[Bug 1435363] Re: KSM causing performance and instability issues

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected trusty

** Description changed:

  This seems to be a bug that has regressed, I have encountered the same
  issue as 2 other reports:
  
  LP: #1349897
  
  Running kernel: 3.13.0-46-generic
  
  This is replicated over many compute nodes (KVM) running OpenStack.
  The workaround is to disable KSM:
  
  echo 2 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
  
  This fixes the issue temporarily.
