A "lot" of bugs?

How did you create that swap file?

If it is the bug reported in May, a normal swapfile on ext4 that has been 
used with a 5.6 kernel can be rejected   One fix is to modify the test that 
fails, but a comment to that proposed patch indicated that there is some 
provision  for special handling of swapfiles that should be used.   
I assume that, absent a kernel patch, the problem could come back, 
e.g., after booting an older kernel to repair something.
