	No, that's why I check the context as well. BOs explicitly reserved have a non NULL context while BOs trylocked for swapout have a NULL context.

When BOs have a non NULL context only when command submission and reserved by ttm_eu_re6serve_buffers  .
But for Per-VM-BO a/b/c they always are not in BO list, so they will be not reserved and have always NULL context.
So above case also can happen. Anything missing here?
