Bug description:
Following update from kernel 4.13.0-32-generic to 4.13.0-36-generic,
my Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosted Ubunntu servers experienced problems with
memory allocation--they reported total assigned memory less than the
initial allocation of the dynamic memory configuration, corresponding
with 98% memory utilization and over 35 load average.
I was able to boot back to 4.13.0-32-generic, and the issue went away.
I was also able to resolve the issue by changing the servers from
dynamic memory allocations (512 initial 4096 max) to static memory
allocations (4096 static).
Sar memory snapshots as follows, only change was kernel booted:
