[LTP] [PATCH] libswap: add Btrfs noCOW attribute setting for swap files

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Li,

> The patch aims to ensure swap files on Btrfs filesystems are created
> with the appropriate FS_NOCOW_FL attribute, which is necessary to
> disable CoW (Copy-on-Write) for swap files, perthe btrfs(5) manual page.
> This change is gated behind a kernel version check to ensure compatibility
> with the system's capabilities.

>     Hi Petr,

>       I haven't gotten a chance to test this patch on any Btrfs platform,
>       but only compile successfully without error on my RHEL8/9(xfs).
>       Can you help test and guarantee it works for you?

I'm not able to apply this to the current master. I also got a bit confused by
number of patches for libswap / swapon01. Could you please resend all the
patches again (in a series)? Or push branch to your fork and point the location?
(whatever is easier to you)

Kind regards,
Petr
