 If you want to know more exact memory usage, you should use RSS+CACHE(+SWAP)
 value in memory.stat(see 5.2).

+5.6 numa_stat
+
+This is similar to numa_maps but per-memcg basis. This is useful to add visibility
+of numa locality information in memcg since the pages are allowed to be allocated
+at any physical node. One of the usecase is evaluating application performance by
+combining this information with the cpu allocation to the application.
+
+We export "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable" pages per-node for each memcg.
+The format ouput of the memory.numa_stat:
+
+total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
+file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
+anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
+unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
+
+And we have total = file + anon + unevictable.

Looks good
