Memory reclaimer want to know how much pages was reclaimed during shrinking slabs.
Currently there is special struct reclaim_state with single counter and pointer from
task-struct. Let's store counter direcly on task struct and account freed pages
unconditionally. This will reduce stack usage and simplify code in reclaimer and slab.
Logic in do_try_to_free_pages() is slightly changed, but this is ok.
Nobody calls shrink_slab() explicitly before do_try_to_free_pages(),
Except for drop_slab() and shake_page()....
Indeed, but they do not care about accounting reclaimed pages and
they do not call do_try_to_free_pages() after all.
Cheers,
