The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by commit
eb59254608bc ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with the goal of
accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be allocated via a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via kmalloc() with
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user is converted.
The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations
(i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it, and:
- change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page
allocations should be able to use kmalloc
- rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE
- expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can
again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters
