target = reclaimable - stall_backoff * (1 + target/MAX_STALL_BACKOFF);
= reclaimable - stall_backoff - stall_backoff * (target/MAX_STALL_BACKOFF);

then the first stall_backoff looks unreasonable.
I guess you mean
target = reclaimable - target * (stall_backoff/MAX_STALL_BACKOFF);
= reclaimable - stall_back * (target/MAX_STALL_BACKOFF);

Looks cleanup of zones_reclaimable left.
