'make check' fails on a machine with IPv6 disabled.

[trustin]

During a make check run, I see the following failures:

    io::net::tcp::test::multiple_connect_serial_ip6::green
    io::net::tcp::test::multiple_connect_serial_ip6::native
    io::net::tcp::test::read_eof_twice_ip6::green
    io::net::tcp::test::read_eof_twice_ip6::native
    io::net::tcp::test::smoke_test_ip6::green
    io::net::tcp::test::smoke_test_ip6::native
    io::net::tcp::test::socket_and_peer_name_ip6::green
    io::net::tcp::test::socket_and_peer_name_ip6::native
    io::net::tcp::test::tcp_clone_two_read::green
    io::net::tcp::test::tcp_clone_two_read::native
    io::net::tcp::test::write_close_ip6::green
    io::net::tcp::test::write_close_ip6::native
    io::net::udp::test::socket_name_ip6::green
    io::net::udp::test::socket_name_ip6::native
    io::net::udp::test::socket_smoke_test_ip6::green
    io::net::udp::test::socket_smoke_test_ip6::native
    io::net::udp::test::stream_smoke_test_ip6::green
    io::net::udp::test::stream_smoke_test_ip6::native

.. which seems obviously related with IPv6, which is disabled on my machine. Perhaps these tests could be ignored if the system has no IPv6.

(master, Arch Linux 64-bit 3.10.32-1-lts)

[alexcrichton]

Detecting whether ipv6 is enabled/disabled on a machine is very platform specific, and likely not worth it. Disabling ipv6 support these days is likely manual, so I imagine that the test failures are fairly self-evident.

The tests properly fail and don't cause any badness with other parts of the system, so they're failing properly if you have ipv6 disabled. Closing because I think that handling this isn't quite worth it and everything is working as intended.

tl;dr: ignore this; it's just to add more info so it's easier to find this issue.

Just in case someone else is searching for the text of the error(instead of ip6 or ipv6), I would like to add it here:

`Err` value: Address family not supported by protocol'

Actual output (of command time make check):

...
test rand::bench::rand_std ... ignored
test rand::bench::rand_xorshift ... ignored

I have ipv6.disable=1 on kernel cmdline and also ipv6 is disabled at compilation time of the kernel.
