Occasionally (about once a day), kswapd0 falls into a busy loop and spins on 100% CPU usage indefinitely. This can be provoked by copying/writing large files (e.g. dding a 256MB file), but it happens occasionally otherwise. System memory usage (not including buffers/caches) currently sits at 36%, which is typical[1]. Initially I had no swap space configured; I've since tried enabling a 256MB swap file, but the problem continues to occur and no swap space is used. The system can be recovered with `echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`. Happy to provide further information/take further debugging actions.
