Description Karel Zak 2016-09-21 13:33:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

The current swapon code does not work as expected if the options string contains anything else behind "discard=<flag>", for example

  discard=pages,pri=1

enables discard, but does not set "pages" flag. For more details see upstream commit message:

... yeah, brown-paper-bag bug.
