Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm: add tracepoints for zone lock
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:22:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d2a7778aeee03abf8a11528ce8d4926ca78e9b4.1770821420.git.d@ilvokhin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770821420.git.d@ilvokhin.com>
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.
