Bug Description

Lucid SRU Justification:

Impact: Multicast routing was enabled for sparc in Hardy as an SRU. Unfortunately the changes doesn't appear to have been pulled forward into Lucid. Enable CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y for sparc in Lucid.

Fix: Enable the following kernel config options for sparc:

CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y

Testcase: Install and run a sparc Lucid kernel and confirm that multicast routing is not supported (including PIM1 and PIM2). Install the corresponding patched Lucid kernel, reboot, and confirm multicast routing is now supported.

=====

Hardy SRU Justification:

Impact: In Hardy, multicast routing is not supported on ia64, hppa, and sparc

Fix: Enable the following kernel config options for ia64, hppa, and sparc :

CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y (default is not set)
CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V1=y
CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V2=y

Testcase: Install and run a ia64, hppa, or sparc Hardy kernel and confirm that multicast routing is not supported (including PIM1 and PIM2). Install the corresponding patched Hardy kernel, reboot, and confirm multicast routing is now supported.

=====

Hi guys,

I am running pure hardy LTS (latest version) on sparc64 and sparc64-smp on my different firewalls/gateways.

In recent investigations I just found out that multicast routing support (including PIM1 and PIM2) are not enabled in the hardy kernel.

I have just rebuilt my kernels for testing and it works just fine.

could you please update linux-2.6.24/debian/config/sparc/config:

CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y (default is not set)
CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V1=y
CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V2=y

Thanks
Fabio

Hrm, in Lucid it seems CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is still not enabled for sparc. I'll send a patch to the Ubuntu kernel-team mailing list for consideration as a Lucid SRU. Thanks.
