I reproduced this problem under a VM this way:

$ sudo ./stress-ng --swap 1
// on another terminal
$ for i in `seq 8`; do ./swap & done
Looks simpler than yours :-)
(Didn't realize you have posted your reproducer here since I'm not CCed
and just found it after invented mine)
Then the warning message normally appear within a few seconds.

Here is the code for the above swap prog:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

#define SIZE 0x100000

int main(void)
{
        int i, ret;
        void *p;

        p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANON, -1, 0);
        if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
                perror("mmap");
                return -1;
        }

        ret = 0;
        while (1) {
                for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i += 0x1000)
                        ((char *)p)[i] = 1;
                ret = madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
                if (ret != 0) {
                        perror("madvise");
                        break;
                }
        }

        return ret;
}

Unfortunately, this test prog did not work on kernels before v5.4 because
MADV_PAGEOUT is introduced in v5.4. I tested on v5.4 and the problem is
also there.

Haven't found a way to trigger swap with swap device come and go on
kernels before v5.4; tried putting the test prog in a memcg with memory
limit but then the prog is easily killed due to nowhere to swap out.
