[Bug 1389787] Re: 3.11 memory consumption leads to HANG (not sure if 3.13 suffers from this).

 

Rafael David Tinoco, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better. The Saucy enablement kernel has been EoL since August
2014 as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack .

While it appears you have a thorough analysis of the root cause, your
best bet would be to upgrade these machines to the Trusty enablement
kernel.

Would that work for you?
