We do it via `ss -m`. Is it not sufficient? And if not, why not adding it there
rather than /proc/meminfo?

You mix socket page frag with skb frag at least, not sure this is exactly
what you want, because clearly skb page frags are frequently used
by network drivers rather than sockets.

Also, which one matches this dec_sock_node_page_state()? Clearly
not skb_fill_page_desc() or __skb_frag_ref().

Thanks.
