New Revision: 308174
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/308174

Log:
  Move and revise a comment about the relation between the object's paging-
  in-progress count and the vnode.  Prior to r188331, we always acquired
  the vnode lock before incrementing the object's paging-in-progress count.
  Now, we increment it before attempting to acquire the vnode lock with
  LK_NOWAIT, but we never sleep acquiring the vnode lock while we have the
  count incremented.
