Viktor Pal, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't 
boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue 
to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. 
Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version 
specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please 
add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil 
icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  kswapd kills the whole OS by eaing up resources

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I experience that my desktop (Ubuntu 15.04) gets unresponsive maybe once a 
week.
  When this happens the whole machine gets unresponsive immediately and only 
restarting helps.
  It only turns out from the atop logs what happened after the machine was 
restarted. Atop is configured to run every 30 secs.
  It is visible from the atop logs that kswapd0 is eating up all the CPU 
resources.
  Strange thing is that this happens despite there is no swap enabled.

  This happens mostly when Virtualbox is running and only a few amount
  of memory is available.
