[PATCH v2 4/4] mm: add tracepoints for zone lock

STALE221d

From: Dmitry Ilvokhin <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-25 14:44:17
Also in: linux-cxl, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu

Revision v2 of 4 in this series.

  2. v2 current
  3. v3 [diff vs current]
  4. v4 [diff vs current] 
Add tracepoint instrumentation to zone lock acquire/release operations
via the previously introduced wrappers.

The implementation follows the mmap_lock tracepoint pattern: a
lightweight inline helper checks whether the tracepoint is enabled and
calls into an out-of-line helper when tracing is active. When
CONFIG_TRACING is disabled, helpers compile to empty inline stubs.

The fast path is unaffected when tracing is disabled.
