The hardware is a Kunpeng 920 machine (ARM architecture), and the operating system is based on the 6.6 LTS version with kernel version 6.6.

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: <snip> commit 38f6b9af04c4b79f81b3c2a0f76d1de94b78d7bc Author: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <[email protected]> Date: Tue Jan 2 19:46:23 2024 +0100 mm: vmalloc: add va_alloc() helper Patch series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention", v3. 1. Motivation ... <snip> 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.
