=E2=80=8BDuring your bench load, can you display=E2=80=8B

=E2=80=8Beach queue usage of your cxl interface and post the result here ?

You can use this python script (from Alexander Chernikov):
https://github.com/ocochard/BSDRP/blob/master/BSDRP/Files/usr/local/bin/nic=
-queue-usage

Here is an example showing traffic shared between all 8 queues:
