I also think about this. But we did not pass the `struct page` parameter to
the sock accounting memcg API. So we did not know the NUMA node
which allocated the socket buffer memory and cannot do node-level
statistics. In addition, there is another problem. If the user sends a 4096-byte
message, we only charge one page to the memcg but the system allocates 8
pages. So if we reuse the same call sites for the system-wide accounting,
the statistical count we get is always smaller than the actual situation.

Yeah, only virtio-net needs an update. Because only it uses the
skb_page_frag_refill() API.
