[Backport 1.29] fix: ensure nf_conntrack module loaded for kubelite. - #4726
Merged
Conversation
This patch ensures that the `nf_conntrack` kernel module is loaded before `kubelite` is started as the ProxyServer needs to read some conntrack module-related params from procfs. Previously, although the it would always crashed if the module wasn't loaded, this wasn't that common of an occurrence in practice as there are quite a few ways `nf_conntrack` gets loaded transparently: * Cilium [automatically loads `iptable_nat`](https://github.com/cilium/cilium/blob/63cd391f93b4e2c865268241d384504348672042/pkg/datapath/iptables/iptables.go#L367-L368) after a small startup delay, whose dependency tree includes `nf_conntrack` * starting firewalld/ufw/most other firewall services * setting iptables/nftables rules which imply session tracking By explicitly loading `nf_conntrack` before starting `kubelite`, it should ensure the procfs values ther ProxyServer reads are always present on startup.
