[Bug 1532480] [NEW] kswapd0 consumes 100% CPU

 

Public bug reported:

I'm running AWS EC2 t2.micro instance with below ubuntu version. 
ubuntu-wily-15.10-amd64-server-20151203 (ami-7d948911) 
4.2.0-23-generic

Periodically around once per day my instance consumes 100% CPU by kswapd0 kernell process.
Instance restart helps, otherwise this continues. 

I have no swap configured.
