Something to the effect of: /* * Ideally we would want to use the trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() helper * functions. But due to include header file issues, that is not * feasible.

not sure if it's worth mentioning in the comment, but the other
concern here is the performance impact of an extra function call,
I believe. otherwise, Joonsoo would just do:
in include/linux/page_ref.h
static inline void set_page_count(struct page *page, int v)
{
atomic_set(&page->_count, v);
__page_ref_set(page, v);
}
...
and in mm/debug_page_ref.c
void __page_ref_set(struct page *page, int v)
{
if (trace_page_ref_set_enabled())
trace_page_ref_set(page, v);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__page_ref_set);
EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL(page_ref_set);
...
