The kernel can do absolutly nothing when it wants to read back some
pages (from swap to RAM) that ar no longer readable.

Well, now that you asked. Had just that failure last week on one of
my non-raid hosts. The system is up and responds to some port queries
but will not connect to telnet. The error message on the console was

Good day -
Is using a raid1 partition pair for swap space supported?
I've tried creating a raid1 pair, running mkswap on it (no problem) and
then swapon (no problem once again), but when I force swapping to occur,
the system crashed with 'in swapper task - not syncing'.
