I'm not 100% clear on what you are trying to do, but I guess you are
trying to open a swap-device/swap-file more than once?
If you have removed the above code to allow this to happen, then I'm not
surprised you are getting deadlocks. You will be using two different
"swap_map"s on the same swap-area!!!
Apologies if I have mis-understood you.
