Public bug reported:
>From a long time, I use a machine without swap, because most of the time
if I run out of memory, swap would save me at too high a cost (waiting
for a long time).
Yesterday, I upgraded from 16.10 to ubuntu 17.04 and changed my sessions
from unity to gnome.
The bug occurs as firefox is requesting more memory, and about 10/15% memory is
still free.
First Firefox freeze, I try to kill -SIGKILL it without success, then whole
system freezes. It happens three times today.
I attach the kern.log extracts reporting the problem
Each time I have the same message: kernel BUG at
/build/linux-2NWldV/linux-4.10.0/include/linux/swapops.h:129
There is no swap partition, and swapinness is set to 0.
$ tail -n 2 /etc/sysctl.conf
# I say NO SWAP
vm.swappiness = 0
$ LANG=C free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7,7G 2,1G 3,8G 433M 1,9G 4,9G
Swap: 0B 0B 0B
Also:
$ LANG=C systemctl --type swap
0 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
$ LANG=C systemctl list-unit-files --type swap
0 unit files listed.
