbrN targeting such IP addresses are never routed
outwards, but the current rules treat them as non-virbrN-destined packets
and masquerade them. This causes problems for some receivers on virbrN.

 v2->v4:
 - Rename iptables(Add|Remove)ForwardDontMasquerade to
          iptables(Add|Remove)DontMasquerade [Laine].
