So this mail is just to say that the problem had hit more than one persons. I encountered this kswapd problem yesterday after the machine ruuning for 22 hours: kswapd crazily use 99% of CPU time even if I switched to single mode. About half an hour ago, when I starting build the newly 2.2.20 kernel and opened a Mozilla session, I noticed that kswapd got crazy again: 12:48am up 1 day, 7:05, 14 users, load average: 2.38, 3.01, 2.37 76 processes: 72 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.0% user, 99.6% system, 0.3% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 385280K av, 361776K used, 23504K free, 0K shrd, 10744K buff Swap: 128484K av, 1160K used, 127324K free 187740K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 5 root 19 0 0 0 0 RW 0 99.0 0.0 9:37 kswapd 8337root 17 5 1268 1268 1068 R N 0 0.9 0.3 0:05 top 1 root 8 0 476 476 412 S 0 0.0 0.1 0:04 init 2 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:02 keventd 3 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 kapm-idled 4 root 19 19 0 0 0 SWN 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 ksoftirqd_CP 6 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 bdflush 7 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:03 kupdated 8 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 khubd 56 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:01 kjournald Howerver it become quite quiet now.
