Hi, Greg!

This patch is a part of the following patchset:
7aaf77272358 mm: don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable in /proc/vmstat
d79f7aa496fc mm: treat indirectly reclaimable memory as free in overcommit logic
f1782c9bc547 dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory
034ebf65c3c2 mm: treat indirectly reclaimable memory as available in MemAvailable
eb59254608bc mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES

It should be backported as a whole. It applies cleanly on 4.16-stable,
and with a minor trivial adjustment to 4.14-stable.

Thank you!

Roman
