mm, vmscan: make zone_reclaimable_pages more precise zone_reclaimable_pages() is used in should_reclaim_retry() which uses it to calculate the target for the watermark check. This means that precise numbers are important for the correct decision. zone_reclaimable_pages uses zone_page_state which can contain stale data with per-cpu diffs not synced yet (the last vmstat_update might have run 1s in the past). Use zone_page_state_snapshot() in zone_reclaimable_pages() instead. None of the current callers is in a hot path where getting the precise value (which involves per-cpu iteration) would cause an unreasonable overhead.
