Can you try reverting 697ece78f8f749aeea40f2711389901f0974017a ? It may

Yeah, that was a good call. :) Linux 5.7-rc1 with the revert on top
survives the beating. I'll be happy to test a definitive patch!
Yeah I discovered recently that the way swap is implemented on powerpc
expects RW and other important bits not be one of the 3 least
significant bits (see __pte_to_swp_entry() )
I guess the easiest for the time being is to revert the commit with a
proper explanation of the issue, then one day we'll modify the way
powerpc manages swap.
