Hey,
I've been running xfstests on a v5.12-rc3 kernel using a swapfile:
ubuntu@edfu|~
> cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb1 during curtin installation
/dev/disk/by-uuid/f2c4df25-b55c-4d1b-95fa-059f72ef86eb / ext4 defaults 0 0
/swap.img none swap sw 0 0
where my rootfs is ext4:
ubuntu@edfu|~
> findmnt | grep -i ext4
/ /dev/sdb1 ext4 rw,relatime
In addition to the /dev/sdb disk I have three other disks attached:
ubuntu@edfu|~
> lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 55.5M 1 loop /snap/core18/1988
loop1 7:1 0 69.9M 1 loop /snap/lxd/19188
loop2 7:2 0 70.4M 1 loop /snap/lxd/19647
loop3 7:3 0 32.3M 1 loop /snap/snapd/11107
loop4 7:4 0 32.3M 1 loop /snap/snapd/11402
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
sdb 8:16 0 223.6G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 223.6G 0 part /
sdc 8:32 0 279.5G 0 disk
sdd 8:48 0 931.5G 0 disk
I'm using two of them /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb for xfstests:
ubuntu@edfu|~/src/git/xfstests
> cat local.config
# Ideally define at least these 4 to match your environment
# The first 2 are required.
# See README for other variables which can be set.
#
# Note: SCRATCH_DEV >will< get overwritten!
export FSTYP=xfs
export TEST_DEV=/dev/sdc
export TEST_DIR=/mnt/test
export SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/sdd
export SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratch
when the system gets under load during test runs I assume it sometimes
swaps and so sometimes I see the following messages pop up:
> sudo journalctl | grep -i swapon
Mar 21 00:00:58 edfu kernel: swapon: file has shared extents
Mar 21 02:25:52 edfu kernel: swapon: file has unallocated extents
Mar 21 21:38:12 edfu kernel: swapon: file has shared extents
Mar 22 00:16:03 edfu kernel: swapon: file has unallocated extents
Mar 23 11:49:46 edfu kernel: swapon: file has shared extents
Mar 23 12:34:38 edfu kernel: swapon: file has unallocated extents
I don't know enough about swapfiles to make any deep observations but I
wonder what this can be caused by and whether this is something to worry
about.

That's ... probably just fstests performing regression tests of the
swapfile activation code to make sure that we only ever feed the mm
file extents that are mapped and stable.
If you run only these tests:
generic/356 generic/357 generic/472 generic/493 generic/494 generic/495
generic/496 generic/497 generic/554 generic/569 generic/570
Do you get the kernel messages right away? Those are the swapfile
stressors that I know about...

Ah, that sounds good:
generic/357 -> "swapon: file has shared extents"
generic/495 -> "swapon: file has unallocated extents"
Ok, I'm a bit careful since I've been bitten by the swapfile thing and
wanted to make sure!
Thanks for the pointer!
