 this:
 
 Each buffer header contains a usage counter, which is incremented (up to a
-small limit value) whenever the buffer is unpinned.  (This requires only the
-buffer header spinlock, which would have to be taken anyway to decrement the
+small limit value) whenever the buffer is pinned.  (This requires only the
+buffer header spinlock, which would have to be taken anyway to increment the
 buffer reference count, so it's nearly free.)
