So you want to retain
mm-memcontrol-reign-in-the-config-space-madness.patch's removal of the
ifdef CONFIG_INET?


What I have is

Against net-drop-tcp_memcontrolc.patch:

--- a/mm/memcontrol.c~net-drop-tcp_memcontrolc-fix
+++ a/mm/memcontrol.c
@@ -4421,8 +4421,6 @@ static void mem_cgroup_css_free(struct c

}


and against mm-memcontrol-reign-in-the-config-space-madness.patch:

Producing

static void mem_cgroup_css_free(struct cgroup_subsys_state *css)
{
struct mem_cgroup *memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css);

if (cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys) && !cgroup_memory_nosocket)

memcg_free_kmem(memcg);

if (memcg->tcp_mem.active)
static_branch_dec(&memcg_sockets_enabled_key);

__mem_cgroup_free(memcg);
}

And I did s/reign/rein/;)
