I don't think this tests the case where a file was already open for
writing and someone does swapon(that file)?

And then does swapoff(that file), when writes should start working again?

Ditto all the above, with s/open/mmap/.


Do we handle (and test!) the case where there's unwritten dirty
pagecache at the time of swapon()?  Ditto pte-dirty MAP_SHARED pages?
