hm, drat, I was suspecting dependency issues here, but a test build
said it was OK.

Actually, I was expecting this patch series to depend on the linux-next
cgroup2 changes, but that doesn't appear to be the case.  *should* this
series be staged after the cgroup2 code?

Regarding this particular series: yes, I think we can live with a
bisection hole for !CONFIG_INET && CONFIG_MEMCG users.  But I'm not
sure why we're discussing bisection issues, because Arnd's build
failure occurs with everything applied?

This sort of thing happens quite rarely.
