When trying to disable netfilter in the kernel and starting up Cilium with
the below options, it fails as follows:
kernel# cat .config | grep NETFILTER
# CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set
# ./daemon/cilium-agent --enable-ipv4=true --enable-ipv6=false \
--bpf-lb-algorithm=maglev --bpf-lb-maglev-table-size=2039 \
--bpf-lb-mode=dsr --bpf-lb-acceleration=native --devices=enp5s0 \
--bpf-lb-dsr-dispatch=ipip --disable-envoy-version-check=true \
--k8s-kubeconfig-path=$HOME/.kube/config \
--kube-proxy-replacement=true --routing-mode=native \
--enable-ipv4-masquerade=false --ipam=cluster-pool \
--enable-ipip-termination --install-iptables-rules=false \
--enable-l7-proxy=false
[...]

The device controller itself doesn't need anything netfilter related, thus
fix up the handle.

ah nice, we're slowly stripping this down to the minimum: Should we backport as well? |
Yes, that would be good indeed. |
