I want to make comment more clear.

Thanks.

Could you please also help making the changelog more clear?


+		free_obj |= BIT(HANDLE_PIN_BIT);
  		record_obj(handle, free_obj);

I think record_obj() should use WRITE_ONCE() or something like that.
Otherwise the compiler is IMHO allowed to reorder this, i.e. first to assign free_obj to handle, and then add the PIN bit there.

  		unpin_tag(handle);
  		obj_free(pool, class, used_obj);
