Bug#280651: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7: kswapd bug : eating cpu

[Vincent Pelletier <vincent.plr@wanadoo.fr>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7
Version: 2.6.9-1
Severity: important

Sometimes kswapd0 process eats all cpu.
It seems to be a know bug for 2.6.9 kernel and here is the patch :
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.9/2.6.9-ck3/patches/vm-pages_scanned-active_list.patch
(according to http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/11/msg00166.html)

I hope that bugreport will be obsoleted soon as it seems that kernel
packagers are already aware of it ;).
