From f2f45fb0ca0b3eb239cbc1f503c139db32374d83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Burton Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 02:37:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gh-95243: Mitigate the race condition in testSockName (GH-96173) find_unused_port() has an inherent race condition, but we can't use bind_port() as that uses .getsockname() which this test is exercising. Try binding to unused ports a few times before failing.
