I wonder how to force. We could setup

sysctl vm.swappiness=100

But how to consume enough RAM to be actually written?

OK, even without writing it would make sense to test on all filesystems.

Replacing is_swap_supported() with a static list sounds good to me.
We might endup to check kernel release for certain filesystem
(if it got swap support later). Going to send a patch.

Kind regards,
