Also, the memory accounting is done at different parts in
the socket code paths for stream vs. datagram.  This is why
everything is inconsistent, and, a mess.

Could you tell me more detailed information?

I think the core thing is that TCP and INET protocols call into
the memory accounting internally, either inside their own code
paths or with inet_*() helpers.

This is versus what we really want is everything happening via generic
sk_foo() helpers.

If that's what's happening already, great, just consolidate the
datagram vs. stream stuff and it should be good.

Thank you for the explanation.

I'll do my best.

Hideo
