"Hey peeps - some of you may have already noticed that in my public git
tree, the "v5.12-rc1" tag has magically been renamed to
"v5.12-rc1-dontuse". It's still the same object, it still says
"v5.12-rc1" internally, and it is still is signed by me, but the
user-visible name of the tag has changed.

The reason is fairly straightforward: this merge window, we had a very
innocuous code cleanup and simplification that raised no red flags at
all, but had a subtle and very nasty bug in it: swap files stopped
working right. And they stopped working in a particularly bad way:
the offset of the start of the swap file was lost.

Swapping still happened, but it happened to the wrong part of the
filesystem, with the obvious catastrophic end results."

Intel's CI systems have been hit by this

@jill im going to use it

@deletescape @jill it's fine if you disable swap

@kescher @deletescape swapfile*
swap partitions are fine

@jill @deletescape i hate swap partitions so much that I have a swapfile on an encrypted partition in my fstab

@jill @deletescape swap partitions are not resizable, and therefore are bad

@jill @deletescape (or at least not resizable along with other partitions)
