High memory usage on mysql 5.7.18

top shows that mysqld is taking up unusually high memory.

VIRT 24.757g
RES 0.014t
SHR 7228

from:

According to the following calculations (reference http://mysqltuner.com by Major Hayden), the maximum memory that could have been used by mysql is 393 MB:

maxTmpTableSize = tmp_table_size (16777216) > max_heap_table_size (16777216) ? max_heap_table_size (16777216) : tmp_table_size (16777216)
= 16777216

serverBuffers = key_buffer_size (8388608) + maxTmpTableSize (16777216) + innodb_buffer_pool_size (134217728) + innodb_log_buffer_size (16777216) + query_cache_size (1048576)
= 177209344

perThreadBuffers = read_buffer_size (131072) + read_rnd_buffer_size (262144) + sort_buffer_size (262144) + thread_stack (262144) + join_buffer_size (262144)
= 1179648

maxTotalPerThreadBuffers = perThreadBuffers * max_used_connections (54) => 1179648 * 54
= 63700992

performance_schema.memory = 171216568

maxUsedMemory = serverBuffers + maxTotalPerThreadBuffers + performance_schema.memory
= 412126904 B

~393 MB

The maximum memory that "can" be used by mysql is 613 MB:

totalPerThreadBuffers = perThreadBuffers (1179648) * max_connections (250)
= 294912000

maxPeakMemory = serverBuffers + totalPerThreadBuffers + pfMemory
= 643337912 B

~ 613 MB

But top shows that it is using much higher than both of these numbers.

Is there a way to account for all the memory used by the mysqld process? Or could there be a memory leak?
