It includes that memcg's local counter as well. Aside from that, this all seems awefully redundant. How about this on top? --- From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [patch] Documentation: memcg: future proof hierarchical statistics documentation The hierarchical versions of per-memcg counters in memory.stat are all calculated the same way and are all named total_<counter>. Documenting the pattern is easier for maintenance than listing each counter twice.
