[now that this has come up twice I'm replying]
Yikes, you can do swap over FUSE? Ohhhh, that's why fuse implements bmap in the aops.
The last I heard from Joanne, the workaround in that bd24d2108 commit will go away when she lands iomap for read{,ahead} in 6.19. Not sure what the solution is in the meantime.
I speculate that the problem here is that the superblock s_blocksize_bits always gets reset to PAGE_SHIFT even if the fuse server had set another value, and now there's a mismatch and the swapfile code rejects?
<shrug> I dunno how much people care about swap over fuse, but it /is/ a breaking change.
