Hi Daniel,
Apologies for the long delay, I sort of lost track of this bug report.
I have tried to reproduce this on a fresh Debian Stretch install (inside
of a Qemu VM guest). I installed/configured shorewall and confirmed
that there were iptables rules that had been made active. Then I did an
rmmod on virtio_net, checked and saw that the rules were still active,
then did a modprobe on virtio_net and again checked and found the rules
still active.
At this point I believe that the bug you encountered is either a result
of a specific bug in the r8169 driver, or some other kernel bug. I
doubt that it is a Shorewall bug, as Shorewall is not an active service,
so it would not have a way to monitor the removal of the iptables rules.
This, along with the age of your original bug report causes me to think
that it should be closed. However, before I do that I wanted to give
you the opportunity to comment or provide additional information that
might allow reproducing the bug.
Regards,
-Roberto
