Yes, applying this instead of the revert fixes the issue as well.

I've applied this patch on 3.7.0-rc3 kernel - and I still see excessive
CPU usage - mainly  after  suspend/resume

Here is just simple  kswapd backtrace from running kernel:

Yup, this is what we were seeing with the former patch only too. Try to
apply the other one too:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1673231/

For me I would say, it is fixed by the two patches now. I won't be able
to report later, since I'm leaving to a conference tomorrow.

Damn it. It recurred right now, with both patches applied. After I
started a java program which consumed some more memory. Though there are
still 2 gigs free, kswap is spinning:
[<ffffffff810b00da>] __cond_resched+0x2a/0x40
[<ffffffff811318a0>] shrink_slab+0x1c0/0x2d0
[<ffffffff8113478d>] kswapd+0x66d/0xb60
[<ffffffff810a25d0>] kthread+0xc0/0xd0
[<ffffffff816aa29c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff


Yep - wanted to report myself again and noticed your replay.

Yes - I've now also both patches installed - and I still observe kswapd eating my CPU. It seems (at least for me) that prior suspend and resume is way to trigger it more frequently.

However there is a change in behaviour - while before kswapd was running almost indefinitely now the> CPU spikes are in the range of minutes.
(i.e. uptime  ~2days -   kswapd has over 32minutes CPU time)
My machine has 4GB, and no swap (disabled)

firefox (22mins), thunderbird(3mins) and pidgin(0.5min) are the 3 most memory and CPU hungry apps for this moment.
