Hi All
From firewalld doc and my experiments , I understood that we don't
have any option to add/remove port to/from service runtime/permanent
(this can double for zone) . The only way is modifying service xml
file but it requires firewall reload (which cause the loosing run time
settings).
Is there any way to reload firewall without loosing run time
settings or is there any way to reload particular service.

There is a function in the d-bus interface:
getZoneOfInterface(s: interface) → s
that will return the current zone of the interface and you can then
add ports to that interface.
As far as I see it, the hooks get only executed when I start the
volume, right? So when I created and started the volume, but then
change the zone of the interface, we need to detect that (I guess it
would be enough to handle that on reboot) and move the ports/services
to the new zone.
Regarding Org.fedoraproject.firewalld1.config.service - I think that
would need additional tests if that is really only for the persistent
config, or if the changes are also applied in the running config.

I've had a private conversation with Christopher Blum (CCd), who
identified a major flaw with our current solution. Having firewalld
reload will cause any runtime rules that were set to be lost. This
should be avoided at all costs.
Chris suggested using firewalld dbus commands [1] which could solve
this. We have dbus commands to add/remove ports from a service
permanently. This is an alternative to updating the service xml
files.
But we don't see a method to update a service during runtime.
There are dbus commands to add/remove ports to zones during runtime.
But this is not useful as we wouldn't know which zone to apply it to.
One of the reasons we chose to use services was this.
So now we have two questions,
1. Is there a way to do a runtime modification of a firewalld service
it seems firewalld not supporting for run time service
update, but we can add and remove ports
from zone
2. If not, is there a easy way to get active zones, which have our
services enabled and add/remove ports from them.
we can get the services which are enabled in zone using
below command
firewall-cmd --zone=$zone --list-services
I have updated hook script in my patch[1] , it identify the
zones which have gluster services enabled and it add/remove the port in
zone(s) so that we can avoid
firewall reload. I have tested this script with different
test cases
