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.
