Yes after applying the whole set.

Also, I think I also got it to work on 5.10 by (I am little less sure
of this one though)

-  Backporting https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/commit/?id=12fa97c64dce2f3c2e6eed5dc618bb9046e40bf0
-  Backporting https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/commit/?id=74d862b682f51e45d25b95b1ecf212428a4967b0
- And, backporting this set (I initially missed
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210209194856.24269-3-alexei.starovoitov@xxxxxxxxx
where you add the
  calls and ran into issues).
