Does it mean ptr_ring_produce_any() is needed in
page_pool_recycle_in_ring() too?

As it is assumed that page pool API can be called in the context with
irqs_disabled() || in_hardirq(), and force recylcling happens in the
prt_ring.

Isn't it conflit with the below patch? as the below patch assume page
pool API can not be called in the context with irqs_disabled() || in_hardirq():
[PATCH net-next] page_pool: add a lockdep check for recycling in hardirq

Or am I missing something obvious here?
