Ohh, I probably wasn't clear enough. I didn't suggest cumulative
numbers. Only per group. So it would be something like:
for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(mi, memcg) {
printk("Memory cgroup stats for %s", memcg_name);
for (i = 0; i< MEM_CGROUP_STAT_NSTATS; i++) {
if (i == MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAP&& !do_swap_account)
continue;
printk(KERN_CONT "%s:%lldKB ", mem_cgroup_stat_names[i],
K(mem_cgroup_read_stat(mi, i)));
}
for (i = 0; i< NR_LRU_LISTS; i++)
printk(KERN_CONT "%s:%lluKB ", mem_cgroup_lru_names[i],
K(mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mi, BIT(i))));
printk(KERN_CONT"\n");
}

NUMA stats are basically per node - per zone LRU data and that the
for(NR_LRU_LISTS) can be easily extended to cover that.
