The result of the LTP test is:
TEST 4: MEMORY CONTROLLER TESTING
RUNNING SETUP.....
WARN:/dev/memctl already exist..overwriting
Cleanup called
TEST STARTED: Please avoid using system while this test executes
memory usage from memory.usage_in_bytes= 62955520
memory usage from memory.stat= 62955520
TINFO Memory Resource Controller: stat check test passes first run
Test continues to run the second step.
memory usage from memory.usage_in_bytes= 78643200
memory usage from memory.stat=78643200
TPASS Memory Resource Controller: stat check test PASSED
Memory Resource Controller test executed successfully.
Cleanup called

The attached simple test case result is:
# mkdir /dev/memctl; mount -t cgroup -omemory cgroup /dev/memctl; cd /dev/memctl
# mkdir group_1; cd group_1; echo 100M > memory.limit_in_bytes
# cat memory.{usage_in_bytes,stat}

[start the test case, add its pid to the group and let it fault in]

# cat memory.{usage_in_bytes,stat}
4096
cache 0
rss 4096

[let it finish]
# cat memory.{usage_in_bytes,stat}
