This patch introduced numa execution information, to imply the numa efficiency. By doing 'cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/CGROUP_PATH/memory.numa_stat', we see new output line heading with 'exectime', like: exectime 311900 407166 which means the tasks of this cgroup executed 311900 micro seconds on node 0, and 407166 ms on node 1. Combined with the memory node info, we can estimate the numa efficiency, for example if the node memory info is: total=206892 N0=21933 N1=185171 By monitoring the increments, if the topology keep in this way and locality is not nice, then it imply numa balancing can't help migrate the memory from node 1 to 0 which is accessing by tasks on node 0, or tasks can't migrate to node 1 for some reason, then you may consider to bind the cgroup on the cpus of node 1.
