[PATCH v2] mm/page_alloc: Add lockdep assertion for pageblock type change
From: Brendan Jackman
Date: Mon Mar 03 2025 - 07:14:22 EST
Since the migratetype hygiene patches [0], the locking here is
a bit more formalised.
For other stuff, it's pretty obvious that it would be protected by the
zone lock. But it didn't seem totally self-evident that it should
protect the pageblock type. So it seems particularly helpful to have it
written in the code.

Note Vlastimil Acked the first version, I did not carry his ack since
I've changed the diff. Not sure if I'm being overly pedantic there?
Changes in v2:
- Fixed missing in_mem_hotplug() setup for !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
- Expanded commit message to include a bit more rationale
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250227-pageblock-lockdep-v1-1-3701efb331bb@xxxxxxxxxx
