We've upgraded PVE from 7 to 8 and also the Kernel from 6.2 to 6.5.11-6-pve: since these changes, the CPU-usage of the kvm-process is much higher then before. Before the upgrade the idle process usage was ~2%, and never above ~50% now after the upgrade the idle cpu usage is at ~20% and it goes up to 150%.
When the cpu usage is high, packets get dropped and delayed: ping times are between 0.1ms and 400ms: before it was always at 0.1ms.
The vm is used as router/firewall and runs debian 12 with the default kernel (6.1.0-15-amd64).
Also iperf performance went from ~10GBit to 300Mbit. Enabling multi-queue and adding more vcpus helped a bit to increase bandwith back to ~10Gbit, but the "random" lags are still there. The vm basicly does no disk i/o, it only acts as router.
Does anyone else have this problem?
It seems packet processing is much slower after the upgrade.
