This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-kvm/5.4.0-1051.53
kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and
update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the
tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the
problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to
'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Enable multicast in the "kvm" kernels

Status in linux-kvm package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux-kvm source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I work in the OpenStack Neutron project and recently I wanted to optimize our 
CI scenario jobs by using Ubuntu minimal image as guest image for some tests 
(see patch 
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/813195)
  Unfortunately it seems that there is problem with one multicast scenario test 
while using ubuntu-minimal image 
(https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/focal/release/ubuntu-20.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img).
 The problem is that VM booted from that image don't subscribes properly to the 
IGMP multicast group thus test is failing.
  All works fine when image 
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img 
is used in the same test.

  The problem is that in the minimal image kernel linux-image-kvm (vs.
  linux-image-generic in the "regular" cloud image) and that "-kvm"
  image has disabled MULTICAST:

  # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set

  
  Would it be maybe possible to enable this option in the kernel used in the 
"minimal" cloud images?
