This looks confusing to me.

sk_memory_allocated() is the total amount of memory used by all
sockets for a particular "struct proto", not just for that specific
socket.

Maybe I don't understand how this socket memcg stuff works, but it
seems like you should be looking instead at how much memory is
allocated to this specific socket.

Thanks.
