Do you have any data on materialization of this hope?

IIUC, the stock is useful for batched accounting to page_counter but it
doesn't represent real pages. I.e. your change may reduce the
page_counter value but it would not release any pages. Or have I missed
a way how it helps with the reclaim?

Thanks,
