In case if isi.nr_pages is 0, we are making sis->pages (which is unsigned int) a huge value in iomap_swapfile_activate() by assigning -1. This could cause a kernel crash in kernel v4.18 (with below signature). Or could lead to unknown issues on latest kernel if the fake big swap gets used. Fix this issue by returning -EINVAL in case of nr_pages is 0, since it is anyway a invalid swapfile. Looks like this issue will be hit when we have pagesize < blocksize type of configuration. I was able to hit the issue in case of a tiny swap file with below test script. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/riteshharjani/LinuxStudy/master/scripts/swap-issue.sh kernel crash analysis on v4.18 ============================== On v4.18 kernel, it causes a kernel panic, since sis->pages becomes a huge value and isi.nr_extents is 0. When 0 is returned it is considered as a swapfile over NFS and SWP_FILE is set (sis->flags |= SWP_FILE). Then when swapoff was getting called it was calling a_ops->swap_deactivate() if (sis->flags & SWP_FILE) is true. Since a_ops->swap_deactivate() is NULL in case of XFS, it causes below panic.

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.
