I have a new test pkg: This pkg keeps the same behavior for 'iptables'
# Hold the lock: flock /run/xtables.lock sleep 36000 # It holds and wait until flock() finishes or get killed, and then get executed. iptables -L # With 'wait' option, it waits until the wait time is ended: time iptables -L -w 3 Another app is currently holding the xtables lock. Stopped waiting after 3s. real 0m3.006s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.001s --------------- # Hold the lock: flock /run/xtables.lock sleep 36000 # cat /etc/rules.v4 | iptables-restore -c -w 5 Another app is currently holding the xtables lock. Perhaps you want to use the -w option? real 0m5.009s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.001s The 'wait' option instruction is respected. The message may be confusing as it is suggesting to use '-w' even if it was used. This is the progress I have made so far. - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iptables in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791958 Title: iptables-restore is missing -w option Status in iptables package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For CRIU we need to have iptables version 1.6.2 which includes the '-w' option in iptables-restore. This is a request to update iptables to 1.6.2 in 18.10 and if possible backport the necessary changes to 18.04. The CRIU project gets right now many bug reports (mostly in the combination LXD + CRIU) due to the missing '-w' option in iptables- restore. Especially as 18.04 will be around for some time it would be good to have iptables-restore available with '-w'. This is one example bug report: https://github.com/checkpoint- restore/criu/issues/551 But not only CRIU would benefit from this change. It seems also problematic with Kubernetes: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60978 So if possible, please update iptables to 1.6.2 (or backport changes) to support -w in iptables-restore.
