Subject: [PATCH pve-firewall v3 04/16] api: ipset: add option to handle dangling references on delete
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:42:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925094230.844917-5-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925094230.844917-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
Deleting an ipset referenced by rules or security groups leaves dangling
references, which the firewall fails to parse and drops.
Add a 'dangling-references' option to the delete endpoint, to either
'disable' the referencing rules or 'drop' them along with the ipset. The
default, 'keep', leaves them as they are. For cluster ipsets, this also
covers all downstream configs (host, guest and vnet).
