The suspect part is really:

Shakeel, networking has a per-cpu cache, of +/- 1MB.

Even with asymmetric alloc/free, this would mean that a 100Gbit NIC
would require something like 25,000
operations on the shared cache line per second.

Hardly an issue I think.

memcg does not seem to have an equivalent strategy ?
