CPU 100% with kswapd0 process, although no swap is needed

Solution 1:

In case someone faces the same issues - the reason was malware: Multios.Coinminer.Miner.

kswapd0 was a binary file located in /root/.configrc/a/kswapd0. What you need to do is:

  1. Clear crontab jobs referring to /root/.configrc
  2. Clear ssh keys
  3. Delete /root/.configrc
