Hello,
kern :err : [ 187.461914] F2FS-fs (sda1): Swapfile does not align to section
commit 02eb84b96bc1b382dd138bf60724edbefe77b025 Author: huangjianan@oppo.com [off-list ref] Date: Mon Mar 1 12:58:44 2021 +0800
f2fs: check if swapfile is section-alligned
If the swapfile isn't created by pin and fallocate, it can't be
guaranteed section-aligned, so it may be selected by f2fs gc. When
gc_pin_file_threshold is reached, the address of swapfile may change,
but won't be synchronized to swap_extent, so swap will write to wrong
address, which will cause data corruption. Signed-off-by: Huang Jianan [off-list ref]

Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim [off-list ref]The test uses fallocate to preallocate the swap file and writes zeros to it. I'm not sure what pin refers to? -- Thank you, Richard.
