[PATCH] mm: vmscan: consistent update to pgrefill
The vmstat pgrefill is useful together with pgscan and pgsteal stats to measure the reclaim efficiency. However vmstat's pgrefill is not updated consistently at system level. It gets updated for both global and memcg reclaim however pgscan and pgsteal are updated for only global reclaim. So, update pgrefill only for global reclaim. If someone is interested in the stats representing both system level as well as memcg level reclaim, then consult the root memcg's memory.stat instead of /proc/vmstat.
