Since the LRU lock is already acquired when moving an obj between LRUs, we can use it to protect pin_count and madv, without any significant change in locking (ie. it just expands the scope of the lock by a hand- ful of instructions). This prepares the way to decrement the pin_count in the job_run() path without needing to hold the obj lock, to avoid a potential deadlock (or rather stall) caused by the fence-signaling path (job_run()) blocking on shrinker/reclaim. (Only a stall because the wait for fence signaling wait_for_idle() is not infinite.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
