Using
4.4.0-040400rc5-lowlatency #201512140221 SMP PREEMPT
kernel has made a dramatic change to this computer. So much so that I can't
think of a test that would restrict it to the hugepage problem. Even under
heavy memory load it hits the disk drive far far less. Something has certainly
been
Installed the low latency version (since that's what I use) of 4.4-rc5.
It may be a few days before I can confirm or deny that anything changed

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.4 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.
If the mainline kernel does not fix
What may be useful to a 3 year old bug report other than the log files?
The problem still exists on that computer. I added zram swap shortly
after this bug report and it helped some. Some. Using hugepages
currently and there times when it's easier to walk away and do something
else for 10 minutes
apport information
** Tags added: apport-collected wily
** Description changed:
I seem to have found a solution to a severe thrashing/swapping/freezing
problem that I've been having for months now. I guess the real question
is - should I turn it into a bug report and what would be useful
Since you seem to be using transparent hugepages and not libhugetlbfs
(LD_PRELOAD=libhugetlbfs.so), I'm going to reassign this bug to the
Linux kernel package.
(It's also entirely possible this bug got solved in the last 3 years, to
be fair)
** Package changed: libhugetlbfs (Ubuntu) => linux
** Package changed: ubuntu = libhugetlbfs (Ubuntu)

Thank you Bug Bot. Though I knew that logging this against Ubuntu
generically was incorrect - it was not obvious how to change it wuen
making a question=bug report (metabug?). In reality I doubt it;s even
has much to do with the distro. It looks like people are having similar
problems in Suse,
