[25.0 backport] Remove generated MAC addresses on restart.#47171
Conversation
The MAC address of a running container was stored in the same place as the configured address for a container. When starting a stopped container, a generated address was treated as a configured address. If that generated address (based on an IPAM-assigned IP address) had been reused, the containers ended up with duplicate MAC addresses. So, remember whether the MAC address was explicitly configured, and clear it if not.

Since #45905 - the MAC address of a running container is stored in the same place as the configured address for a container.
So, when starting a stopped container, a generated address was treated as a configured address. If that generated address (based on an IPAM-assigned IP address) had been reused, the containers ended up with duplicate MAC addresses.
- How I did it
Remember whether the MAC address was explicitly configured, and clear it if not.
A similar approach is used for IPAM data (flag
IPAMOperational). The plan is to refactor, to separate configured and operational state.- How to verify it
New integration test.
- Description for the changelog
Ensure that a MAC address based on a container's IP address is re-generated when the container is stopped and restarted, in case the generated IP/MAC addresses have been reused.
