[New-bugs-announce] [issue20257] test_socket fails if using tipc module and SELinux enabled

[Vajrasky Kok]

New submission from Vajrasky Kok:

Enable SELinux (by default it is already enabled). Then load tipc module.

# modprobe tipc

Then using whatever account, execute Lib/test/test_socket.py. You'll get:
FAILED (errors=1, skipped=4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 1740, in <module>
    test_main()
  File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 1736, in test_main
    test_support.run_unittest(*tests)

    raise TestFailed(err)
test.test_support.TestFailed: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 1705, in testStream
    msg = self.conn.recv(1024)
error: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Attached the patch to skip the test if we don't have sufficient permission to execute the test.
