We have implemented host-guest communication based on the TUN device

It can be observed that most of the overhead is concentrated in the
find_vmap_area function.
I see. Yes, it is pretty contented, since you run the v6.6 kernel. There
was a work that tends to improve it to mitigate a vmap lock contention.
See it here: https://lwn.net/Articles/956590/
The work was taken in the v6.9 kernel:

Could you please try the v6.9 kernel on your setup?
How to solve it, probably, it can be back-ported to the v6.6 kernel.
All the vmalloc-related optimizations have already been merged into 6.6,
including the set of optimization patches you suggested. Thank you very
much for your input.
Thanks!
