Thanks so much for the update!  👌

I pinned the .55 package on my clusters and spread the news to my
clients. But this could really mess up a lot of on prem clusters where
folks upgrade selfhosted servers regularly.

Depending on which container network interface they use I guess. A lot
of them use iptables or nftables and if that doesn't work, then the
networking magic sauce in a cluster stops working. (the kubeproxy pods
if you use for instance Canal). I am surprised I haven't seen a lot more
chatter around this.  I know this impacts a lot of things, but peoples
on prem kubernetes clusters ought to be heavily impacted.

So there is an easy fix, but like me, it will take folks an hour or two
with sweaty hands to figure out that it was an apt upgrade that did
their production workloads in.

Hoping to get -58.60  into the updates pocket soon.

Title:
  iptables incompatibility

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to linux-image-6.8.0-56-generic my RKE2 based
  kubernetes cluster on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS started having some problems.
  The kubeproxy pods started crashlooping with an error that said

  "Failed to execute iptables-restore"
  err=<exit status 2: Warning: Extension MARK revision 0 not supported, missing 
kernel module?                                                                  
                                                           ip6tables-restore 
v1.8.9 (nf_tables): unknown option "--xor-mark"

  Bringing the kernel back to linux-image-6.8.0-55-generic immediately solved 
the issue.  Booting it back to linux-image-6.8.0-56-generic brought it back.
  Had to test again to be certain as there was other changes to the cluster in 
the last few hours.

  cat /proc/version_signature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-55.57-generic 6.8.12
