A workaround is proposed there: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879801#c13 The workaround does not solve the matter completely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207807 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207807#c5 --- Comment #5 from Alexander Krupp --- Thank you for pointing out the issue including the trace-cmd. I am running at present with linux memory compaction enabled, but with VMware page trimming disabled as suggested in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1694305#c12 The issue did occur less frequently over the past hours, but it still happens. I can trigger it at will by issuing: echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory Result: the vmware guest freezes instantly for approx. 25s. The trace I uploaded was started ~ 2s before memory compaction was requested and it was stopped once the guest unfroze. I hope that helps somewhat. My kernel is Linux en-pc82 5.14.21-150400.24.41-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jan 13 08:55:22 UTC 2023 (1d4442d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux however the problem has haunted me for a couple of months, and across multiple kernel versions already. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
