Hi Andrea,

thanks, this fixes the swapping issue for me on s390.

There is just one remaining problem: when exfat is built as a module
(CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=m), the build fails because
generic_swapfile_activate() is not exported.

Please add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(generic_swapfile_activate) in mm/page_io.c.

Best regards,
Jan
