No luck with qemu-kvm-ev, the behavior is the same. Running perf record -a -g on the baremetal shows that most of the CPU time is in _raw_spin_lock

I've tried with KSM disabled and nothing changed.
I've upgraded KVM to qemu-kvm-ev. I'm waiting to see if there are any improvements and report back.

For myself KSM is unpredictable feature. The problem is Compute, just this node
does "copy on write" , so only Compute.
My concern exactly is where would it lead to worse or better Guest behavior ?
I am not expecting complete fix. I would track via top/htop and dmesg via Cron on 1-2 hr
period.

It sounds weird, but attempt to disable KSM and see would it help or no ?

and the compute node is again at 100% CPU utilization.
