BPF CI couldn't do its job because of a merge conflict.
CI only tries to apply the whole series.
But I tested the patch 1 manually.
Everything is green on x86-64 and the patch looks good.

Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...nel.org>

Please send the set during the merge window.
If not we can take just this patch,
since the series from Viktor Malik would need this patch too.
