kswapd0 maxing CPU

**Mazin** · November 5th, 2009

Since I upgraded to karmic, I've found that kswapd0 likes to constantly take up 100% (out of 400%) CPU. Needless to say, this shouldn't be happening even when I'm doing nothing, and I can't figure out how to fix it besides rebooting. I think it might appear only after I've suspended my computer.

Anybody else having the same problem??

Code:

Yes, I'm having the exact same problem. Very frustrating to have to reboot just to get rid of it when working on many different things. This happened once before, a year or two ago, but an updated kernel fixed things. Looks like there is a regression.

I'm having what appears to be the same problem.
I, also, have no swap space.
Just started happening today but have been using Karmic for over 2 weeks.
