Indeed! try_charge + get_mem_cgroup_from_mm which I would expect to be
the biggest consumers here are below 10% of the mem_cgroup_try_charge.
Other than that the function doesn't do much else than some flags
queries and css_put...

Do you have the full trace? Sorry for a stupid question but do inlines
from other header files get accounted to memcontrol.c?
