I'd suggest updating also the header of the test for clarity and then
exempt the Child 2 ('E') conditionally from comparisons, something like:

Sorry for the late reply. I think it is a good idea to update the header as well. This function is actually used by both test_memcg_low and test_memcg.min. So I will use low/min instead.
