Unfortunately, I found one, testing current mm-everything: [ 189.420777] get_swap_device: Unused swap offset entry 000641ae [ 189.426648] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 189.431290] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 369 at mm/swapfile.c:1301 get_swap_device+0x2da/0x3f0 [ 189.439242] CPU: 3 PID: 369 Comm: cachish Not tainted 6.8.0-rc5-00527-g19d98776f227-dirty #30 [ 189.447791] Hardware name: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Confirmed that reverting the patch makes the warnings go away.
