@bcmills requested issue #52088 to be considered for backport to the next 1.18 minor release.

@gopherbot, please backport to Go 1.17 and 1.18. This is a test-only fix for an issue exposed by a builder upgrade.

@jonathan-albrecht-ibm Based on #52088 (comment) I expected to see the linux-s390x-ibm builder currently failing at https://build.golang.org/?branch=release-branch.go1.18, which this backport would fix, but it seems to be passing. Is it because the failure is non-deterministic or is there another reason? Asking to understand this better, though I expect this is fine to backport. Thanks.

@dmitshur I'm in the process of provisioning two new builders and the issue came up when testing them. I stopped the new builders as soon as I saw the failure so that's why its not currently happening.

The current builders are not triggering this issue probably because they are on an older RHEL version (8.2) and the new builders are on the latest RHEL 8.5 version. I haven't been able to track down the exactly what selinux configuration causes the difference but I don't think there is any misconfiguration of the new builders. I think I was just unlucky enough to hit another valid selinux configuration that wasn't yet covered by the expected values in the test.

The failure is definitely deterministic and to the best of my understanding not platform dependent in any way.

I argue that the same is true for hard-coded special cases.

In TestGroupCleanupUserNamespace, instead of a curated list of strings
observed in the wild we now check for a prefix, as was done for
TestGroupCleanup in CL 24670.

Updates #52088.
Fixes #52149.
