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.
