I would use the most exact value, which is :

   skb->truesize += nr_frags * PAGE_SIZE;

Then, if we can spot later a regression in some stacks, adapt the
limiting parameters. I did a lot of work in GRO and TCP stack to reduce
the memory, and further changes are possible.

We really want to account memory, because we want to control how memory
is used on our machines and don't let some users use more than the
amount that was allowed to them.
