BTW, in 4.19+ the counter has been renamed and exported by the commit b29940c1abd7 ("mm: rename and change semantics of nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes"), so there is no such a problem anymore.

I do not see this patch in Linus's tree, do you?
If not, what am I supposed to do with this?
Yeah it wasn't probably clear enough, but this is stable-only patch, as upstream avoided the (then-unknown) problem in 4.19 as part of a far more intrusive series. As I've said in my previous reply to this thread, I don't think we can backport that series to stable (e.g. it introduces a set of new kmalloc caches that will suddenly appear in /proc/slabinfo) so I think this is a case for exception from the stable rules.
