Title:
  kswapd pulls server down every 2 weeks.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  in 15.04 even when having plenty of RAM and swap kswpd uses lots of
  CPU and might bring the machine down to a crawl making is unable to
  access it over the network.

  I say "might", because it's only a very clear feeling that I have. I
  do not know it for sure.

  Anyway the fact is that I have two server that once every 2 week ends
  up totally unaccessible from the network. They can be pinged though.
  Logging in locally takes a long time. Rebooting them locally takes a
  long time. They have absolutely no noticeable disk IO when in this
  stalled state.
