Ocfs2 devel - Jun 2019 - [PATCH 5/5] vfs: don't allow writes to swap files

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong at oracle.com>

Don't let userspace write to an active swap file because the kernel
effectively has a long term lease on the storage and things could get
seriously corrupted if we let this happen.

Er...  So why exactly is e.g. chmod(2) forbidden for swapfiles?  Or touch(1),
for that matter...

Why are swap partitions any less worthy of protection?
