why the count nr_file_pages is not equal to nr_inactive_file + nr_active_file ?

I find the count nr_file_pages is not equal to nr_inactive_file + nr_active_file.
There are 8 cpus, 2 zones in my system.

I think may be the pagevec trigger the problem, but PAGEVEC_SIZE is only 14.
Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks,
