Good News! This bug is still here. Same error on
Dell Inspiron 13-7353, Ubuntu 20.04.1 (Upgraded from 18.05.5), Kernel: Linux NOMIS-inspiron 5.4.0-47-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 4 19:50:52 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Filesystem btrfs, Storage: Samsung 650 SSD (1TB). Was working properly on 18.04, and 20.04.1 on earlier kernels. I did not try late kernels. It seems like I have the worst combination of configuration but innocently walked into this . I reduced vm.swapiness to ZERO. in the hope I will encouner fewer crashes. Please advise.

Steps to reproduce: 1) sudo bash 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288 3) mkswap /swapfile 4) chown root:root /swapfile 5) chmod 0600 /swapfile 6) swapon /swapfile Last execution returns "swapon failed: invalid argument" .
