Description Pablo Alonso Rodriguez 2021-03-23 17:23:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

When applying iptables rules for an egress IP, sometimes the following error messages are shown and the rules are not applied


March 22nd 2021, 19:00:00.335	E0322 19:00:00.335303    5323 egressip.go:120] Error assigning Egress IP "10.x.x.x": could not add egress IP iptables rule: error appending rule: exit status 4: iptables: Resource temporarily unavailable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.11.380

How reproducible:

Only in customer environment

Steps to Reproduce:

Customer reproduces it by restarting node or docker, but it might be reproducible by other means.

Actual results:

iptables rules for egress IPs not added, although OVS flows and other things are added.

Expected results:

iptables rules added as well

Additional info:

If I try to acquire a lock on xtables manually and then release it, I cannot reproduce this issue, because the iptables invocations from sdn are done with -w, so it just waits until I release the lock.
