I still do not understand the patch.

If I do not understand the patch and its changelog now in May 2023,
how will anyone understand it later
when/if a regression is investigated ?

I repeat :

Changelog is evasive, I do not see what practical problem you want to solve.

sk_has_memory_pressure() is not about memcg, simply the fact that a
proto has a non NULL memory_pressure pointer.

I suggest that you answer these questions, and send a V2 with an
updated changelog.

Again, what is the practical problem you want to solve ?
What is the behavior of the current stack that you think is a problem ?

Thanks.
