This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug. Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org. Once this bug is reported upstream, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug- reported-upstream'.

Joseph, thanks for your answer. I just tried latest upstream kernel: $ uname -sr Linux 4.19.0-041900rc6-generic And I tried to reproduce the problem and it still happens, unfortunately. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1794763 Title: High utilisation of memory freezes Ubuntu completely for a long time, with an extremely high access to the hard disk Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I observed this occasionally on Ubuntu 16.04 and very frequently on Ubuntu 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) I can reproduce it with a regular use of Chromium, Firefox or LibreOffice, by instance.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.19 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
