The bottomline is that /proc/meminfo is one of many global resource state

resources.  It never has.  It's very simple for another thread to consume
a large amount of memory as soon as your read() of /proc/meminfo completes
and then that information is completely bogus.

Why you need to discuss this here ? We know all information are snapshot.


MemTotal is usually assumed to be static from /proc/meminfo and could now
change radically without notification to the application.

Hmm....maybe need to mount cgroup in the container (again) and get an access
to cgroup
hierarchy and find the cgroup it belongs to......if it's allowed.

An application should always know the cgroup that its attached to and be
able to read its state using the command that I gave earlier.

No. you don't need why userland folks want namespaces. Even though you don't
need namespaces. It doesn't good reason to refuse another use case.
