Title:
  System Freeze On Low Memory

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
