Public bug reported:

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.
