run_netsocktests from net in ubuntu_kernel_selftests failed with X-4.15

[Po-Hsu Lin]

Just like bug 1830016
This test failed with the same error on X-4.15:

Note that if you run this test with the ubuntu_kenrel_selftests suite, the error output will be just:

 selftests: run_netsocktests

I will target bionic:linux instead of xenial:linux-hwe, this way all the 4.15 derivatives will also receive the fix.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1842023

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Upstream patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/16/470

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the 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-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

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!

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Test passed with B-4.15 and X-4.15
Thanks!

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

BTW it looks like the patch for the upstream will need some more changes.
