Thank you for your suggestion.

However, binding the statistics to the memory.reclaim writers may not be 
suitable for our scenario. The userspace proactive memory reclaimer 
triggers proactive memory reclaim on different memory cgroups, and all 
memory reclaim statistics would be tied to this userspace proactive 
memory reclaim process. This does not distinguish the proactive memory 
reclaim status of different cgroups.
