[ upstream commit b2c73e7 ]

When Reinitialize()-ing the datapath, transient iptables rules are set
up to avoid dropping packets while Cilium's rules are not in place.

In rare occasions, a failure to add those rules has been observed (see
issue #11276), leading to an early exit from Reinitialize() and a
failure to set up the daemon.

But those transient rules are just used to lend a hand and keep packets
going for a very small window of time: it does not actually matter much
if we fail to install them, and it should not stop the reinitializing of
the daemon. Let's simply log a warning and carry on if we fail to add
those rules.

We do the same thing for IPv4 and IPv6, with just the name of the
program changing. Then we do nearly the same thing for flushing and
deleting a chain. Let's refactor (no functional change).

[ upstream commit 052fa31 ]

When Cilium reinitialises its daemon, transient iptables rules are set
up to avoid dropping packets while the regular rules are not in place.

On rare occasions, setting up those transient rules has been found to
fail, for an unknown reason (see issue #11276). The error message states
that the "Chain already exists", even though we try to flush and remove
any leftover from previous transient rules before adding the new ones.
It sounds likely that removing the leftovers is failing, but we were not
able to understand why, because we quieten the function to avoid
spurious warnings the first time we try to remove them (since none is
existing).

It would be helpful to get more information to understand what happens
in those rare occasions where setting up transient rules fails. Let's
find a way to get more logs, without making too much noise.

We cannot warn unconditionally in remove() since we want removal in the
normal case to remain quiet. What we can do is logging when the "quiet"
flag is not passed, _or_ when the error is different from the chain
being not found, i.e. when the error is different from the one we want
to silence on start up. This means matching on the error message
returned by ip(6)tables. It looks fragile, but at least this message has
not changed since 2009, so it should be relatively stable and pretty
much the same on all supported systems. Since remove() is used for
chains other than for transient rules too, we also match on chain name
to make sure we are dealing with transient rules if ignoring the "quiet"
flag.

This additional logging could be removed once we reproduce and fix the
issue.

Alternative approaches could be:

- Uncoupling the remove() function for transient rules and regular
  rules, to avoid matching on chain name (but it sounds worse).
- Logging on failure for all rules even when the "quiet" flag is passed,
  but on "info" level instead of "warning". This would still require a
  modified version of runProg(), with also a modified version of
  CombinedOutput() in package "exec". Here I chose to limit the number
  of logs and keep the changes local.
- Listing the chain first before trying to remove it, so we only try to
  remove if it exists, but this would likely add unnecessary complexity
  and latency.

Should help with (but does not solve): #11276

[ Backporter's notes: Minor conflicts against PR #10639 and CI failure
                      log messages. ]

In an attempt to catch #11276 in CI, let's add any message related to a
failure to flush or delete the chain related to iptables transient rules
to the list of badLogMessages we want to catch.

We need to filter on the name of the chain for transient rules to avoid
false positives, which requires exporting that name.

We also need to modify the log message error, to avoid adding four
disting logs to the list (combinations for iptables/ip6tables,
flush/delete).

The backport PRs shouldn't add the label requires-janitor-review since
the review is automatically requested by the CODEOWNERS file.
