[Brad Figg <brad.figg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during
any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all.
Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request
further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel
than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test
again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still
exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add
a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.19.0-15.15

Title:
  System Freeze On Low Memory

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  System freeze occurs when memory is almost full and there is no chance
  to kill processes. Everything is unresponsive, hdd is trashing, even
  ssh connection does not show any reaction. I set vm.swappiness = 1 to
  minimize swapping but those lock ups are still there. I think this
  could be related to disk caching. Few times I observed in iotop that
  several processes use %90+ disk I/O while memory is close to its
  limit. I increased vm.min_free_kbytes (default value was 65536) but
  not tested yet. Current disk scheduler is set to deadline.
