[Bug 1532480] Re: kswapd0 consumes 100% CPU

 

I've recreated an instance from scratch with ami-c4140aa8.
Issue still happens, however less frequently - it happened 3 times during last week.

I've proceeded with latest kernell update.
Installed 4.4.0-040400. 

Will follow on results below.

Title:
  kswapd0 consumes 100% CPU

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.

  Could be related to #721896
