I have a cloud server with ~14G of RAM and no swap. However, I occasionally see kswapd0 taking up some CPU when I run top. Why would kswapd0 be running at all if there's no swap space for it to manage?

It still has a process to check if there's any swap. To reduce it, you'll need to set your swappiness -



edit "/etc/sysctl.conf" as root, then change (or add)



vm.swappiness = 0
