Hello,

I do my best to provide details, but I am very much a novice so please bear with me. I will not ghost this issue and I will be as helpful as I can be, but I will have difficulty patching my kernel, for example.

My desktop has been freezing after its free memory nearly reaches zero. I can consistently reproduce this behavior within a few minutes of opening my IDE (any of the JetBrains products).

I have noticed that if I leave my system on for many days, it will eventually report very little free memory and freeze. Unfortunately, I have not recovered for logs after these events. However, within minutes of opening my IDE my memory usage begins to increase rapidly. When I have nearly no free memory left, my desktop freezes. By running "journalctl -b -1" after these events, I am able to recover the error and stack trace included below.


I searched for similar but reports and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216730 sounds similar, especially regarding the Linux 5 -> 6 upgrade. I believe the situation started (or became noticeably worse) after I upgraded in early December.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional details.

- Gabe
