Subject: mm/page_alloc: skip debug_check_no_{obj,locks}_freed with FPI_TRYLOCK
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2026 15:26:39 +0900

When CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE is enabled,
debug_check_no_{obj,locks}_freed() functions are called.

Since both of them spin on a lock, they are not safe to be called if the
FPI_TRYLOCK flag is specified.  This leads to a lockdep splat:

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0
         ----
    lock(&obj_hash[i].lock);
    <Interrupt>
      lock(&obj_hash[i].lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

Rename free_pages_prepare() to __free_pages_prepare(), add an fpi_t
parameter, and skip those checks if FPI_TRYLOCK is set.  To keep the fpi_t
definition in mm/page_alloc.c, add a wrapper function free_pages_prepare()
that always passes FPI_NONE and use it in mm/compaction.c.
