3.12-rcX - NFS regression - kswapd0 / kswapd1 stays using 100% CPU?

2013-10-17 Thread Helge Deller
I'm seeing a regression with current kernel git head when using NFS-mounts. Architecture in my case is parisc, although I don't think that this is relevant. At least kernel 3.10 (and I think 3.11) didn't showed that problem. The symtom is, that "top" shows high usage of either kswapd0 or kswapd1.
