In the next patch, we want to reduce the lock coverage within the shrinker, and one of the dangerous walks we have is over obj->vma_list. We are only walking the obj->vma_list in order to check whether it has been permanently pinned by HW access, typically via use on the scanout. But we have a couple of other long term pins, the context objects for which we currently have to check the individual vma pin_count. If we instead mark these using obj->pin_display, we can forgo the dangerous and sometimes slow list iteration. v2: Rearrange code to try and avoid confusion from false associations due to arrangement of whitespace along with rebasing on obj->pin_global.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
