                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

These stub functions appear to have syntax issues that would prevent
compilation when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is disabled:

1. bpf_memcg_get_high_delay() is missing a semicolon after "return 0"
2. bpf_memcg_below_low() is missing the "bool" return type
3. bpf_memcg_below_min() is missing the "bool" return type

Should these be:

  static inline unsigned long
  bpf_memcg_get_high_delay(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) { return 0; }
  static inline bool bpf_memcg_below_low(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) { return false; }
  static inline bool bpf_memcg_below_min(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) { return false; }

                                         ^^^^^

When ops is non-NULL, this code checks and writes to memcg->bpf_ops, but
should it be using iter->bpf_ops instead? The else branch at the bottom
correctly uses iter. As written, when called from bpf_memcg_ops_unreg()
with a non-NULL ops argument, this only clears the root cgroup's bpf_ops
pointer while leaving all descendant cgroups with stale pointers to the
ops structure that will be freed after synchronize_srcu().

+
+	err2 = register_bpf_struct_ops(&bpf_memcg_bpf_ops, memcg_bpf_ops);
+	if (err)
            ^^^

The condition here checks err but prints err2. Should this be "if (err2)"
to log when the struct_ops registration fails?
+		pr_warn("error while registering memcontrol bpf ops: %d", err2);
+
+	return err ? err : err2;
+}
+late_initcall(bpf_memcontrol_init);
Note: The clean_memcg_bpf_ops() issue appears to be addressed in a later
commit in this series (90eaa9cd0346 "mm/bpf: Add BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE
support for memcg_bpf_ops") which removes and rewrites the function
entirely. However, the syntax errors in the stubs and the error check
typo in bpf_memcontrol_init() do not appear to be fixed in the series.
