>From the discussion that has taken place recently, the general
conditions for another bug in the Linux source have been tracked down.
However, according to the MAINTAINERS file, there is nobody
responsible for the relevant section of the code.
>From what has been said, there appears to be some sort of thrashing
occurring in the memory management code that deals with swapping
to/from disk, which occurs specifically in the following
circumstances:
1. There are TWO OR MORE swap partitions allocated.
2. ALL swap partitions have the SAME priority setting.
I don't know the code well enough at the moment to investigate
further, but would be interested to discover who's responsible for the
relevant section of code so I can pass on this report to somebody
who's better able to handle it than I am...
Best wishes from Riley.
