Torvalds marks k5.12rc1 as "DON'T USE" - swap-file issue

Afternoon, all.
Thought this might be worth a mention. I know some of you like the very newest kernel all the time, and an increasing proportion of you have been experimenting with swap-FILES rather than swap partitions. Just a timely warning that due to a serious bug in the k5.12rc1 kernel, you could completely trash your root file-system.....
