When his happens, I see 100% kswapd in top; but no change in swap pagein/pageout at all. In fact, minimal I/O. That lead me to this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110501 And also to this recent kernel work, not yet landed and which may not be related (since there's not much I/O in my case) to this problem; but might help somewhat with the other thread on earlyoom and unresponsive systems.
