Oh you have already shared the preliminary data.

Hmm 128 usec is actually unexpectedly high. How does the cgroup
hierarchy on your system looks like? How many cgroups have actual
workloads running? Can the network softirqs run on any cpus or smaller
set of cpus? I am assuming these softirqs are processing packets from
any or all cgroups and thus have larger cgroup update tree. I wonder if
you comment out MEMCG_SOCK stat update and still see the same holding
time.
