Subject: swapfile: disable swapon for bs > ps devices
Date: Mon, 5 May 2025 12:35:19 -0700

Devices which have a requirement for bs > ps cannot be supported for swap
as swap still needs work.  Now that the block device cache sets the min
order for block devices we need this stopgap otherwise all swap operations
are rejected.

Without this you'll end up with errors on these devices as the swap code
still needs much love to support min order.

With this we at least now put a stop gap of its use, until the swap
subsystem completes its major overhaul:

mkswap: /dev/nvme3n1: warning: wiping old swap signature.
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 100 GiB (107374178304 bytes)
no label, UUID=6af76b5c-7e7b-4902-b7f7-4c24dde6fa36
swapon: /dev/nvme3n1: swapon failed: Invalid argument
