Subject: [REGRESSION] exfat: swapon(2) fails with EINVAL after iomap conversion
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 13:02:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603110212.3020276-1-japo@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi,
we are seeing a regression on linux-next after commit
614f71ca1bdfaa2f25a6f147fe22f3ad031f8e2b
("exfat: add iomap buffered I/O support")
With this change, swapon(2) on an exfat swapfile fails with EINVAL.
Observed fallout in LTP:
swapoff01
swapoff02
swapon01
swapon02
swapon03
Example failure:
tst_test.c:1980: TINFO: === Testing on exfat ===
tst_test.c:1291: TINFO: Formatting /dev/loop0 with exfat opts='' extra opts=''
tst_test.c:1303: TINFO: Mounting /dev/loop0 to /tmp/LTP_swaKmkGVo/mntpoint fstyp=exfat flags=0
tse_swap.c:196: TINFO: create a swapfile size of 1 megabytes (MB)
tst_ioctl.c:26: TINFO: FIBMAP ioctl is supported
tse_swap.c:228: TFAIL: swapon() on exfat failed: EINVAL (22)
and from swapon02:
swapon02.c:56: TWARN: swapon(alreadyused) failed: EINVAL (22)
swapon02.c:73: TFAIL: swapon(2) fail with File already used expected EBUSY: EINVAL (22)
The iomap conversion changes exfat_aops to iomap based callbacks, but does not add a
.swap_activate handler. The VFS documentation says that ->swap_activate() should call
add_swap_extent(), or the helper iomap_swapfile_activate().
So this looks like an exfat swap activation regression triggered by the iomap buffered I/O conversion.
