Bug description:
As per bug 721896 and various others:
I'm on an AWS t2.micro instance (Xeon E5-2670, 991MiB of memory).
Occasionally (about once a day), kswapd0 falls into a busy loop and
spins on 100% CPU usage indefinitely. This can be provoked by
copying/writing large files (e.g. dding a 256MB file), but it happens
occasionally otherwise. System memory usage (not including
buffers/caches) currently sits at 36%, which is typical[1]. Initially
I had no swap space configured; I've since tried enabling a 256MB swap
file, but the problem continues to occur and no swap space is used.
The system can be recovered with `echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`.
Happy to provide further information/take further debugging actions.
