After moving ext4's bmap to iomap interface, swapon functionality on files created using fallocate (which creates unwritten extents) are failing. This is since iomap_bmap interface returns 0 for unwritten extents and thus generic_swapfile_activate considers this as holes and hence bail out with below kernel msg :- [340.915835] swapon: swapfile has holes To fix this we need to implement ->swap_activate aops in ext4 which will use ext4_iomap_report_ops. Since we only need to return the list of extents so ext4_iomap_report_ops should be enough.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
