commit 3cd1548a278c7d6a9bdef1f1866e7cf66bfd3518 upstream.
In systemd we're trying to switch the internal credentials setup logic to new mount API [1], and I noticed fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE) consistently fails on tmpfs with noswap option. This can be trivially reproduced with the following:
``` int fs_fd = fsopen("tmpfs", 0); fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noswap", NULL, 0); fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0); fsmount(fs_fd, 0, 0); fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0); <------ EINVAL ```
After some digging the culprit is shmem_reconfigure() rejecting !(ctx->seen & SHMEM_SEEN_NOSWAP) && sbinfo->noswap, which is bogus as ctx->seen serves as a mask for whether certain options are touched at all. On top of that, noswap option doesn't use fsparam_flag_no, hence it's not really possible to "reenable" swap to begin with. Drop the check and redundant SHMEM_SEEN_NOSWAP flag.
