Thanks. AI review flagged a few potential issues.

Please take a look - I'm interested in learning how may of these you
feel are worth addressing.
The sysconf retval one is real, pretty minor.
I'd be inclined to ignore the unchecked-malloc-return one. It's
userspace, it's selftests. If a malloc() fails then gee, fix your
machine and run it again.
Plese understand that I'm serious trying to slow things down now
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]).
Maybe we can weasel out of that for selftests but I'd rather not.
That means post-7.1-r1 for this patchset, so please plan to resend at
that time.
If memcg maintainers decide that this material should target the
upcoming merge window then OK,
