Hi Greg, My general question is that has the community seen "swap latency issues with disk IO" in general. Further can we assume that later kernels (like 4.4) does not exhibit such a behavior. Thanks, Sudharsan On Sun, Sep 10, 2017 at 10:32 AM, Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> wrote:

Hi All,
We are running a pretty (rather a very old kernel) 2.6.32. Nevertheless we do see huge latency on disk IO once system starts using swap.
That's your problem, 2.6.32 is _very_ old and obsolete. No one in the community can help you out with that release anymore, sorry.
Please go get support from the company that is forcing you to stay at such an old kernel version, as you are already paying them for that support.
I strongly recommend you use a more modern kernel release, you will find that things should be _much_ better...
good luck!
