Well here is the comments in mm/vmscan.c
/* * Hey, if somebody wants to kill us, be our guest. * Don't come running to mama if things don't work. */ siginitsetinv(¤t->blocked, sigmask(SIGKILL));
So basically a word of advice...if you don't want it dead don't be killing it...I guess there could be reasons as to why you'd want to kill kswapd. I can't think of any though. I guess if you want to defeat this "feature" Just #if 0 out the siginitsetinv line in mm/vmscan.c
