From the posting: The reproduction case is almost always during
copying large files that kswapd pegs at 100% CPU until the file is
deleted or cache is dropped.
I believe I've seen this behaviour on earlier hardware than sandybridge, I can trigger it with good reliability using abocks image-writer to create a liveusb version of the GNOME3 isos (from gnome.org) however the hardware is question unfortunately died recently. Any large file copy operation should trigger it on sandybridge according to Mel though..
