Sorry, I forgot to properly reply to this email.

Today I sent a patch to fix the kernel, you can take a look at it here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260618-exfat_swap_activate-v1-1-4c6a465df295@suse.com/

This patch should fix the issue, let me know if you are still seeing a
failure in the LTP tests after applying it.

Thanks,
