[Bug 416266] Re: Please enable multicast routing support for sparc

[Leann Ogasawara]

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.

** Description changed:

- SRU Justification:
+ 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
