-We export "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable" pages per-node for
-each memcg.  The ouput format of memory.numa_stat is:
+Each memcg's numa_stat file includes "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable"

-And we have total = file + anon + unevictable.
+The "total" count is sum of file + anon + unevictable.
