can_nocow_extent and btrfs_cross_ref_exist both rely on a heuristic for detecting a must cow condition which is not exactly accurate, but saves unnecessary tree traversal. The incorrect assumption is that if the extent was created in a generation smaller than the last snapshot generation, it must be referenced by that snapshot. That is true, except the snapshot could have since been deleted, without affecting the last snapshot generation. The original patch claimed a performance win from this check, but it also leads to a bug where you are unable to use a swapfile if you ever snapshotted the subvolume it's in. Make the check slower and more strict for the swapon case, without modifying the general cow checks as a compromise. Turning swap on does not seem to be a particularly performance sensitive operation, so incurring a possibly unnecessary btrfs_search_slot seems worthwhile for the added usability. Note: Until the snapshot is competely cleaned after deletion, check_committed_refs will still cause the logic to think that cow is necessary, so the user must until 'btrfs subvolu sync' finished before activating the swapfile swapon.
