* This function is used by the object/vma binding code.
*
+ * Since this function is only used to free up virtual address space it only
+ * ignores pinned vmas, and not object where the backing storage itself is
+ * pinned. Hence obj->pages_pin_count does not protect against eviction.
+ *
* To clarify: This is for freeing up virtual address space, not for freeing
* memory in e.g. the shrinker.
