I believe it is not relevant. They are discussing problem of memory allocation in general, that behaviour did not change much in recent kernels. But what we are discussing is a regression of using swap in kernels >= 4.10 (or >= 4.11?). In that thread topic starter suggests to swapoff, but what we are discussing is wise a versa not using an enabled swap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1833281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
