RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.22.0-2.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Resetting the `firewall` RHEL System Role configuration now requires minimal downtime Previously, when you reset the `firewall` role configuration by using the `previous: replaced` variable, the `firewalld` service restarted. Restarting adds downtime and prolongs the period of an open connection in which `firewalld` does not block traffic from active connections. With this enhancement, the `firewalld` service completes the configuration reset by reloading instead of restarting. Reloading minimizes the downtime and reduces the opportunity to bypass firewall rules. As a result, using the `previous: replaced` variable to reset the `firewall` role configuration now requires minimal downtime.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-07-18 19:36:11 UTC
Enhancement:
Make resetting to defaults reload instead of restart firewalld

Reason:
Reloading in firewalld should successfully complete the configuration reset, restarting adds downtime

Result:
Minimal downtime when using previous: replaced

Addresses an issue brought up in https://github.com/linux-system-roles/firewall/issues/140 , where due to the restart on resetting to defaults, the feature may not be suitable for production environments.
