[Bug 1293147] [NEW] Laptop locks up once all memory used and encrypted swap in use

 

Public bug reported:

Present state:

KiB Mem:   3936908 total,  3737952 used,   198956 free,    12312 buffers
KiB Swap:  4194300 total,   862544 used,  3331756 free,  1215956 cached

If, for instance, more chrome tabs are opened, the pointer stutters and
eventually the laptop locks up.  Encrypted swap is 4gb in size and on an
SSD.  The UI is unusable.  The easiest recovery is to switch to a VT and
kill a process.

Swapon -s gives:

Filename				Type	Size			Used	Priority
/mnt/4096.swap                   file		4194300	862192	-1
