Can you send an example debugfs output to see what data are we talking
about?

Well, the problem with replacing the counter in /proc/meminfo is that it
requires all users of /proc/meminfo to adapt to the changes.
That's why it's way less painful to go an extra mile and define (hopefully)
stable user ABI up front.
Why can't you use fdinfo to show how much memory consumed by a dma-buf?
