From b6fc3cd55ea00b05a64636a65e27a4b40db07a47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: weliang1 Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 10:31:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] WIP: Migrate iptables to nftables in networking test suite MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace all iptables command references with nftables equivalents across 5 test feature files in the networking test suite. Changes: - pod.feature: Migrate u32 module matching to nftables raw payload - egress-ip.feature: Update EgressIP rule verification to use nft - ovn.feature: Convert OVN port blocking with IPv4/IPv6 support - service.feature: Update service DNAT/REDIRECT verification - sdn.feature: Rule repair, version checks, and conntrack rules Migration statistics: - 5 files updated, 108 lines changed (55+, 53-) - 8 test scenarios updated - 100% iptables references removed Technical changes: - iptables --version → nft --version - iptables-save → nft list ruleset - iptables -S -t → nft list table ip
- ip6tables support → nft family ip6 - Rule deletion now uses handle-based approach Note: Ruby step definitions still need updates for: - node nftables config checks - nftables rule removal/flush operations Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- features/networking/egress-ip.feature | 10 +++--- features/networking/ovn.feature | 11 ++++--- features/networking/pod.feature | 22 +++++++------ features/networking/sdn.feature | 45 +++++++++++++-------------- features/networking/service.feature | 20 ++++++------ 5 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/features/networking/egress-ip.feature b/features/networking/egress-ip.feature index 060621650d..2407fa8b20 100644 --- a/features/networking/egress-ip.feature +++ b/features/networking/egress-ip.feature @@ -277,7 +277,7 @@ Feature: Egress IP related features @s390x @ppc64le @heterogeneous @arm64 @amd64 @hypershift-hosted @inactive - Scenario: OCP-15473:SDN The related iptables/openflow rules will be removed once the egressIP gets removed from netnamespace + Scenario: OCP-15473:SDN The related nftables/openflow rules will be removed once the egressIP gets removed from netnamespace Given the env is using "OpenShiftSDN" networkType Given the valid egress IP is added to the node And I have a project @@ -286,9 +286,9 @@ Feature: Egress IP related features Given as admin I successfully merge patch resource "netnamespace/<%= project.name %>" with: | {"egressIPs": ["<%= cb.valid_ip %>"]} | - #Check related iptables added + #Check related nftables rules added When I run command on the "<%= node.name%>" node's sdn pod: - | bash | -c | iptables-save \| grep "<%= cb.valid_ip %>" | + | bash | -c | nft list ruleset \| grep "<%= cb.valid_ip %>" | Then the step should succeed And the output should contain: | OPENSHIFT-MASQUERADE | @@ -305,11 +305,11 @@ Feature: Egress IP related features Given as admin I successfully merge patch resource "netnamespace/<%= project.name %>" with: | {"egressIPs": null} | - # Check related iptables and openlows removed + # Check related nftables rules and openflows removed And I wait up to 30 seconds for the steps to pass: """ When I run command on the "<%= node.name%>" node's sdn pod: - | bash | -c | iptables-save \| egrep "OPENSHIFT-FIREWALL-ALLOW\|OPENSHIFT-MASQUERADE" | + | bash | -c | nft list ruleset \| egrep "OPENSHIFT-FIREWALL-ALLOW\|OPENSHIFT-MASQUERADE" | Then the step should succeed And the output should not contain: | <%= cb.valid_ip %> | diff --git a/features/networking/ovn.feature b/features/networking/ovn.feature index 40e5f5b1ca..ebd53ce5a8 100644 --- a/features/networking/ovn.feature +++ b/features/networking/ovn.feature @@ -455,8 +455,9 @@ Feature: OVN related networking scenarios When I store the ovnkube-master "south" leader pod in the clipboard Then the step should succeed - # ipv6 uses ip6tables binary - Given evaluation of `(cb.south_leader.ip.include?
