The only way error is 0 in the cleanup blocks is when the function is returning successfully. In this case, the cleanup blocks were setting S_SWAPFILE in the S_ISREG case. But this is not a cleanup. Move the setting of S_SWAPFILE to just before the "goto out;" to make this more clear. At this point, we do not need to test for inode because it will never be NULL.
