Currently there is two types of reclaim-stat counters:
recent_scanned (pages picked from from lru),
recent_rotated (pages putted back to active lru).
Reclaimer uses ratio recent_rotated / recent_scanned
for balancing pressure between file and anon pages.

But if we pick page from lru we can either reclaim it or put it back to lru, thus:
recent_scanned == recent_rotated[inactive] + recent_rotated[active] + reclaimed
This can be called "The Law of Conservation of Memory" =)

I'm sorry....where is the count for active->incative ?

If reclaimer deactivates page it will bump recent_rotated[LRU_INACTIVE_ANON/FILE],
(if I understand your question right) recent_rotated[] now count each evictable lru independently

Hm, then

	active -> active   : recent_rotated[active]   += 1 
	active -> inactive : recent_rotated[inacitve] += 1
	inactive->inactive : recent_rotated[inactive] += 1
	inactive->active   : recent_rotated[active]   += 1 ?

Ok, it seems rotated[active] + rotated[inactive] == scan.
