[PATCH] mm: don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable in /proc/vmstat

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Wed Apr 25 2018 - 15:16:32 EST


Don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable in /proc/vmstat,
because there is no need in exporting this vm counter
to the userspace, and some changes are expected
in reclaimable object accounting, which can alter
this counter.
