Hello.
If I've understood sys_swapon() correctly, there is no increment of inode's usage counter if swapping goes to regular file. If this assumption is correct, it is definitely a bug. If it is wrong, please tell me why :)
This was inspired by report of someone who was able to crash system just by removing active swap file. -- Best regards, -- Boris.
