Public bug reported:

I experience that my desktop (Ubuntu 15.04) gets unresponsive maybe once a week.
When this happens the whole machine gets unresponsive immediately and only 
restarting helps.
It only turns out from the atop logs what happened after the machine was 
restarted. Atop is configured to run every 30 secs.
It is visible from the atop logs that kswapd0 is eating up all the CPU 
resources.
Strange thing is that this happens despite there is no swap enabled.

This happens mostly when Virtualbox is running and only a few amount of
memory is available.
