Yes, but we’d upgraded all out HPC client nodes to 5.0.2-1 last week as well 
when this first happened …

Unless it’s necessary to upgrade the NSD servers as well for this?

"paging to disk" sometimes means mmap as well - there were several issues 
around that recently as well.

Despite its name, kswapd isn't directly involved in paging to disk; it's
the kernel process that's involved in finding committed memory that can be
reclaimed for use (either immediately, or possibly by flushing dirty pages
to disk). If kswapd is using a lot of CPU, it's a sign that the kernel is
spending a lot of time to find free pages to allocate to processes.
